INVESTIGAȚIE Directoratul Național de Nesecuritate Cibernetică

The National Cyber Security Directorate (DNSC) in Romania has failed to conduct security checks on numerous critical institutions, including hospitals and the National Cadastre Agency, despite the ongoing cyber threats from countries like Russia and China. Over 50 institutions reported that they had not been inspected by DNSC since its establishment in 2021. The agency's director, Dan Cîmpean, cited staffing shortages and bureaucratic challenges as reasons for the lack of oversight. Additionally, many institutions are not legally required to implement security measures, complicating DNSC's ability to enforce compliance. The agency has also faced criticism for hiring personnel with questionable backgrounds in cybersecurity.
