On an unspecified date, Slovakia's National Security Office (Národný bezpečnostný úrad — NBÚ) launched a public consultation on a draft law concerning cybersecurity resilience for products with digital elements. The proposed legislation aims to implement Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 of the European Parliament and of the Council, adopted on October 23, 2024, commonly known as the Cyber Resilience Act, into Slovak law. The Cyber Resilience Act introduces horizontal cybersecurity requirements applicable to a broad range of products with digital elements. Certain categories are exempt, including specific open-source products and sectors already subject to dedicated regulation, such as medical devices, aviation, and the automotive industry. The draft law establishes the NBÚ's role as the market surveillance authority for products with digital elements and defines the rights and obligations of economic operators. It also outlines market surveillance procedures conducted by inspectors and establishes enforcement sanctions. Slovakia has already implemented certain provisions of the regulation through Law No. 318/2025, which designated the NBÚ as the market surveillance authority and appointed the Office for Standardization, Metrology and Testing of the Slovak Republic as the notifying body for the regulation. The public consultation period runs until June 26, 2026. Stakeholders and interested parties are invited to submit comments during this timeframe to inform the final version of the legislation.
