Summary:

Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2023/2841 - adopted by the co-legislators on 13 December 2023 - laying down measures for a high common level of cybersecurity at the institutions, bodies, offices and agencies of the European Union (EU).

Further information:

This proposal establishes a framework for ensuring common cybersecurity rules and measures among the EU institutions, bodies and agencies. It aims at further improving all entities’ resilience and incident response capacities. It modernises the existing CERT-EU legal framework and takes account of the changed and increased digitisation of the institutions, bodies and agencies over the years as well as the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape. It renames CERT-EU from Computer Emergency Response Team  to Cybersecurity Centre for the Union institutions, bodies and agencies, in line with similar developments in the Member States and globally, but it retains the acronym.

The draft law was adopted by the European Commission on 22 March 2022, and it built on the EU Security Union Strategy and the EU's Cybersecurity Strategy for the Digital Decade. The Council of the European Union adopted its general approach on 18 November. The plenary of the European Parliament endorsed a negotiating position on 15 March 2023. An informal agreement between the co-legislators on a compromise text for this file was reached on 26 June. This was formally endorsed by the Parliament on 22 November and by the Council on 8 December. The Act was signed by the co-legislators on 13 December 2023 and published in the Official Journal on 18 December 2023.

This Cybersecurity Regulation entered into force on 7 January 2024.
