The Polish Financial Supervision Authority in the national cybersecurity system

The Polish Financial Supervision Authority is the authority competent for cybersecurity for the banking sector and financial market infrastructure. It is the only cybersecurity authority that does not have the status of a minister managing a government administration department as well as being the only authority competent for cybersecurity outside the structure of the government administration and not operating within the legal personality of the State Treasury. Only some entities supervised by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority under the regulations on supervision over the financial market are subject to its supervision as the authority competent for cybersecurity. Regulatory differences lead to the necessity to apply different rules when the Polish Financial Supervision Authority carries out controls under the regulations on financial market supervision and controls under the National Cybersecurity System Act.
