Overview[]
The National Cyber Security Centre (Netherlands) (NCSC) is working on cybersecurity in the Netherlands. It forms part of the Ministry of Justice and Security.
Since 9 November 2018, the Network and Information Systems Security Act (Wet beveiliging netwerk- en informatiesystemen, Wbni) has been in effect. The Wbni stipulates the statutory tasks of the NCSC in the field of cybersecurity. Organisations in vital sectors and central government are obliged to report serious digital security incidents to the NCSC. Providers of essential services (aanbieders van essentiële diensten, AED) and digital service providers (DSP) must comply with the law. The Wbni aims to improve the digital resilience of the Netherlands, mitigate the consequences of cyber incidents and in doing so prevent social disruption.
