Law 5160/2024, Significant-Incident Reporting Obligationssince 7 lines
Law 5160/2024 (Ν. 5160/2024), Art. 16 · Read the law's page
- This binds an essential entity or an important entity drawn from Annex I or Annex II, on the same scope as this jurisdiction's companion risk-management row: Annex II's digital-provider entry names an online marketplace, an online search engine and a social-networking-services platform, reached at the medium-enterprise threshold or above; the wider sector classes are reached as on that row. A financial entity covered by Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 reports under that Regulation instead, because Article 5, paragraph 3 sets the incident-reporting provisions of this Law aside for it, while it must still cooperate with the National Cybersecurity Authority.
- Notify the CSIRT of the National Cybersecurity Authority, without undue delay and in any case within 24 hours of becoming aware of a significant incident, with an early warning stating whether unlawful or malicious action is suspected and whether the incident may have cross-border effects.
- Follow within 72 hours of becoming aware of the significant incident with an incident notification updating the early warning and adding an initial assessment of its severity and effects.
- Submit an interim report if the National Cybersecurity Authority requests one.
- Submit a final report no later than one month after the 72-hour notification, describing the incident in detail, its severity and effects, the likely threat or root cause, mitigating measures applied, and any cross-border impact; if the incident is still ongoing at that point, submit a progress report instead and the final report within one month of its resolution.
- If you are a trust-service provider, notify the National Cybersecurity Authority of a significant incident affecting your trust services within 24 hours of becoming aware of it, in place of the 72-hour notification.
- Without undue delay, notify the recipients of your services of a significant incident likely to adversely affect the services they receive, and inform any recipients affected by a significant cyber threat of the threat and of the measures they can take in response.

- Within three months of this duty's entry into force, have your management body approve the cybersecurity risk-management measures you take to comply with the measures below, supervise their implementation, and ensure every board member receives training and that equivalent training reaches your staff at least annually.
- Take appropriate and proportionate technical, operational and organisational measures to manage the risks to the network and information systems you use for your activities or to provide your services, and to prevent or minimise the impact of an incident on the recipients of your services or on other services.
- Cover at minimum: risk analysis and information-system security policy; incident handling; business continuity, including backup management, disaster recovery and crisis management; supply-chain security, including your direct suppliers and service providers; security in the acquisition, development and maintenance of your systems, including vulnerability handling and disclosure; policies to assess the effectiveness of your risk-management measures; basic cyber-hygiene practices and staff training; cryptography and, where relevant, encryption policy; personnel security, access control and asset management; and, where appropriate, multi-factor or continuous authentication and secure voice, video, text and emergency communications.
- Designate a qualified staff member as ICT Security Officer (Υ.Α.Σ.Π.Ε.), who manages communications with the National Cybersecurity Authority and coordinates compliance and incident reporting internally, keep a unified cybersecurity policy (an essential entity submits it to the Authority for approval at least annually), and keep an inventory of your information and communication assets ranked by criticality.
- This binds an essential entity or an important entity drawn from Annex I (high-criticality sectors) or Annex II (other critical sectors), which the law's own table of contents captions as corresponding directly to NIS2 Directive Annexes I and II; Annex II's digital-provider entry names an online marketplace, an online search engine and a social-networking-services platform (each a defined term in Article 6), reached at the medium-enterprise threshold of Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC or above (Article 3(1)); the wider sector classes Annexes I and II reach by designation (energy, transport, banking, health, drinking water, public administration and the rest) are reached too, by declaring that you are an essential or important entity. A financial entity covered by Regulation (EU) 2022/2554 answers under that Regulation instead, because Article 5, paragraph 3 sets the risk-management and supervision provisions of this Law aside for it, while it must still cooperate with the National Cybersecurity Authority.
