Several security standards like the GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework are practiced globally by organizations seeking to become risk-aware and manage the evolving attack vectors in the rapidly changing cyberspace. The Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS) by the Spanish government aims to ensure security in digital administration and increase information systems' cybersecurity levels as laid down by European Union regulations and privacy standards.
The primary purpose of establishing the ENS, also known as the National Security Framework, was to emphasize security as a strategic priority in progressive digital transformation. The framework lays down the basic principles and minimum requirements to protect the electronically processed information of the entities within its scope.
The CCN-STIC Security Guides, according to the National Cryptologic Center (CCN), categorize information systems into three levels (high, medium, and low), taking into pivotal consideration the impact of classified security dimensions. A system's security category is reassessed annually or whenever significant changes occur.
The ENS applies to the following:
All public sector entities
The information systems of private sector entities providing services to public sector entities
Systems handling classified information and systems arising from international commitments entered into by Spain or by way of its membership in international forums
Public sector entities carrying out the installation, deployment, and operation of 5G networks or the provision of 5G services
ManageEngine has successfully achieved ENS compliance, updated by Royal Decree 311/2022, qualifying with all the basic and necessary requirements as stated in the framework. ENS compliance aligns predominantly with the popular ISO/IEC 27001 standard, which focuses on managing information management systems.
ManageEngine's ENS accreditation includes all its on-premises and cloud solutions, guaranteed after a thorough evaluation by BDO, an independent audit firm accredited by the Entidad Nacional de Acreditación (the only agency to be appointed as a national accreditation body by the Spanish government).
