Book an informal conversation

ISO Ready helps you align policy, risk, and evidence, without endless document churn.

Run the ISO 27001 readiness scan

eIDAS and ISMS together

ISO 27001 does not cover eIDAS directly, but provides the frame for PKI management, access control, logging, supplier management and incident response that eIDAS implementations need. Map Annex A controls to wallet, QES and QTSP processes in your SoA.

Evidence for audits

Show certificate lifecycle, key ceremonies (or cloud HSM configuration), access reviews on signing platforms and incident registration for trust service abuse or outage. Certification bodies sample operation, not policy alone.

One register

Combine eIDAS vendors, trust services and security vendors in one tiering model. Tag what is eIDAS-specific versus general ISO controls to avoid duplicate documentation.

Checklist

  • Inventory eID, QES and QTSP use
  • Map vendors and trust list status
  • Link to ISMS, GDPR and risk register
  • Plan DPIA where wallet or identity data
  • Test fallback and incident scenarios

Practical next step

For eIDAS 2.0 ISO 27001, ISO Ready links identity, trust and security measures in one ISMS, with actions, evidence and vendors toward audit. Run the readiness scan on iso-ready.nl.

Frequently asked questions

When does eIDAS 2.0 apply to eIDAS 2.0 compliance and ISO 27001?
When you offer or consume digital identity, wallet attributes, QES or qualified trust services in the EU, alongside national implementation timelines.
Does eIDAS replace ISO 27001?
No. eIDAS regulates trust services; ISO 27001 helps the ISMS and evidence for security controls around PKI, logging and vendors.
How does this relate to national eID schemes?
National schemes remain; eIDAS 2.0 adds the EUDI wallet and EU-wide interoperability. Plan transition and fallback.
What role does GDPR play?
Identity and attribute data are personal data. DPIA, records and minimisation remain leading.
How do we start with eIDAS 2.0 compliance and ISO 27001?
Inventory current trust services, map vendors and link to ISMS and privacy records before rolling out new wallet or QES processes.
