Cybersäkerhetslagen (Sverige)

The Cybersäkerhetslagen (CSL) is the Swedish implementation of the EU's NIS2 Directive, aimed at enhancing cybersecurity across the European Union. It introduces stricter requirements for risk management, incident reporting, and governance of cybersecurity measures. The law applies to both public and private entities within essential and important sectors, including energy, transport, health, and digital infrastructure. It broadens the scope compared to the previous NIS Directive, encompassing more sectors and actors. Compliance includes implementing adequate cybersecurity measures, reporting significant incidents within 24 hours, designating a cybersecurity contact point, and being subject to oversight and potential sanctions for non-compliance. The purpose of CSL is achieving a higher level of cybersecurity and better cooperation among member states.
