The Appeal Panel is established today in accordance with Section 47 of the Ordinance, which provides for an independent appeal mechanism for operators of critical infrastructures who disagree with a designation of "operator of critical infrastructure" or "critical computer system", or a written direction with the designation issued by the Commissioner of Critical Infrastructure (Computer-system Security) or designated authorities, to lodge an appeal. An appeal board will be formed by members drawn from the panel to hear each appeal. The board may decide to affirm, reverse or vary a decision.
The Ordinance, which comes into force today, provides a comprehensive legal framework to safeguard the security of computer systems of critical infrastructures in Hong Kong, regulate operators of critical infrastructures and investigate and respond to relevant computer-system security threats and incidents.
