• the assessment of the state of security will take into account the specifics of facility functioning;
• based on monitoring results, a certificate will be drawn up, indicating one of three assessments of security provision: “provides”, “limitedly provides”, “does not provide”;
• suggestions on improving the protection system of the facility will be provided;
• the critical infrastructure operator (legal entity or private entrepreneur managing the facility) will receive an inspection certificate and is obliged to take measures to eliminate the deficiencies and violations identified.
