🔴 NIS2 still in the national legislative procedure.

NIS2 transposition

  • National law: Anteproyecto de Ley de Coordinación y Gobernanza de la Ciberseguridad
  • Status / entry into force: Council of Ministers approved the draft 2025-01-14; pending parliamentary debate in the Cortes Generales as of mid-2026 ⚠️ VERIFY

Competent authority & CSIRT

  • Competent authority: New Centro Nacional de Ciberseguridad (CNC) (per draft); existing CCN-CERT, INCIBE-CERT, ESPDEF-CERT continue sectoral roles
  • CSIRT / incident response: CCN-CERT / INCIBE-CERT
  • Registration: Per draft (pending); INCIBE-CERT system

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

Subject of a Commission reasoned opinion (2025-05-07); infringement opened Nov 2024; referred to the CJEU for late transposition.
