Article 2
Scope
1. This Regulation applies to Union_entities, to the Interinstitutional Cybersecurity Board established pursuant to Article 10 and to CERT-EU.
2. This Regulation applies without prejudice to the institutional autonomy pursuant to the Treaties.
3. With the exception of Article 13(8), this Regulation does not apply to network_and_information_systems handling EU classified information (EUCI).
Article 10
Interinstitutional Cybersecurity Board
1. An Interinstitutional Cybersecurity Board (IICB) is hereby established.
2. The IICB shall be responsible for:
| (a) | monitoring and supporting the implementation of this Regulation by the Union_entities; |
| (b) | supervising the implementation of general priorities and objectives by CERT-EU and providing strategic direction to CERT-EU. |
3. The IICB shall consist of:
| (a) | one representative designated by each of the following:
|
| (b) | three representatives designated by the EU Agencies Network (EUAN) on the basis of a proposal by its ICT Advisory Committee to represent the interests of the bodies, offices and agencies of the Union that run their own ICT environment, other than those referred to in point (a). |
The Union_entities represented on the IICB shall aim to achieve gender balance among the designated representatives.
4. Members of the IICB may be assisted by an alternate. Other representatives of the Union_entities referred to in paragraph 3 or of other Union_entities may be invited by the Chair to attend IICB meetings without voting power.
5. The Head of CERT-EU and the Chairs of the Cooperation Group, the CSIRTs network and EU-CyCLONe established, respectively, pursuant to Articles 14, 15 and 16 of Directive (EU) 2022/2555, or their alternates, may participate in IICB meetings as observers. In exceptional cases, the IICB may, in accordance with its internal rules of procedure, decide otherwise.
6. The IICB shall adopt its internal rules of procedure.
7. The IICB shall designate a Chair in accordance with its internal rules of procedure, from among its members for a period of three years. The Chair’s alternate shall become a full member of the IICB for the same duration.
8. The IICB shall meet at least three times a year at the initiative of its Chair, at the request of CERT-EU or at the request of any of its members.
9. Each member of the IICB shall have one vote. The IICB’s decisions shall be taken by simple majority except where otherwise provided for in this Regulation. The Chair of the IICB shall not have a vote except in the event of a tied vote, in which case the Chair may cast a deciding vote.
10. The IICB may act by means of a simplified written procedure initiated in accordance with its internal rules of procedure. Under that procedure, the relevant decision shall be deemed to be approved within the timeframe set by the Chair, except where a member objects.
11. The secretariat of the IICB shall be provided by the Commission and shall be accountable to the Chair of the IICB.
12. The representatives nominated by the EUAN shall relay the IICB’s decisions to the members of the EUAN. Any member of the EUAN shall be entitled to raise with those representatives or the Chair of the IICB any matter which it considers should be brought to the IICB’s attention.
13. The IICB may establish an executive committee to assist it in its work, and delegate some of its tasks and powers to it. The IICB shall lay down the rules of procedure of the executive committee, including its tasks and powers, and the terms of office of its members.
14. By 8 January 2025 and on an annual basis thereafter, the IICB shall submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council detailing progress made with the implementation of this Regulation and specifying in particular the extent of cooperation of CERT-EU with Member State counterparts in each of the Member States. The report shall constitute an input to the biennial report on the state of cybersecurity in the Union adopted pursuant to Article 18 of Directive (EU) 2022/2555.
Article 13
CERT-EU mission and tasks
1. CERT-EU’s mission shall be to contribute to the security of the unclassified ICT environment of Union_entities by advising them on cybersecurity, by helping them to prevent, detect, handle, mitigate, respond to and recover from incidents and by acting as their cybersecurity information exchange and incident response coordination hub.
2. CERT-EU shall collect, manage, analyse and share information with the Union_entities on cyber_threats, vulnerabilities and incidents in unclassified ICT infrastructure. It shall coordinate responses to incidents at interinstitutional and Union entity level, including by providing or coordinating the provision of specialised operational assistance.
3. CERT-EU shall carry out the following tasks to assist the Union_entities:
| (a) | support them with the implementation of this Regulation and contribute to the coordination of the implementation of this Regulation through the measures listed in Article 14(1) or through ad-hoc reports requested by the IICB; |
| (b) | offer standard CSIRT services for Union_entities by means of a package of cybersecurity services described in its service catalogue (baseline services); |
| (c) | maintain a network of peers and partners to support the services as outlined in Articles 17 and 18; |
| (d) | bring to the attention of the IICB any problems relating to the implementation of this Regulation and the implementation of guidelines, recommendations and calls for action; |
| (e) | on the basis of the information referred to in paragraph 2, contribute to the Union cyber situational awareness in close cooperation with ENISA; |
| (f) | coordinate the management of major incidents; |
| (g) | act on the part of Union_entities as the equivalent of the coordinator designated for the purposes of coordinated vulnerability disclosure pursuant to Article 12(1) of Directive (EU) 2022/2555; |
| (h) | provide, upon the request of a Union entity, proactive non-intrusive scanning of publicly accessible network_and_information_systems of that Union entity. |
The information referred to in the first subparagraph, point (e), shall be shared with the IICB, the CSIRTs network and the European Union Intelligence and Situation Centre (EU INTCEN), where applicable and appropriate, and subject to appropriate confidentiality conditions.
4. CERT-EU may, in accordance with Article 17 or 18 as appropriate, cooperate with relevant cybersecurity communities within the Union and its Member States, including in the following areas:
| (a) | preparedness, incident coordination, information exchange and crisis response at the technical level on cases linked to Union_entities; |
| (b) | operational cooperation regarding the CSIRTs network, including with regard to mutual assistance; |
| (c) | cyber_threat intelligence, including situational awareness; |
| (d) | on any topic requiring CERT-EU’s technical cybersecurity expertise. |
