Obligations of critical entities

 

A critical entity must appoint or employ a person responsible for resilience (resilience manager) within 90 days designation. The entity is obliged to provide the contact details of this person to the National Directorate General for Disaster Management of the Ministry of Interior (BM OKF).

Within the deadline specified in the designation decision, the critical entity must prepare a resilience plan by completing the template defined and published on the website by the general designating authority, which must include the resilience matrix. The critical entity must submit the document electronically to the general designating authority (BM OKF) within the specified deadline. The general designating authority shall decide on the acceptance, supplementation, modification, or rejection of the resilience plan and resilience matrix prepared by the critical entity based on an assessment of the content and formal requirements.

The National Directorate General for Disaster Management (BM OKF) as a supervisory authority shall regularly, periodically, and ad hoc carry out comprehensive official inspections of critical entities, involving sectoral specialist authorities as necessary. The critical entities and the person responsible for resilience must be present during such inspections.
