FAQ

What is the ENS and who must comply with it?

The National Security Framework (ENS), regulated by Royal Decree 311/2022, is a framework that requires all public administrations in Spain, as well as private companies that collaborate with them or handle sensitive data, to implement minimum security measures.

What security levels exist within the ENS, and how do they differ?

The ENS defines three security levels: Low, Medium, and High, assigned according to the potential impact a security incident would have on systems or information.
A Low level applies to systems handling less sensitive data with limited impact. A Medium level applies when a compromise could seriously affect services or information. A High level is for critical systems or those managing highly sensitive information.

For which ENS levels is an external audit (formal certification) required?

Medium and High levels require an external audit conducted by an accredited certification body. For the Basic level, a periodic self-assessment is sufficient to demonstrate compliance.

How is the appropriate security level for a system determined?

It is based on a risk analysis that assesses the sensitivity of the data handled, and the potential impact of a breach in terms of confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity, and traceability, as well as the criticality of the services provided.

How often must the ENS certification be renewed or follow-up audits performed?

For Medium and High levels, an external audit must be repeated periodically (for example, every two years), in addition to implementing continuous monitoring, internal reviews, and ongoing security improvements.
