cyber security experts from public and private
sectors, both at local and national level.
Indicator of success: an operational platform.
d) Setting up of an inter-ministerial working group at technical level which would gather cyber
security experts and create capacity to defend
against cyber attacks.
Indicator of success: the formed inter-ministerial working group.
e) Inter-ministerial working group will organise
simulations and exercises aimed at efficiency,
coordination and communication.
Indicator of success: the number of organised exercises at annual level, duration of
exercises as well as the number of covered
situations.
f) Drafting of a rulebook and procedures for exchange of information on cyber incidents, the
manner of communication in the event of cyber
attacks, and the manner of assistance and cooperation among state authorities.
Indikcator of success: a defined rulebook

5. Data protection
The Law on Data Confidentiality acknowledges
the principle of marking information with a certain level of classification and the way of dealing
with these data, from those marked with the
lowest level of classification whose disclosure
would make harmful consequences for functioning of the body, to those with the highest level
of classification whose disclosure would endanger or cause irreparable harmful consequences
for security and interests of Montenegro. As a
result of computerisation of business processes, these data are created, processed and kept
electronically, and due to the need for efficient
exchange of information, they are all the more
transferred through cyberspace. With a view to
providing adequate protection and raising the
level of culture of handling classified and sensitive information electronically, it is necessary to
strengthen the national capacities needed for the
implementation of the legally prescribed security
accreditation of communication and information
systems and processes where classified data
are marked as CONFIDENTIAL and SECRET,
and also provide a proper management system
for security of information in the systems where
data marked as INTERNAL are used12, as well as
in the systems where unclassified sensitive data
are handled. Also, it is necessary to plan national
capacities in the long run with the aim of developing domestic cryptographic solutions.
PLAN OF ACTION AND INDICATORS:
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE:
For the purpose of providing an adequate protection of the important part of information infrastructure, the Government of Montenegro
will strengthen the national capacities necessary for security accreditation of communication and information systems and the processes where classified information is used,
as well as the capacities in the field of crypto
protection.
a) In March 2017, a set of legal regulations was
adopted necessary for implementing certification of communication and information systems
and processes where secret data of higher classification are used. It has been recognised that
there is a room for improvement of this set of
regulations, particularly in the part of certification
of “standalone” machines and inter-connection
Law on Data Confidentiality (Official Gazette of Montenegro, No 14/13 of 15 March 2013) and the Decree on detailed conditions and manner of implementing
measures of classified information protection (Official Gazette of Montenegro, No 57/10 of 1 October 2010)
