Národní úřad pro kybernetickou a informační bezpečnost

What Národní úřad pro kybernetickou a informační bezpečnost does

Národní úřad pro kybernetickou a informační bezpečnost (NÚKIB) is the central administrative authority of the Czech Republic responsible for cybersecurity and information security, headquartered in Brno with 208 employees. Established in 2017 and operating under the new Cybersecurity Act (ZKB No. 264/2025 Coll.), NÚKIB serves as the national CERT/CSIRT authority, the Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS) coordinator for the Czech Republic, and the national accreditation authority for professional cybersecurity qualifications. Its core operational platforms include GovCERT.CZ (Government Computer Emergency Response Team), the National CERT, the mandatory Portál NÚKIB for regulated entity communication and incident reporting, and supporting systems for cryptographic certification and TEMPEST electromagnetic security.

NÚKIB serves a mandatory user base of over 4,800 regulated entities under the Cybersecurity Act, spanning operators of essential services in energy, transport, banking, healthcare, water management, digital infrastructure, and public administration. The agency delivers regulatory oversight, incident response coordination, monthly incident reporting and quarterly threat overviews, public cybersecurity education (E-akademie, Safe Internet Festival), and national cybersecurity R&D funding through the National Coordination Centre (NKC). It is highly active internationally, with bilateral partnerships spanning Spain, Italy, USA, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, Norway, Estonia, Canada, Lithuania, Slovakia, Albania, and Bhutan, alongside multilateral engagement in NATO, EU, and ENISA programs.

NÚKIB is funded through the Czech state budget and does not generate commercial revenue. Its go-to-market is not sales-led but rather mandate-led: regulated entities are legally required to register services and report incidents through the Portál NÚKIB. The agency's recent strategic emphasis has been on operationalizing the new Cybersecurity Act, expanding international cooperation in NIS2 transposition, and building out educational and R&D infrastructure.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI): Germany's federal cybersecurity authority; performs the same national regulatory, incident response (CERT-Bund), and critical infrastructure protection functions as NÚKIB and is the closest functional analog in scale and mandate within the EU.
• Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information (ANSSI): France's national cybersecurity authority; operates ANSSI-Presse and a national incident response capability analogous to GovCERT.CZ, with similar regulatory mandate over operators of essential services under NIS/NIS2.
• National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC UK): UK's national technical authority for cyber incidents; comparable mission around incident response, threat intelligence publication, and guidance to regulated entities, and a peer reference for NÚKIB's CERT and portal functions.
• Centro Criptológico Nacional (CCN) / CCN-CERT: Spain's national cryptologic centre and government CERT; NÚKIB holds an active cooperation memorandum with CCN-CERT on incident resolution and is functionally equivalent in its government-focused mandate.
• Instituto Nacional de Ciberseguridad (INCIBE): Spain's national institute for cybersecurity, focused on the private sector and citizens; directly comparable to NÚKIB's role in incident response for non-government entities and a recent bilateral cooperation partner.

Broad incumbents

• Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA): US federal lead for critical infrastructure cybersecurity and the partner counterpart in NÚKIB's joint advisories with NSA/FBI; broader scope than NÚKIB but the benchmark for advanced national cyber authorities.
• ENISA (European Union Agency for Cybersecurity): EU-level cybersecurity agency that NÚKIB cooperates with on certification schemes, NIS2 transposition, and threat intelligence; a supra-national peer shaping the framework NÚKIB implements.

Regional players

• Národný bezpečnostný úrad (NBU Slovakia): Slovakia's National Security Authority; bilateral cooperation partner of NÚKIB and a regional peer implementing NIS2 in a closely related jurisdiction and Central European context.
• Estonian Information System Authority (RIA): Estonia's central cyber authority; Director Lukáš Kintr visited Estonia for bilateral cooperation and RIA is widely recognized as a model national cyber authority for digital-first governments, comparable in size and ambition.
• Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM): Norway's national cybersecurity and information security authority; comparable mandate over critical infrastructure protection, incident response coordination, and classified information protection, and an active international cooperation peer.
