The pattern behind it
3 of 4
Three of the last four British digital and network-security laws applied to nobody on the day they were made. The Telecommunications (Security) Act 2021 needed commencement regulations in 2022, the Online Safety Act 2023 was phased in through Ofcom codes rather than switched on at once, and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 was still being commenced by a sixth instrument in 2026. The exception is the Network and Information Systems Regulations 2018, which came into force on a date written into the instrument itself and remain the operative regime. The full record is the same four cases, 2018 to 2026.
Three of the last four UK digital laws applied to no one at first. We looked at the last four UK laws on network security, online services and data, and asked when their duties first applied to anyone. Three passed and then waited for further rules before any duty began. Only the 2018 regulations, which the current Bill updates, started on a date written into them.
