Book an informal conversation

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

Check your NIS2 gaps

Government as wallet provider and consumer

Municipalities, agencies and central government play dual roles: facilitating wallet infrastructure and offering services that accept wallet attributes. NIS2 and national security baselines remain alongside eIDAS specs.

Interoperability

eIDAS 2.0 targets cross-border attribute use. Test with other member states, document trust frameworks and fallback to existing national eID flows during transition.

Governance

Leadership must understand which attributes are issued, fraud and breach risks, and notification duties under GDPR and NIS2. Record decisions in management review.

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
