What the act requires
The duty of care starts with policy for risk analysis and security of information systems [1]. The NIS2 directive names the same topic [2].
How the Cyberbeveiligingsbesluit elaborates this
The Cbb requires two policy documents: a security policy with roles and responsibilities and a management system, and a risk management policy with a method and criteria for risk acceptance. The risk analysis results in an overview of risks and from that your security requirements [3] [4].
What the sector regulation adds
The ministerial regulation for your sector asks you to record in your management system which measures you monitor and measure, and when you measure and analyse and evaluate the results [6]. On the basis of your risk analysis you also segment your systems into networks or zones [7]. For transport and chemicals that is the Cyberbeveiligingsregeling IenW [8]; for, among others, postal and courier services and food, equivalent regulations apply [9].
What you record in practice
- an established security policy with roles, responsibilities and powers
- a risk management method and your criteria for risk acceptance
- an up-to-date overview of risks, also for your planning, on-board and warehouse systems
- the security requirements you derive from that overview, also towards suppliers
Does this also apply to cloud and IT service providers?
If your company falls under Cbb Article 4 (among others cloud, data centres and managed (security) services), Cbb Articles 6 to 18 do not apply [5] and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 elaborates this measure. The obligation under Cbw Article 21 remains.
