Competent authority & CSIRT

  • Competent authority: Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB)

Incident reporting

Follows the NIS2 cascade: early warning within 24h, notification within 72h, final report within one month, submitted to the national CSIRT / competent authority. Assume national-language submission unless the authority states otherwise.

Penalties & board liability

  • Essential entities: up to €10M or 2% of worldwide turnover (directive minimum, adopted here).
  • Important entities: up to €7M or 1.4% of worldwide turnover.
  • Management-body accountability applies per NIS2 Art. 20; national enforcement mechanisms vary.

CER Directive

Critical-entities resilience is transposed in parallel (often via the same or a connected authority). Member States had to identify critical entities by 2026-07-17. ⚠️ VERIFY national CER instrument.

Notes

First Member State to begin reporting via portal. One of only four states to meet the October 2024 deadline.
