In particular, the PPC noted that the MoCs aim to facilitate cooperation on cybersecurity incidents, including unauthorised access to personal data. Furthermore, the PPC explained that the MoCs also detail the roles and relationship between the ministries and agencies, namely how they should cooperate in the event of an incident and during peace times.
