UKSC

The National Cyber Security System Act (UKSC) is a Polish law aimed at strengthening the country’s cyber security. The law imposes obligations on public and private entities recognized as key service operators and digital service providers. It applies to sectors such as energy, transportation, banking, healthcare, digital infrastructure and public administration. It aims to ensure business continuity and protect critical infrastructure from cyber threats.

The UKSC’s main requirements include implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to manage cyber risks. Entities covered by the law must identify and analyze risks, implement adequate safeguards, monitor systems for incidents, and report serious incidents to competent authorities. The law also requires staff training and cooperation with national institutions on cyber security.

A UKSC Compliance Audit provides a comprehensive assessment of your organization’s compliance with the requirements of the Act. Our experts analyze your existing security management procedures, systems and practices, identifying areas for adjustment. We provide a detailed report with recommendations to help you effectively implement the necessary changes. In this way, you minimize the risk of sanctions for non-compliance, increase the level of security and build trust among customers and business partners.

The audit process begins with understanding the specifics of your organization and its role in the sector in which it operates. We then conduct an analysis of your documentation, procedures, systems and security management processes. We assess the effectiveness of risk identification and management mechanisms, incident reporting procedures, business continuity plans and staff training. Once the analysis is complete, we prepare a detailed report with audit findings and recommendations for adaptation measures.

The audit covers key areas such as cyber risk management, network and information system security, incident reporting procedures, business continuity and disaster recovery plans, vendor management, and employee cyber security training and awareness. We analyze both technical and organizational aspects to ensure full compliance with the Act’s requirements.

Non-compliance with the UKSC can result in serious consequences, including financial penalties, administrative fines and even restrictions on doing business. In addition, non-compliance can negatively affect an organization’s reputation, undermine the trust of customers and partners, and increase the risk of security incidents, which can lead to further financial and operational losses.

Yes, the UKSC Compliance Audit can be coordinated with other standards and regulations, such as ISO 27001 or NIS2. Many of the Act’s requirements overlap with these standards, enabling effective compliance management and avoiding duplication of efforts. Our team will help integrate UKSC requirements into your existing security management framework, creating a consistent and effective security system.

The cost of an audit depends on a number of factors, such as the size and complexity of your organization, the scope of the audit, the number of systems and processes to be assessed, and your specific requirements. After an initial consultation, we will prepare a customized proposal tailored to your needs and budget, ensuring transparency and flexibility in our approach to costs.
