Publications of the Prime Minister’s Office 2024:13 Resources may be applied more efficiently through agile cooperative sharing of competence and resources between public authorities, for example by enabling public authorities to agree on the discharge of cybersecurity functions on behalf of another authority where this is deemed appropriate. Decisions on resources and their allocation and coordination are made through the decision-making processes of the state budget, with resources allocated within a framework of appropriations and person-years according to general government fiscal plans and budgets. 6.2 Strategy implementation and monitoring The EU cybersecurity directive (NIS2) and its national implementation require reassessment of the need to update the national cybersecurity strategy at fiveyearly intervals. The strategy will be developed and updated more frequently as required. Updates will be made in collaboration with public authorities, businesses, research institutions, associations and individual members of the public. Implementation of the strategy will be monitored nationally on an annual basis. Responsibility for coordinating monitoring is vested in the Office of the National Cyber Security Director, for which administrative branches produce cybersecurity implementation reports within their respective purviews according to the schedule of the general government fiscal planning process. The Office then prepares a digest of these reports for public authorities and political decision-makers. After the cybersecurity strategy revision has been completed, the working group appointed to revise the strategy will continue its work as a strategy implementation monitoring group. This monitoring group will prepare a strategy implementation plan within six months of completing the strategy. The implementation plan will specify the implementation responsibilities and schedule for each administrative branch and detail the metrics used annually for monitoring and assessing implementation. The implementation plan will be approved by a steering group comprising the state secretaries of the government security management operating model development project. Strategy monitoring will be reported to this steering group and to the ministerial working group on reforming society. The ministerial working group on internal security and administration of justice and the Security Committee will also be informed of progress concerning the implementation plan. 43
