Financial firms are not directly subject to the upcoming background check requirements under the CER directive — “resilience of critical entities” — but will have to comply with similar requirements at a minimum.
The CER Directive and the related legislative package, including DORA and NIS 2, require financial firms to maintain the same high level of organizational security as critical entities.
In addition, there are already many areas in the Executive Order (Ordinance on the Management and Governance of Financial Institutions, etc.) where expanded background checks can improve the requirements for reassuring security measures
The FSA is expected to publish guidelines on the implementation of the EU CER and NIS2 Directives in the financial sector by 18 October 2024.

With the help of P-Secure, we found out that incorrect information had been given in relation to the CV. The applicant was confronted with it and professed suit. We have now moved on with another candidate.”
