Standardisation

ENISA, in an effort to achieve greater cybersecurity cohesion and harmonisation, supports the promotion of a single market for cybersecurity products and the securing of all elements of their supply chains.

The EU’s cybersecurity strategy underscores support for greater standardisation via the European standardisation organisations (CEN, CENELEC and ETSI) as well as ISO.

The benefits of EU-wide cybersecurity standards enhance the protection of ICT systems and infrastructures.

ENISA recognises that clear-cut, secure standardisation provides consistency and builds trust among manufacturers, developers and purchasers in the efficacy of digital communications and other products and services that have an impact on cybersecurity.

In the market arena, ENISA is looking to strengthen its outreach to European and other international economic actors on both the supply and demand sides. It is doing so in order to be able to continue proactively assessing market trends and good practices within the European cybersecurity marketplace.

• ENISA welcomes and proactively supports greater cybersecurity cohesion through standardisation and its associated organisations in Europe and internationally.
• ENISA keeps a watchful eye on developments in the marketplace on both the supply and demand side.
• Through the ad hoc working groups it convenes, ENISA assesses the European marketplace landscape for ways to enhance security.
