Alert Safe Company No. 9/2021

We present the new edition of our “Secure Company” alert, containing information on anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism as well as cyber security and personal data protection.

In this edition, we would like to draw your attention to two issues related to further provisions of the amended Act on counteracting money laundering and combating terrorism, which are now coming into force. The first issue is extension of the list of entities carrying out so-called regulated activity to include business operators servicing companies and trusts. The other change involves the Central Register of Beneficial Owners (CRBR).

We would also like to draw your attention to issues related to so-called GDPR II, i.e. the EU regulation on privacy and electronic communications, which, due to its scope, will apply to virtually all companies conducting business using the Internet.

With the rising tide of spyware attacks on phones, we would also like remind you of the cyber security issues surrounding the use of company phones.

We hope that the next batch of information on planned changes in AML regulations and on GDPR and cyber security will prove useful and facilitate smooth navigation through regulations and legislative trends, on the grounds of both Polish and EU law.
