Contact:
Akin head of international competition Davina Garrod, cybersecurity, privacy & data protection senior counsel Jenny Arlington and counsel Olivia Odubanjo have co-authored a Law360 article analysing the European Commission’s proposed Cybersecurity Act 2 (CSA2) and Digital Networks Act (DNA), and their potential impact on businesses.
The article examines how the proposals aim to strengthen EU cybersecurity governance, enhance ICT supply chain resilience and modernise digital infrastructure, including the rollout of 5G and future 6G networks and cloud-based computing infrastructures that enable AI development and deployment.
The piece highlights key implications for businesses, including stricter supply chain due diligence, expanded certification and compliance requirements, and significant enforcement risks, with potential fines of up to 7% of global annual turnover.
The proposals are also expected to increase regulatory complexity and compliance burdens for businesses, particularly as they interact with existing frameworks such as NIS 2 and the Cyber Resilience Act, requiring organisations to reassess their risk management, supply chain and operational structures.
