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 buildings feature gridded glass facades with some illuminated windows. The foreground shows a modernist entrance or lobby area with black structural columns and an illuminated golden ceiling grid. The composition emphasizes the buildings' height and geometric patterns.

CER, DORA og NIS2

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.DORA og NIS 2, forudsætter, at finansielle virksomheder opretholder samme høje organisatoriske sikkerhedsniveau som kritiske enheder.

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.

Behind the stars, a modern glass and steel skyscraper rises up, its facade creating a grid pattern of windows and reflective surfaces. The image is taken from a low angle and has a cool, bluish monochromatic tone.

“We had a person who had been looking for a leadership position, and who we were fascinated by, and was actually ready to offer employment for a salary something beyond the budget. 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.”
