On the broader matter of Departmental compliance with the GDPR, I can state that the Department continues to be actively engaged in meeting the wide range of obligations that the Regulation imposes on data controllers.

Responsibility for implementation of NIS (EU Network and Information Security directive) in Ireland lies with CSIRT-IE, in Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment. DCEDIY is a member of the CSIRT network.

ICT services within the Department are provided and managed by the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) and operate to agreed standards including the principle of least privilege.
