NIS Regulations: Targeted Consultation on Digital Service Providers
The Government held a targeted consultation on the implementation of the NIS Directive and its associated Implementing Act for digital service providers.
In the Government’s response to the public consultation on its proposals to implement the Security of Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS Directive), DCMS committed to carry out a further targeted consultation on how the NIS Directive will apply to Digital Service Providers (DSPs) in the UK. This targeted consultation took place after the European Commission’s Implementing Regulation for Digital Service Providers was published. The Implementing Regulation was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 30 January 2018 and can be found on the EUR-LEX website.
DCMS therefore carried out this further targeted consultation during March and April 2018. The consultation was aimed at those respondents who indicated a desire to participate in this further consultation in their response to the main public consultation in 2017. The consultation was sent in the form of a PDF attached to an email.
In the interest of transparency, the text of the targeted consultation has been published on this page.
