This work aims to examine and deliver a set of options that outline the core minimum
capacity and capability needed to provide an effective regulator under NIS for Road,
Rail and Maritime. Regulation of aviation under NIS is out of scope of this project.
This work will need to:
- articulate the duties the regulator will need to fulfill, noting not only the changes
under the Cyber Security & Resilience (NIS) Bill, but the potential for changes to
designation thresholds that may increase the number of regulated operators or
bring future transport sub-sectors into scope.
- examine how other cyber regulators operate and are adapting to legislative
changes and consider the benefits of enforcement delivered through a range of
delivery partners. This may include expanding the remit of other existing
regulators to include cyber security as well as delivering some duties through
commercial partners (such as audits).
