Mandatory cyber check for all<br />
legislation, boosting the role of<br />
ENISA<br />
Enhancing the coherence and impact<br />
of EU cybersecurity policymaking<br />
will be a central theme up to <strong>2030</strong>.<br />
In the past five years we have seen<br />
regulation like the Data Act and others<br />
unintentionally jeopardizing European<br />
cybersecurity.<br />
This will require the European<br />
Cybersecurity Agency, ENISA, to play a<br />
more prominent role. ENISA needs to<br />
function as an independent watchdog<br />
that critically scrutinises EU policy to<br />
ensure it promotes cybersecurity. To<br />
do so, we should grant ENISA more<br />
explicit power to be consulted and<br />
provide Opinions on planned EU<br />
cybersecurity laws. The European<br />
Commission should be obliged to<br />
consult them. To do this effectively, it<br />
will need more resources.<br />
In preparing its Opinions, ENISA<br />
should engage with a wide range of<br />
stakeholders, including industry, civil<br />
society organisations and academia.<br />
Mandatory ENISA consultation<br />
on legislative initiatives related to<br />
cybersecurity would contribute to<br />
more effective and comprehensive<br />
cybersecurity policies, ultimately<br />
enhancing the EU’s digital resilience.
