My Department manages its third-party supply chain using a risk-based approach. Each procurement contract includes information security measures, including cyber security, relevant to our risk appetite and the type of information handled.

My Department has commenced preparatory work to comply with the NIS2 Directive, which is expected to be incorporated into Irish law later this year. This will further address third-party risk management processes.
