The order was adopted on the basis of Government Emergency Ordinance No. 155/2024 on establishing a framework for the cybersecurity of networks and information systems in the national civil cyberspace, approved with amendments by Law No. 124/2025, and Government Emergency Ordinance No. 104/2021 on the establishment of the National Cyber Security Directorate, approved with amendments by Law No. 11/2022, with subsequent amendments.
