Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to analyse information security at the local government level in the light of new EU regulations (GDPR). Changes to the system of personal data protection involve the centralisation of selected aspects of processing and reporting inaccuracies to the central supervision authority. At the same time, local government units gain independence in choosing personal data security measures and methods of conducting risk assessment. New regulations pose a major challenge to local government units which must both apply adequate organisational and technical mechanisms in the fields of personal data protection and appropriately increase their employees’ qualifications regarding this matter.
