3.1 Finnish legislation will incorporate both competitive and forward-looking provisions from the perspective of digital business National legislation will establish suitable conditions for business activities to be as competitive as possible. Finland will be an attractive location for investment based on processing and utilising data. For companies seeking to utilise digital opportunities, Finland will stand out as a reliable location for establishing a business. MEASURES:  In connection with preparing and streamlining legislation on the digital environment, especially data processing and information security, the impact of these statutes on information security and businesses will be assessed.1  The NIS Directive will be implemented, securing companies’ capabilities of including in their risk management programmes the new information security obligations required. To ensure this, a working group to assist in the implementation will be established to assess the adequacy of existing national legislation in each sector within the scope of the directive.2  Every effort will be made in amending national legislation as required by the EU’s Data Protection Regulation, to avoid incorporating any additional burden that could adversely affect the competitiveness of businesses.3  Attention will be given to ensuring that development of the EU legislation concerning the responsibilities of electronic communications service providers is technology and operator neutral (obligation to respect privacy and information security when conveying messages).4  In cyber security development work, all means will be used to promote and protect user rights, such as the rights to privacy and confidentiality of communication, in electronic services and the online environment.5 1 Responsibility: all ministries Responsibility: Ministry of Transport and Communications, Ministry of Employment and the Economy, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, Ministry of the Environment 3 Responsibility: Ministry of Justice and other ministries 4 Responsibility: Ministry of Transport and Communications 5 Responsibility: Ministry of Defence, Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Transport and Communications, Ministry of Finance 2 7
