About the consultation

This consultation seeks your views on planned changes to the Cyber Emergency Response Team for Jersey (CERT.JE). This proposes new legislation to ensure that Jersey can effectively prepare for, defend against and respond to cyber attacks.

The proposed changes include:

  • changing the Cyber Emergency Response Team’s name to The Cyber Security Centre for Jersey to better reflect its role and responsibilities.
  • moving it from operating on an interim basis within the Department for the Economy, and funded as part of the Government Plan, to being an independent grant funded advisory and emergency response body to operate at arm’s length from regulators, law enforcement and Government.
  • providing a clear legal basis for its activities and to ensure access to the right information at the right time.
  • providing for Operators of Essential Services to notify cyber security incidents within 48 hours
