The State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection (SSSCIP) is introducing a new methodology of state control over compliance with cybersecurity law. SSSCIP Administration Order No. 604 approved the document, and it is already in force.

The methodology standardizes inspection procedures and sets a transparent risk-based approach. It applies to state information systems and critical infrastructure facilities.

Key changes in the state control procedure

  • A unified approach. Inspectors follow a clear checklist and record the results in a single act form.
  • Assessment of 6 cyber defense functions. Inspectors analyze the real state of the “govern”, “identify”, “protect”, “detect”, “respond” and “recover” functions under Order No. 285.
  • The critical link principle. You cannot get a positive act if even one basic area shows less than 20% compliance.

Who needs to prepare for inspections

The methodology covers state authorities, local governments, military formations and companies whose systems process state information resources or restricted information. In addition, operators of critical infrastructure facilities form a separate category.

State control takes the form of supervision and planned and unplanned inspections. Based on the results, inspectors give recommendations or orders. Moreover, violations they find can lead to administrative liability.

State control without stress: prepare with S-byte experts

The new methodology means that inspections will follow a strict technical algorithm. So S-byte helps organizations prepare their IT infrastructure in advance and pass state supervision successfully:

  1. Pre-inspection security audit. We take a snapshot of the system against the unified SSSCIP act and find bottlenecks before the inspectors arrive.
  2. ISS adaptation and authorization. We bring the documents and technical base of your information security system in line with Law No. 4336-IX.
  3. A lawful technology stack. We provide valid TPI expert opinions for Cisco network equipment and RSA Security access management platforms.
  4. Closing critical gaps. We help raise the scores in the risk zone (below 20%) so that you avoid the status of a critical security state.

Do not wait for the first inspection. Contact S-byte, and we will prepare your organization for state control in advance.
