Action description

Governments around the world are responding to the issue of cybercrime and within the European Union, the EU Cybersecurity Act came into force in June 2019. Cybersecurity Certification Schemes are in development for different categories of ICT products, services, and processes and it is probable that schemes will be mandated for certain cyber products and services before the end of 2023. According to the new rules, product and service vendors in the EU will be required to certify their services a single time before placing on the European market.

At a national member state level, it will be necessary to designate or establish entities to meet obligations under the Act; namely Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) to carry out investigations in the form of audits etc., and a National Cybersecurity Certification Authority (NCCA) to supervise and enforce rules of European cybersecurity certification schemes. There is a third role envisaged for national accreditation bodies as providing accreditation and oversight to CABs and testing laboratories.

In 2020, the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI) were successful in securing funding under Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Telecom Work Programme in order to develop capabilities as a CAB under the EU Cybersecurity Act. The project entitled “Advancing Cybersecurity Certification Capabilities with Cross-border exchange and Enhancing (business) Flows” (A4CEF) will run for a two-year period and will enhance NSAI’s capabilities in respect of provision of new cybersecurity service offerings including certification of cloud products and services.

This presentation will provide an overview of the future national and EU Cybersecurity certification framework and of the activities planned in A4CEF. This initiative highlights an opportunity for NSAI and Ireland to develop its capabilities in the context of Cybersecurity and move into a rapidly growing technology area and keep Ireland relevant in the future term as a leading ICT player in Europe.

Having a strong cyber security accreditation and certification infrastructure would be strategically important for Ireland, and for the EU particularly given the large number of cloud data centres in Ireland that are used by many EU businesses and citizens. However, it is important that an appropriate model is established for Ireland, and one that would help build national capabilities and capacity in a key area of cyber infrastructure.

Benefits of participation include;

Learn about future obligations with regards to the Cybersecurity Act

Identify potential security gaps in existing products and services

Inform the development of future products and services’ portfolio in line with future regulation

Keep up with your competitors and ensure your cloud service/product offering is not excluded from market due to inadequate certification.
