Strengthening Europe’s cybersecurity framework through simplification

The review of the Cybersecurity Act (CSA 2.0) is an opportunity to build a more coherent, outcome-oriented EU cybersecurity framework. While the proposal recognises fragmentation across the Single Market, further simplification is needed to reduce overlaps and support effective compliance.

A harmonised approach to risk assessment and supervision can strengthen resilience while avoiding duplicative obligations. Certification and supply-chain measures should remain risk-based, objective, technical and aligned with international standards. Structured industry engagement and clear designation thresholds under the ICT Supply Chain Framework and a secure-by-design approach to policymaking will be essential to support cybersecurity and global interoperability. Read more on how CSA 2.0 can strengthen resilience across the Single Market.
