Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill

Contribution

The information we are talking about here is not necessarily innocuous administrative data. NIS information can include IP addresses, digital identifiers and user-level log-ins. In the wrong hands, that information could potentially be used to identify individuals, establish their activities or assist in building a case against them. For a dissident or human rights defender living in this country, that could have very serious consequences for not just them but any family members remaining overseas.
