The scope is determined by two conditions taken together: the type of activity must be among those listed in Annex I or Annex II, and the size of the enterprise must reach the set threshold. Either condition on its own is not sufficient.
Next, it is determined whether the entity is essential or important. Essential entities are from the Annex I sectors and exceed the upper threshold for a medium-sized enterprise. Entities from Annex I or II that do not meet the criteria for essential are considered important (Art. 4a(2)).
The competent authorities determine the essential and important entities under a methodology adopted by the Council of Ministers, and notify the Minister of Electronic Governance. The organisation's own assessment is therefore the start of the process, not its final decision.
