Recommendations for a Strategy on European Cyber Security Standardisation

The Cyber Security Coordination Group (CSCG) of CEN, CENELEC and ETSI is the only joint group of the three officially recognised European Standardisation Organisations with a mandate for coordinating Cyber Security standards within their organisations. The CSCG was created in late 2011 to provide strategic advice on standardisation in the field of IT security, Network and Information Security (NIS) and Cyber Security (CS). This White Paper is the CSCG’s response to the European Union’s Cyber Security Strategy, which was jointly issued by the European Commission and the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy on 7th February 2013. The CSCG’s Recommendations listed below underline the importance of Cyber Security standardisation for the completion of the European internal market (i.e. unlocking business potential by the use of harmonised Cyber Security standards) as well as for increasing the level of Cyber Security in Europe in general. Both objectives need to be addressed through seamless and interoperable Cyber Security mechanisms, embedded into a coherent governance framework.
