Public procurement frequently serves as a primary signal of market direction.
            Requirements imposed by or on public authorities to adopt specific assurance levels
            offered by cloud computing services tend to be mirrored by private-sector entities
            operating in regulated industries, with subsequent spillover effects contributing to
            broader market realignment over time. Those developments underscore the importance
            of private-sector entities operating in the sectors in Annex I to Directive (EU)
            2022/2555 to be able to carry out the same assessments as those carried out by Union
            entities and Member States.
