In the frameworks
Our reading of where this law's duties sit in each framework, and in the NIST CSF 2.0, line by line beside each duty above. It never says that running a control meets the law. How we read a framework against the law

Private right of actionNo
Criminal exposure note
Article 37 refers a violation of the cybersecurity legislation generically to liability "in the established manner," which the statute's own official commentary at that article identifies as the Code of Administrative Liability (Arts. 155, 202-2) and the Criminal Code (Ch. XX-1); the Law itself states no maximum penalty for either track.
What this law does
A "cybersecurity subject," defined as any legal entity or individual entrepreneur that owns, uses, or disposes of national information resources, or that provides electronic information services using them, must notify the State Security Service of cybersecurity incidents and cybercrimes as they occur, take measures to prevent the loss of digital evidence needed to fully expose the incident, and keep the records needed to analyze it.
The Law sets no numeric reporting deadline and no severity or materiality threshold for this duty. Where the affected resource's owner has the resources and technical means to investigate the incident itself, it may do so, but must then report the results to the State Security Service.
