The Resilience of Critical Entities Regulations transposed the EU Critical Entities Resilience Directive that is part of a European Union-wide effort to increase the resilience of essential services that provide vital societal functions in all Member states. A key element of the new regulation is the development of a strategy for the Resilience of Critical Entities.
My Department is currently developing, in partnership with the relevant Competent Authorities and other Government Departments, the Critical Entities Resilience Strategy. It is intended that a further round of consultations targeting operators of essential services will be completed by end of Q3 2025. This strategy is expected to be published early in 2026.
