In January 2023, the Riigikogu adopted the Foreign Investment Reliability Assessment Act (FIRAA), on the basis of which the state will start assessing the reliability of certain foreign investments made from non-EU countries to Estonia, to ensure the security and public order of Estonia and other Member States of the EU. The Act will enter into force only on 1 September 2023, however it is important for the undertakings already now, when planning to involve investments from outside the EU.

Therefore, the qualitative requirements for ICT risk mitigation are becoming more and more important.
