Spain. The Privacy, Data Protection and Cybersecurity Law Review


Cybersecurity and data protection are becoming essential values for society and, consequently, both areas have undergone significant legal development in recent years. In particular, a new law on cybersecurity and a new national data protection law were passed in the second half of 2018. Both laws are based on and mirror the corresponding EU Security of Network and Information Systems Directive (the NIS Directive) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Nevertheless, data protection and privacy rules are more consolidated in the EU and Spain than cybersecurity regulations, which are currently being developed.
