Malta CIP Directorate acts as the European CIP (ECIP) Contact Point on CIP
issues and is the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) on NIS issues communicating
and reporting on the above to the European Commission and to ENISA. In
addition, the CIPD, in close collaboration with public- and private-sector
critical infrastructure and critical information infrastructure stakeholders,
drives a coordinated national effort that oversees the development and
implementation of an effective critical information/infrastructure protection
for the country.
An equally fundamental role of the Malta CIP Directorate is the coordination
and support of general emergency preparedness plans capable of responding to
national emergencies. This role entails the coordination of emergency services,
namely the Civil Protection Department (CPD), Police Department, Armed Forces
of Malta (AFM), Pre-Hospital Health and other related stakeholders as may be
required by specific national emergencies.
