Different goals

NIS2 targets cyber resilience and notification for essential and important entities. eIDAS 2.0 targets digital identity and trust services. They overlap where identity infrastructure supports critical services.

Shared themes

Vendor management, incident response, logging, governance and chain risk appear in both. Use one risk register tagged NIS2 / eIDAS / ISO.

In practice

If you use wallet or QES for vital processes, treat QTSPs as chain partners under NIS2 and eIDAS. Test signing and identity outage alongside other ICT scenarios.

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
