Greece
(a) What is the NIS2 implementation status?
Not transposed yet.
(b) What is the envisaged NIS2 implementation timeline?
Public consultation on a draft law has been concluded and transposition is expected to be concluded by the end of November 2024.
(c) What does the NIS2 mean for other national cybersecurity legislation?
New law will repeal and effectively replace Law 4577/2018, which had transposed NIS1.
(d) Who will be the supervisory authority and how are they preparing the market?
The National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA). We are not aware of any initiatives taken so far to raise awareness or prepare the market.
(e) What should you be doing/on the lookout for?
Clients should start preparing on the basis of the provisions included in the EU Directive, as, at this stage, we would expect the Greek transposition to follow the language used in the EU Directive. That said, clients in the telecom industry in particular should also consider the EU toolbox for 5G security, as this could potentially affect transposition of NIS2 or secondary legislation.
