Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) BillContribution
15A: Clause 12, page 10, leave out lines 27 and 28 and insert—
“(a) P supplies goods or services, whether directly or through one or more intermediaries, on which an OES for which the authority is the designated competent authority materially depends for the provision of an essential service,”Member's explanatory statement
This amendment would allow regulators to address material dependencies beyond immediate contractual suppliers, while ensuring that the statutory review tests whether supply-chain risks outside the regulatory perimeter are undermining resilience and does so at a frequency that reflects technological and threat-related change.
