Abstract(in English) In December 2021, the UK passed the Telecommunications (Security) Act 2021. This act requires telecom operators to take certain security measures. This includes the elimination of high-risk vendors, typically Huawei of chinese vendor. However, what is unique about this law from the perspective of information security law is that the telecom authorities have the power to investigate and fine violations of these obligations. In the past, a voluntary "baseline approach" was often taken for information security, but the new law mandates certain information security measures with sanctions. Such a phenomenon, which can be called a "shift from the baseline approach," has recently occurred also outside the UK, but this law seems to be the strongest one. Therefore, this essay researches this law and provides materials for the discussion toward the mandatory information security.
