Amended National Cybersecurity System Act takes effect in 2026

Digital Resilience Strategy 2026

2026 marks a turning point for Polish businesses. Three critical vectors converge: legislative pressure (NIS2, DORA), threat escalation (Poland #1 in ransomware attacks), and an investment window (billions from the National Recovery Plan).

This e-book is not a theoretical lecture. It is an operational manual that guides you from diagnosis (Gap Analysis), through funding selection, to implementing procedures compliant with legal requirements.

NIS2/KSC: full enforcement H1 2026
DORA: in effect since January 2025
KPO Municipality: completion by 30.06.2026

Cybersecurity in 2026 is not a matter of technology, but of operational risk management. Our goal is to take that risk off the Board's shoulders.

Why is "do it yourself" a dead end?

Building Your Own SOC 24/7

  • Team cost (10-12 FTEs): ~PLN 2.0M/year
  • Technology and licenses (SIEM, SOAR, EDR): ~PLN 0.8M
  • Maintenance, training, retention: ~PLN 0.6M
  • TOTAL: ~PLN 3.4M in the first year

Plus: lack of specialists on the market, risk of turnover, need for continuous competency development.

Managed SOC (nFlo InfraGuardian)

  • Cost: 30-50% of building your own SOC
  • Transfer of turnover and maintenance risk to the provider
  • Ready, operational system from day 1
  • Enterprise-class IBM technology

Plus: eligible for KPO funding covering up to 100% of qualified costs.

In the e-book, you will find a full cost calculation and arguments for a conversation with your CFO.

What Will You Find in the E-book?

10 chapters of practical knowledge. Each concludes with concrete takeaways and recommendations.

1

The Calm Before the "Legislative Storm"

NIS2, DORA, and the amended National Cybersecurity System Act come into force. The time for deliberation is over — once the law takes effect, transition periods will prove unrealistic for the unprepared.

2

Report from the Front — Poland Under Attack

Poland ranked 1st in the world for ransomware attacks in the first half of 2025. Energy, manufacturing, finance — which sectors are most at risk and why.

3

The Economics of Defense — Build or Buy?

An in-house SOC 24/7 costs PLN 3.4 million per year and 12 full-time positions. A Managed SOC reduces costs by 50-70%. Hard numbers and calculations for your organization.

4

A Shield Funded by the State

Billions from the National Recovery Plan (KPO) for cybersecurity: Cyber-Safe Municipality (up to PLN 850K), Cyber-Safe Water Utility (up to PLN 1.3M), Cyber-Safe Government (up to PLN 10M).
