Under Part 3 of TICSA, section 48 requires a network operator to notify the Director of the GCSB of proposed procurement of equipment, systems or services in an area of specified security interest, or changes to their architecture or ownership. Notice must come early enough for the Director to consider action under section 51. The NCSC says operators must also engage with it as soon as practicable after identifying a possible network security risk. |
