Since February last year, norms in Russia entered into force and forced hosting providers to inform Roskomnadzor (RKN) activities and to confirm the possibility of safe data storage. This has led to the creation of a state registration of such companies, and those who are not listed in this list cannot provide hosting services. In addition, states and municipal organizations should only use providers from this registry.
Gorelkin said that despite the new requirements, companies remain in the market that continues to ignore the law. The draft law proposes to punish such companies: individuals – 100 thousand rubles, individual entrepreneurs – up to 500 thousand and up to legal entrepreneurs – 1 million rubles. In addition, they will be fined by the State Information Systems Operator, which continues to work with illegal hostors.
Gorelkin stressed that ordinary hosting services will not be fined, but according to him, they should consider transferring their data to the servers of reliable Russian companies.
