- Adopt and keep current cybersecurity policy documents, periodically analyse and manage your cybersecurity risks, designate the persons responsible for cybersecurity, manage cybersecurity incidents and report on them, secure your supply chain, and deploy technical cybersecurity measures.
- Designate a cybersecurity manager and/or security officer who organises your risk assessment and prepares your risk-assessment reports and risk-management plans for approval, and have your management body, head and designated representative complete cybersecurity training at least once every two years.
- Follow the detailed technical and organisational measures the Government's Cybersecurity Requirements Description sets out; if you are newly registered, you have 12 months from registration to implement the requirements and 24 months to implement the technical requirements the Description names.
- Where you are a DNS service provider, top-level-domain registry, cloud service provider, data-centre service provider, content-delivery-network provider, managed service provider, managed security service provider, electronic-marketplace service provider, internet search engine or social-networking-service-platform provider, or a trust service provider, follow instead the cybersecurity risk-management measures of the European Commission's directly-applicable Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, binding from the moment you enter the Register rather than the Government's own Requirements Description.
- This binds a cybersecurity subject (essential or important entity) that NKSC has entered in the Cybersecurity Subjects Register under Annex 1 or Annex 2 of the Law, sector lists that reach, among others, an internet search engine, an online marketplace and a social-networking-service platform provider as a "special subject"; the wider sector classes the Annexes also reach (critical-infrastructure operators, energy, transport, health, finance, public administration and others) are reached too, by declaring that you are an essential or important entity.

- Submit a final report within one month of the day you submitted the early warning (the notification in Article 18(4)(1)), and an interim report on NKSC's request within the deadline NKSC sets.
- If the incident is still ongoing when the final report falls due, submit a progress report, and submit the final report within one month of the day the incident was contained.
- Report to NKSC every cyber incident affecting you, not only a significant one, and every near-miss incident; if you have no statutory duty to report, you may still do so to NKSC voluntarily.

- These rules are enacted but do not apply yet: they apply from , and the Civil Code rules in force until keep governing products placed on the market or put into use before then (Art. 3 of Act No. XV-1080).
- If you develop or make a product, software included, or present yourself as its manufacturer by putting your name, trade mark or another distinguishing sign on it, you answer as its manufacturer for damage a defect in it causes (Arts. 6.292(1) and 6.293(1) point 1 and (2)).
- Keep supplying the software updates and upgrades needed to keep the product safe while it is within your control: you keep control if you integrate or supply a component or can supply updates or upgrades yourself or through a third party, and a defect caused by software, by an update or upgrade, or by a missing update needed for safety is not excused because it arose after you placed the product on the market (Arts. 6.292(3) and 6.298(1) point 1).
- Treat safety-relevant cybersecurity requirements and any recall or other corrective action as part of what decides whether your product is defective (Art. 6.294(1) points 6 and 7).
- Allow for what the product learns or acquires after it is placed on the market, because the effect of that ability is weighed in deciding whether it is defective (Art. 6.294(1) point 3).
- Keep evidence you could produce if a court orders you to disclose it: failing to disclose relevant evidence the claimant requested presumes the product defective (Art. 6.297(1) point 1).
- Meet the product-safety requirements that apply to your product: failing a requirement that protects against the risk of the harm suffered presumes it defective (Art. 6.297(1) point 2).
- If you are outside the EU, your importer or authorized representative established in the EU answers for the product in your place, and where there is neither, the fulfilment service provider answers (Art. 6.292(4)).
- If you distribute a product, or run an online platform that lets consumers conclude distance contracts with traders where the conditions of Article 6(3) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 are met, name the manufacturer, importer, authorized representative, fulfilment service provider or your own supplier within a month of the injured person's request, or you answer for the damage (Art. 6.292(5)).
- If you substantially modify a product outside the manufacturer's control and then place it on the market or put it into use, you answer as its manufacturer (Art. 6.292(2)).
- If you build a software component into a product, you have no recourse against the maker of a defective software component that was a micro or small enterprise when it placed the component on the market, where you waived recourse in your contract with it (Art. 6.296(2)).
- Free and open-source software developed or supplied outside commercial activity is outside these rules (Art. 6.299(2)).
- A claim must be brought within three years of the day the injured person learned, or should have learned, of the damage, the defect and who the liable operator is, and the right to sue is extinguished ten years after the product was placed on the market or put into use, or 25 years where a court finds that a later-revealed injury prevented suit within ten (Art. 6.300).
