On 19 November 2025, the European Commission published two proposed regulations as part of its Digital Package on Simplification: the Digital Omnibus and the Digital Omnibus on AI. These Proposals introduce wide-ranging amendments to existing EU digital and data protection and privacy laws to simplify and streamline compliance obligations for companies operating in the EU or targeting the EU market. The Proposals focus on five main areas:

The Digital Omnibus

  • Cybersecurity incident reporting (the Network and Information Systems 2 Directive (NIS2) and other key cybersecurity laws)
  • Data protection (GDPR)
  • E-privacy (ePrivacy Directive and updated GDPR)
  • Data use and governance (Data Act and a suite of related data governance laws)
