Artikel 6 Riskhantering i samband med gemensam eller samlad hotbildsstyrd penetrationstestning


Summary What does Article 6 of the RTS on threat-led penetration testing say?

This article addresses a specific scenario that arises out of the broader TLPT framework: what happens when multiple financial entities are involved in the same test, either through a joint TLPT or a pooled TLPT.

It establishes that while each financial entity retains individual responsibility for its own risk assessment and risk management measures, there is also a collective layer of risk management that must be addressed.

The designated lead financial entity takes on the additional responsibility of assessing the risks that arise from the multi-entity nature of the test, and all involved control teams are required to cooperate with it to identify risks that span across the group.

Important points:

  • Each financial entity in a joint or pooled TLPT must conduct its own independent risk assessment and establish its own risk management measures.
  • The control team of the designated lead financial entity is responsible for assessing the risks specific to having multiple financial entities involved in the same TLPT.
  • All other control teams involved in the test are required to cooperate with the designated lead financial entity's control team to identify potential joint risks.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

    1. När det rör sig om en gemensam hotbildsstyrd penetrationstestning eller en samlad hotbildsstyrd penetrationstestning ska ledningslaget för varje finansiell entitet genomföra sin egen riskbedömning och upprätta sina egna riskhanteringsåtgärder.

    1. Ledningslaget för den utsedda finansiella entitet som avses i artikel 16.3 b i denna förordning eller den finansiella entitet som utsetts i enlighet med artikel 26.4 i förordning (EU) 2022/2554 ska bedöma riskerna i samband med att flera finansiella entiteter deltar i den hotbildsstyrda penetrationstestningen. De deltagande finansiella entiteternas ledningslag ska samarbeta med den utsedda finansiella entitetens ledningslag för att identifiera potentiella gemensamma risker.
