EDPB and EDPS adopt opinion on proposed cybersecurity update
19/03/2026 | EDPB
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) have adopted a joint opinion on the European Commission’s proposals to update the Cybersecurity Act and amendments to the NIS2 Directive. While the EDPB and EDPS welcome many of the proposals, they note that the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) should include the EDPS as a potential requester of advice, and consult the EDPB before adopting a certification scheme relating to the security of processing of personal data.
In addition, the regulators support creating a single point for notifying personal data breaches to reduce administrative burdens. They also suggest that the European Cybersecurity Skills Framework should be expanded to include the general workforce.
