Artikel 8 Särskilda specifikationer för gemensam eller samlad hotbildsstyrd penetrationstestning


Summary What does Article 8 of the RTS on threat-led penetration testing say?

This article serves as a bridging provision that connects the general TLPT procedural steps (laid out in Articles 9 to 15) to the specific scenarios where multiple financial entities are involved in a joint or pooled TLPT.

It establishes two default rules: first, that each participating financial entity must individually follow the full procedural sequence, and second, that where multiple TLPT authorities are involved, any reference to "the TLPT authority" throughout Articles 9 to 15 should be read as referring to the lead TLPT authority.

Both rules can be displaced — the first by a decision of the lead TLPT authority, and the second by other provisions within the regulation itself.

Important points:

  • Follow each procedural step in Articles 9 to 15 individually, even when participating in a joint or pooled TLPT, unless the lead TLPT authority decides otherwise.
  • In joint or pooled TLPTs involving multiple TLPT authorities, the lead TLPT authority assumes the role of "the TLPT authority" for the purposes of Articles 9 to 15.
  • This article directly links to Article 16, which governs how joint and pooled TLPTs are organised and how a lead TLPT authority is determined.

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

    1. Om flera finansiella entiteter, identifierade i enlighet med artikel 16.2 eller 16.4, deltar i en gemensam eller samlad hotbildsstyrd penetrationstestning ska varje finansiell entitet, om inte annat beslutas av den ledande myndigheten med ansvar för hotbildsstyrd penetrationstestning, följa vart och ett av de steg som anges i artiklarna 9–15.

    1. Om flera myndigheter med ansvar för hotbildsstyrd penetrationstestning deltar i en samlad hotbildsstyrd penetrationstestning eller i en gemensam hotbildsstyrd penetrationstestning i enlighet med artikel 16.3 eller 16.5 ska, om inte annat föreskrivs i denna förordning, hänvisningar i artiklarna 9–15 till ”myndigheten med ansvar för hotbildsstyrd penetrationstestning” förstås som en hänvisning till den ledande myndigheten med ansvar för hotbildsstyrd penetrationstestning för en sådan gemensam eller samlad hotbildsstyrd penetrationstestning.
