Amendment 18 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2
(2) Managed security services, which are services consisting of carrying out, or providing assistance for, activities relating to their customers’ cybersecurity risk management, including incident prevention, detection, responce or recovery, have gained increasing importance in the prevention and mitigation of cybersecurity incidents. Accordingly, the providers of those services are considered as essential or important entities belonging to a sector of high criticality pursuant to Directive (EU) 2022/2555 of the European Parliament and of the Council8 . Pursuant to Recital 86 of that Directive, managed security service providers in areas such as incident response, penetration testing, security audits and consultancy, play a particularly important role in assisting entities in their efforts to prevent, detect, respond to or recover from incidents. Managed security service providers have however also themselves been the target of cyberattacks and pose a particular risk because of their close integration in the operations of their customers. Essential and important entities within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2022/2555 should therefore exercise increased diligence in selecting a managed security service provider. __________________ 8 Directive (EU) 2022/2555 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2022 on measures for a high common level of cybersecurity across the Union, amending Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 and Directive (EU) 2018/1972, and repealing Directive (EU) 2016/1148 (NIS 2 Directive) (OJ L 333, 27.12.2022, p. 80).

Recital 4 a (new)
(4 a) European certification schemes for managed security services should facilitate the use of these services, particularly for smaller entities, including local and regional authorities or SMEs, which often do not have the financial and human capacity to conduct these services by themselves, but are vulnerable to cyber attacks with potentially significant consequences.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
(5) In addition to the deployment of ICT products, ICT services or ICT processes, managed security services often provide additional service features that rely on the competences, expertise and experience of their personnel. A very high level of these competences, expertise and experience as well as appropriate internal procedures should be part of the security objectives in order to ensure a very high quality and reliability of the managed security services provided. In order to ensure that all aspects of a managed security service can be covered by a certification scheme, it is therefore necessary to amend Regulation (EU) 2019/881. The European Data Protection Supervisor was consulted in accordance with Article 42(1) of Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council and delivered an opinion on [DD/MM/YYYY

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5 a (new)
(5 a) Given that the European cybersecurity schemes should certifiy that managed security services are provided by highly-skilled personnel that is able to reliably deliver these services and ensure the highest standards of cybersecurity, it is imperative that there is sufficient availability of highly-qualified personnel in the Union. Yet, the Union is faced with a talent gap, characterized by a shortage of skilled professionals, and a rapidly evolving threat landscape as acknowledged in the Commission communication of 18 April 2023 on the Cybersecurity Skills Academy. It is important to bridge this talent gap by strengthening cooperation and coordination among the different stakeholders, including the private sector, academia, Member States, the Commission and ENISA to scale up and create synergies for the investment in education and training, the development of public-private partnerships, support of research and innovation initiatives, the development and mutual recognition of common standards and certification of cybersecurity skills, including through the European Cyber Security Skills Framework. This should also facilitate the mobility of cybersecurity professionals within the Union.
