Article 6 Criticality of services affected
For the purpose of determining the criticality of the services affected as referred to in Article 18(1), point (e), of Regulation (EU) 2022/2554, financial entities shall assess whether the incident:
affects or has affected ICT services or network and information systems that support critical or important functions of the financial entity;
affects or has affected financial services provided by the financial entity that require authorisation, registration or that are supervised by competent authorities;
constitutes or has constituted a successful, malicious and unauthorised access to the network and information systems of the financial entity.
Relevant recitals
Recital 5 Cyber attacks
The classification criteria should ensure that all relevant types of major incidents are captured. Cyber attacks related to intrusion into network or information systems may not necessarily be captured by many classification criteria. However, they are important since any intrusion in network and information systems may harm the financial entity. Accordingly, the classification criteria ‘critical services affected’ and ‘data losses’ should be specified in such a way as to capture these types of major incidents, in particular unauthorised intrusions which, even if the impacts are not immediately known, may lead to serious consequences, in particular data breaches and data leakages.
