SOA became the national cybersecurity authority
On February 15, 2024, the Cybersecurity Act (Official Gazette, No. 14/2024) entered into force. The Cybersecurity Act transposes into national legislation Directive (EU) 2022/2555 of the European Parliament and of the Council of December 14, 2022, on measures for a high common level of cybersecurity across the Union, amending Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 and Directive (EU) 2018/1972 and repealing Directive (EU) 2016/1148 (NIS2 Directive).
The aim of Cybersecurity Act is to ensure the effective implementation of procedures and measures to achieve a high level of cybersecurity prescribed therein. To this end, the Act establishes a new cybersecurity management system in the Republic of Croatia, which entails a reorganization of the existing responsibilities in the field of cybersecurity.
The Cybersecurity Act establishes the functionality of a central state cybersecurity authority, whose tasks will be carried out by the Security and Intelligence Agency (SOA). For this purpose, the existing Cybersecurity Center of the SOA will be transformed into the National Cybersecurity Center (NCSC-HR).
