Transmission System Operators (TSOs) are key players, critical entities in maintaining the resilience and security of critical infrastructure under the Directive of Critical Entity Resilience (CER) framework. They ensure the continuous and secure crossborder transmission of electricity, which is essential for national energy security. In addition to managing grid stability, TSOs must adhere to cybersecurity requirements outlined in the Comission Delegated Act of Network Code on Cybersecurity (NCCS) and the NIS 2 Directive, protecting critical energy infrastructure from physical and cyber threats. TSOs shall develop, in cooperation with the EU DSO entity, proposals for the terms and conditions or methodologies (e.g. risk assessment, minimum and advanced cyber security controls, cybersecurity procurement recommendation) pursuant to paragraph 2, or for plans pursuant to paragraph 3 of NCCS.
Distribution System Operators (DSOs) play a vital role, as critical entities, in maintaining the resilience and security of critical energy infrastructure under the Critical Entity Resilience (CER) framework by ensuring reliable electricity distribution to end users. They also contribute to crossborder transmission of electricity and for this reason DSO as critical infrastuctures are responsible for implementing robust cybersecurity measures as required by the Network Code on Cybersecurity (NCCS) and the NIS 2 Directive, helping protect local distribution networks from cyber and physical threats. Their role is essential in ensuring both operational continuity and the integration of distributed energy resources.DSOs shall execute regular risk assessments, ensure control on critical ICT providers, manage asset inventory, suppliers etc.

Within the European Union the National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs) play a pivotal role in ensuring that each member state adheres to the newly established security targets related to critical infrastructure in the electricity sector, while also implementing the pertinent regulatory policies. We are assisting the critical stakeholders in the electricity industry with identification, implementation, and evaluation of measures designed to enhance the security of electricity supply as follows:
Transmission System Operators (TSOs) are vital for maintaining the resilience and security of critical infrastructure, ensuring the continuous and secure transmission of electricity across borders. They must comply with cybersecurity requirements under the NCCS and NIS 2 Directive, collaborating with EU DSO entities to develop risk assessments and cybersecurity controls to protect critical energy infrastructure from physical and cyber threats.
Distribution System Operators (DSOs) are crucial in maintaining the resilience and security of energy infrastructure, ensuring reliable electricity distribution and contributing to cross-border transmission. They must implement robust cybersecurity measures as required by the NCCS and NIS 2 Directive, conducting risk assessments and managing critical ICT providers to protect local networks from cyber and physical threats while supporting operational continuity and integrating distributed energy resources.
In the Network Code on Cybersecurity (NCCS), energy producers are key players in safeguarding power generation facilities from cyber threats that could disrupt energy production. They must implement protective measures, collaborate with TSOs and DSOs to share information, and ensure compliance with cybersecurity requirements under the NCCS and NIS 2 Directive to maintain grid security and resilience.
Balancing responsible parties and organized marketplaces, as high or critical entities under the Network Code on Cybersecurity (NCCS), play a key role in ensuring the secure and resilient operation of energy trading platforms. They must implement cybersecurity measures to protect market integrity, collaborate with stakeholders like TSOs and energy producers, and respond to cyber incidents to maintain the stability and efficiency of energy markets.
In the Network Code on Cybersecurity (NCCS), aggregators play a vital role in ensuring the cybersecurity of distributed energy resources (DERs) they manage, implementing security measures to protect communication and data exchange from cyber threats. They must coordinate with TSOs, DSOs, and other stakeholders to share information, detect vulnerabilities, and respond to cyber incidents, ensuring the overall cybersecurity and resilience of the energy system in compliance with NCCS and the NIS 2 Directive.
In the Network Code on Cybersecurity (NCCS), the supply chain plays a crucial role in ensuring the cybersecurity of critical energy infrastructure by maintaining secure practices throughout the lifecycle of hardware, software, and services. Suppliers must ensure their products meet cybersecurity standards, collaborate with energy stakeholders like TSOs and DSOs, and help monitor, detect, and respond to cyber risks, strengthening the resilience of the entire energy system.
