Sophia Antipolis, 7 February 2018

In September 2017, the European Commission published a proposal for a Regulation of the EP and the Council on "ENISA, the "EU Cybersecurity Agency", and repealing Regulation (EU) 526/2013, and on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) cybersecurity certification ("Cybersecurity Act")".

ETSI welcomes the overall objective of the proposed Regulation to “ increase EU resilience, enhance its cybersecurity preparedness and avoid fragmentation of certification schemes in the EU ”.

This pdf position paper highlights some points that ETSI believes should be further elaborated and clarified in the proposed Regulation, namely:

  1. Standards for certification: clarify concepts and definitions
  2. Use the New Legislative Framework as a toolbox
  3. Rethink the three levels of security with a risk management approach and rethink the way objectives are described
  4. Ensure applicability and consistency with existing regimes
  5. Specify governance and processes
