  The Military Programming Law adopted on 19 December 2013 stepped up ANSSI’s functions. Article 22 of the law provided for the adoption of measures to increase the security of operators of vital importance, granting new prerogatives to ANSSI on behalf of the Prime Minister that enable it to enforce security and control measures for the most critical network and information systems of operators of vital importance. Furthermore, Article 22 makes it mandatory for operators of vital importance to report incidents detected on these systems.

  The coordinating body for CIP in France is the General Secretariat for Defence and National Security (SGDSN). The SGDNS is an inter-ministerial organisation and is under the authority of the Prime Minister of France. ANSSI is an inter-ministerial agency under strategic guidance of SGDSN’s Strategic Committee. These are the main two agencies for CIP and CIIP and there are no other formal forms of cooperation with other public agencies. ANSSI cooperates with the private sector in 18 different working groups on matters such as the identification of systems of vital importance, definition of relevant sectorial technical rules and measures or the definition of processes (e.g. incident notification).
