Initiatives

ECSO Cybersecurity Policy Portal

Exclusive for ECSO Members, the Cybersecurity Policy Portal enhances access to critical information on EU cybersecurity policy in a streamlined, effective, and user-friendly way.

We carefully curate the selection of relevant sources and resources and aim to present them in the most intuitive and accessible way possible. By centralising and organising key material, our portal serves as the definitive go-to source for all matters related to EU cybersecurity policy.

ECSO NIS2 Directive Transposition Tracker

The NIS2 Directive Transposition Tracker is a collaborative project providing a streamlined and comprehensive overview of the Directive’s transposition across EU member states.

Organised into dedicated sections for each country, the tracker covers key aspects such as the sectoral scope, applicable standards, registration processes, sanctions, lists of competent authorities, and deadlines.

This initiative aims to identify similarities and differences in implementation while ensuring clarity for stakeholders navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.
