The National Cybersecurity Center stated that the recent approval of the licensing system for cybersecurity service providers by the Cabinet aims to safeguard the rights of service recipients. This initiative ensures that clients receive services adhering to the highest standards while maintaining the confidentiality of the information handled by service providers.
In a statement released on Sunday, the center outlined that the new licensing system establishes a comprehensive legislative framework intended to guarantee the quality of services within the cybersecurity sector. The system will oversee, monitor, and audit service providers, thereby protecting the rights of both providers and recipients.
According to the new regulations, companies must secure a license from the National Cybersecurity Center, which is contingent upon meeting specified requirements detailed in the licensing guidelines. The provision of cybersecurity services without obtaining this license is strictly prohibited.
The license will be valid for a period of three years and can be canceled, modified, or not renewed under certain conditions.
Furthermore, the regulations allow companies that received prior approval from the center to adjust their status within one year following the issuance of the relevant regulatory instructions for each cybersecurity service.
