Country notes for your CDC

MCF's regulations, published as MCFFS, detail registration and the security measures, and sector authorities supervise. Since 1 July 2026 the national CSIRT function, CERT-SE, sits in the National Cyber Security Centre at FRA, which also receives incident reports; confirm the current reporting channel with it. Map the MCF regulations to your control evidence.

Standard checklist for all countries

  • GOVERN: applicability determined per legal entity and sector, and recorded in the regulatory applicability register
  • Entity registration completed with the national authority where required
  • RESPOND: incident-reporting procedure drilled against the national channel and the 24 h early-warning clock
  • Contact established with the national CSIRT before the first incident
  • Data protection authority contact and GDPR Art. 33 flow prepared. This runs in parallel with NIS2 reporting
  • National guidance and frameworks mapped to your control evidence, per the note above
