Quote

The most adequate regulatory measure at the NSD concerns the disclosure by companies of information about incidents that have occurred. It is not worth regulating the storage of information or the organization of access to it, the enterprise, as an economic agent, must decide this on its own. The company must assess the risks it has and take appropriate risk measures. But this is a measure to stimulate the process. When you are forced from under the stick to do certain things, it reduces the desire of companies to do it correctly and efficiently. Basically, measures are taken "for show." And for a real effective solution to the problem, it is important to understand its presence and solve it. The most adequate measure is to disclose information on incidents that have occurred. Such a law exists in some countries. There, companies that undergo annual audits or are listed on the stock exchange are required to disclose information security incidents that they have. This stimulates measures against such incidents, and what happened - to analyze and look for solutions.
