Why the CER Directive Requires Employee Screenings and Human Risk Management
Four main reasons for CER screenings
-
Check critical personnel for integrity
Individuals with access to sensitive information or critical infrastructure must be vetted for integrity and reliability.
-
Secure external service providers
External partners and service technicians with physical or digital access are subject to the same security standards as internal employees.
-
Legally compliant processes
The CER Directive is implemented into national law and requires documented processes for protecting critical entities.
-
Strengthening operational resilience
Targeted screening minimizes the risk of sabotage, data theft, or intentional damage to critical services.
