CYBERSECURITY
ICT Certification
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3143 establishes the circumstances, formats and procedures for notifications of conformity assessment bodies by national cybersecurity certification authorities pursuant to Article 61 of the Cybersecurity Act (Regulation (EU) 2019/881). The intent is to ease and harmonise the notification process. This will assist in the application of the first European Common Criteria-based cybersecurity certification scheme (EUCC) laid down by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/482.
Publication is awaited in the Official Journal of the EU of:
- a Regulation laying down measures to strengthen solidarity and capacities in the EU to detect, prepare for and respond to cybersecurity threats and incidents (Cyber Solidarity Act), and
- a Regulation amending the Cybersecurity Act as regards managed security services.
