Artikel 6 Innehåll i den frivilliga anmälan av betydande cyberhot


Summary What does Article 6 of the RTS on incident reporting say?

This article sets out what financial entities must include when making a voluntary notification about a significant cyber threat — that is, a cyber threat that could potentially result in a major ICT-related incident, even if it has not yet materialised.

It complements the mandatory incident reporting framework established in earlier articles by addressing this distinct, pre-incident scenario.

The content requirements cover the nature and status of the threat, its potential impact, the classification criteria that would have applied had it escalated into a real incident, and any actions taken or notifications made to other parties.

Important points:

  • Include the classification criteria from Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1772 that would have triggered a major incident report, treating the voluntary notification as a hypothetical major incident assessment.
  • Provide details on the potential impact of the significant cyber threat on your financial entity, its clients, and financial counterparts.
  • Notify whether the significant cyber threat has been reported to other financial entities or authorities, ensuring transparency across the broader reporting landscape.
