Public consultation on the evaluation and review of the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA)

Purpose

The European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) was set up in 2004 to contribute to the overall goal of ensuring a high level of network and information security within the EU. Its current objectives, mandate and tasks were set by the new ENISA's Regulation in 2013 for a seven year period, until 2020.

The Commission is required by ENISA's Regulation to conduct an evaluation of ENISA’s activities by June 2018. In view of the rapid evolution of the EU cybersecurity and digital privacy landscape, both on the threat and policy side, the Commission has brought forward the ENISA evaluation and will review its Regulation as part of its 2017 Work Programme.

The evaluation and review of ENISA offer the opportunity to help shape one element of the next stage of EU response to cyber threats.

The results of this public consultation will feed the ex post evaluation of ENISA for the period 2013-2016 and will serve as input to prepare the ground for a possible revision of the Agency’s mandate.

Duration

The Consultation opens 18 January 2017 and closes 12 April 2017 (12 weeks).

Comments received after the closing date will not be considered.
