Regulations for Public Administration
Public administration, as an operator of critical infrastructure and processor of large volumes of citizens’ personal data, is particularly heavily regulated.
Why Is Public Administration Especially Affected?
- Critical infrastructure: Government agencies and public institutions fall under NIS2 as essential entities
- Data protection: Extensive processing of citizens’ data requires the strictest GDPR compliance
- AI regulation: AI systems in public administration (e.g. automated decisions, risk assessments) fall under the AI Act
- Whistleblowing: Public bodies are subject to the HinSchG regardless of size
