- Establish an appropriate oversight and enforcement regime for the NIS Regulations;
- Assess the compliance by Operators of Essential Services (OESs) and Digital Service Providers (DSPs) in meeting the requirements of the NIS Regulations; and
- Develop a framework for national and international cooperation.
