Technology Regulation Forum

💡 The UK's Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022 (the "PSTI Act") came into effect on 29 April 2024. It is the UK’s new consumer products cybersecurity regime and aims to ensure that UK consumers are not put at risk by insecure technology products. In this Q&A, Aonghus Heatley and Frankie Everitt address the requirements of the PSTI Act for products such as smartphones, smart TVs, smart speakers, connected baby monitors and connected alarm systems. If you are a manufacturer, importer or retailer of smart products, watch the video to learn more. Fieldfisher #Cybersecurity #ConnectableProducts #PSTI #IoT #SmartDevices

🇱🇻Here's the next of our #NIS2 local country updates... #Latvia! 🇱🇻 Whilst Latvia does not go as far as Hungary in ditching the main establishment principle, the exceptions mean this should be hot on the radar of any business with operations or providing services in Latvia. Many thanks as ever to our colleagues Mikijs Zīmecs and Sarmis Spilbergs at Ellex Legal, and Salma Eleyan and James Walsh at Fieldfisher in London.

📣🇮🇹#NIS2 update klaxon for the new law in #Italy which is in force from today! 🇮🇹📣 This is a more straightforward implementation than we have seen in #Hungary and #Latvia. However, the potential for #management bodies to have personal liability for the entity's failings (potentially including any regulatory fines) is an important consideration. Get in touch with myself, James Walsh or our brilliant Italian #Cybersecurity team of Diego Rigatti and Paola La Notte if you have any queries.

As we approach the end of 2024, a significant change in EU product safety regulation is on the horizon: the 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is set to come into force on 𝟭𝟯 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿, replacing the existing General Product Safety Directive. Below, we have set out some of the steps which businesses, particularly non-EU based businesses, will need to consider as the deadline for compliance approaches 👇 https://lnkd.in/eBqWTCrk

Fieldfisher's Tech and Data practice has been working with local counsel to track the implementation of NIS2 across Europe. In the second of our country law updates, we look at Belgium's implementing Act and some of the key points you need to know: 🔹 **Registration Deadline:** DNS service providers, TLD name registries, cloud computing service providers, data centre service providers, managed (security) service providers etc. must register by 18 December 2024 with the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) 🔹 **Infosec requirements:** The Belgian implementing act does not set out additional cybersecurity risk management measures. Conformity assessments are mandatory for essential entities. 🔹 **Main Establishment Principle:** Belgium has implemented the main establishment principle. Look out for more country updates from our team coming shortly to stay informed and ensure your organisation is compliant with the latest regulations.
