National entry point for incident reporting
Source Council, 22 October 2026. Article 23b: ST 14756/26, page 162 · pp. 162–163 · exact text page
Member States shall establish and maintain a national entry point supporting and facilitating the reporting of incidents and related events under the Union legal acts where those Union legal acts provide so.
Member States shall retain flexibility to configure their national entry point in accordance with their existing national structures and the allocation of competences among authorities, including by connecting existing systems and enabling the sharing, routing or distribution of relevant information.
Member States shall endeavour to design their national entry point with a view to making the national entry points interoperable with the national entry points of other Member States.
ENISA shall, by [12 months from the date of entry into force of this amending Regulation], in consultation with the CSIRTs network, the Cooperation Group and other relevant bodies or groups established at Union level under relevant Union legal acts provide non-binding recommendations to support Member States in the establishment, maintenance and secure operation of their respective national entry point. Those recommendations shall address technical, operational and organisational measures, taking into account experiences and lessons learned from existing reporting structures. Those recommendations shall include technical specifications to ensure interoperability between all Member States’ national entry points as referred to in paragraph 3 and to facilitate the alignment of incident notifications submitted via their respective national entry point with cross-border reporting obligations.
ENISA shall, by [18 months from the date of entry into force of this amending Regulation], in cooperation with Member States, develop an open-source solution that may be used by Member States in setting up their national entry point in accordance with paragraph 1, with the objective of strengthening interoperability between national systems and enable faster, more effective cross-border data sharing when a situation requires coordinated action
