National Cyber Security Directorate / Directoratul Național de Securitate Cibernetică

The National Cyber Security Directorate replaces the Romanian National Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CERT-RO) and will have a much wider range of responsibilities, adapted to the needs of an ever-moving and developing world. DNSC is to take over the staff, infrastructure and tasks of the former CERT-RO.

The Directorate will play a key role in implementing the updated Romanian National Cyber Security Strategy and in ensuring compliance with international commitments, including those related to the implementation of the EU Cybersecurity Strategy, the Directive on Security Network and Information Systems (Directive (EU) 2016/1148) ('the NIS Directive'), and the revised Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems ('NIS 2 Directive'), as well as the commitments of Romania as hosting country for the European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre ('ECCC').
