Detail of outcome

This call for evidence provided data for the BIS impact assessment on the proposal for the EU Network and Information Security Directive. As negotiations continue, BIS may publish further documents in regards to amendments on the Directive and seek views from UK stakeholders on these changes.

This evidence, in addition to the evidence gathered in discussions and the workshop that we held for a range of interested parties, will contribute to help the UK’s position in the ongoing European Union negotiations and feed into a qualitative impact assessment.

This was accompanied by a cyber security strategy that contains non-legislative measures on a broad range of issues. These documents can be found on the European Commission website.

The government is preparing an initial impact assessment on the potential effects of the directive in the UK and is launching this call for evidence to gather data to inform the evidence base for this assessment.
