The UK government is to carry out further work to help online marketplaces, online search engines and cloud computing service providers identify whether they fall under the scope of the EU’s Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive.
The government carried out a consultation earlier this year focusing on the guidance it needed to provide for digital service providers (DSPs) in the wake of the NIS directive’s implementation in May.
In its response (11 page / 163KB PDF), published last week, the government said respondents had broadly agreed with its approach but there continued to be uncertainty over exactly who was in scope, particularly in relation to cloud service providers, and that greater clarification was needed on the subject of cost recovery.
