Nicosia, Cyprus. The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) highlighted an invitation for Cypriot small and medium-sized enterprises to take part in a questionnaire on the use of artificial intelligence. The questionnaire was issued by the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection and is addressed to supervised entities operating in Cyprus.
Questionnaire issued under EU co-funded project
CySEC said the initiative is implemented within the framework of the EU co-funded Data ProTech project, which forms part of the CERV Programme. The regulator said the project aims to strengthen SME compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the Artificial Intelligence Regulation (EU) 2024/1689.
Response deadline set for February 2026
CySEC said the deadline for submitting responses to the questionnaire is Wednesday, 4 February 2026.
Implementation partners and planned support tools
The Data ProTech project is implemented by the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection in cooperation with the University of Limassol and the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry. CySEC said the project seeks to respond to the real operational needs of SMEs by combining regulatory compliance with practical support.
Within this framework, an electronic compliance assessment tool will be developed to allow SMEs to carry out self-evaluations of their compliance with GDPR and the AI Act. The project also includes the creation of training and informational material tailored to the specific challenges faced by small and medium-sized businesses. CySEC said a series of educational and training activities will be organised to support businesses in implementing compliant AI systems.
Will your business submit a response to the AI questionnaire by February 4, 2026?
