Joint Associations’ Letter – European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme for Cloud

The European Association of CCP Clearing Houses (EACH), the European Central Securities Depositories Association (ECSDA), and the Federation of European Securities Exchanges (FESE)  welcome the progress made on the European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme for Cloud Services (EUCS) and ask for a swift adoption of the scheme.

With the joint letter to the European Commission and Member States, the associations welcome the elimination of non-technical requirements from the latest EUCS draft, e.g. the requirements concerning the Protection Of European Data Against Unlawful Access (PUA requirements) which were blocking the advancement of the draft scheme. As such, the associations urge the European Commission and Member States to ensure that the latest EUCS draft is adopted formally as part of an Implementing Act without undue delay to enable a swift adoption of the scheme.
