  • This binds an operator, public or private, that the Agence Nationale de la Cybersécurité designates as an essential-service operator because its continuity could be gravely affected by an incident touching an electronic-communications network or an information system.
  • Comply with the protective measures the Agence Nationale de la Cybersécurité sets to secure your essential infrastructure, and hold the accreditation the Agency grants to a compliant operator.
  • Expect the Agence Nationale de la Cybersécurité to inspect and audit your essential infrastructure's information systems, and to impose administrative sanctions, including pecuniary ones, if you fail to meet your cybersecurity obligations; the law does not state a fixed amount.
  • Expect the Agence Nationale de la Cybersécurité to collect technical information about an incident affecting your essential infrastructure; no fixed deadline for reporting an incident to the Agency is stated.

  • Submit your networks or information systems to a mandatory security audit and severity-impact assessment by the Agence Nationale de la Cybersécurité at least once a year, or more often where circumstances require it.
