The ENS (Royal Decree 311/2022) applies to public sector entities and the information systems they use to exercise their powers and provide their services. It also applies to private sector entities that, through a contractual relationship, provide services or solutions to public agencies when their systems fall within the applicable scope. The ENS is updated and promoted by the National Cryptology Center (CCN)
Information systems classified as MEDIUM or HIGH must obtain a certificate of conformity issued by a certification body accredited by ENAC in accordance with the UNE-EN ISO/IEC 17065 standard and the requirements established for the ENS. For systems in the BASIC, conformity may be demonstrated through a declaration of conformity, although certification may be sought on a voluntary basis.
The process includes reviewing the application and scope, planning the audit, conducting a documentary and technical evaluation of the system, preparing the report, resolving any nonconformities identified, and reviewing the findings and making a decision. When the outcome is favorable, a certificate of compliance with the ENS is issued.
The organization must analyze the causes, define the necessary corrective actions, and provide evidence of their implementation within the established timeframe. The documentation provided will be reviewed, and, when necessary, additional checks will be conducted to verify that the issues have been properly resolved. The certificate may only be issued once the nonconformities preventing certification have been satisfactorily resolved.
The certificate is valid for a maximum of two years, provided that the conditions under which it was granted remain in effect. To renew it, a new audit must be conducted before it expires. Furthermore, any significant changes to the system, scope, services, infrastructure, or security conditions must be reported to the certification body, which will determine whether an extraordinary assessment is necessary.
