Price Controls Stifle Service Innovation

This provision mandates government-set flat rates for cyber hygiene certification services and requires certified providers to contribute 30% of revenue to the cybersecurity fund. This combination eliminates pricing flexibility, prevents service differentiation, and significantly reduces profitability—creating substantial barriers to market entry for startups and disincentives for investment in improved services. The Authority's dual role in both setting prices and collecting revenue creates a financial conflict of interest that undermines neutral regulation and market development.
