Last updated — August 22, 2026

The local regulatory framework

Italy's cybersecurity framework is overseen by the Agenzia per la Cybersicurezza Nazionale (ACN), the national reference authority responsible for strategic coordination, support to public and private entities, and oversight of the NIS2 transposition. The NIS2 directive substantially broadens the scope of essential and important entities subject to risk management, governance and incident notification obligations. GDPR also governs any processing of personal data within Italian territory.
