Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) has become an essential component of modern cybersecurity practices, especially for entities operating in sectors critical to the security and well-being of society. The NIS 2 Directive (Directive (EU) 2022/2555) underscores the importance of managing vulnerabilities in ICT products and services, urging entities to establish effective procedures for identifying, disclosing, and remedying vulnerabilities. This coordinated approach helps to mitigate the risks posed by cybersecurity threats and ensures that vulnerabilities are addressed swiftly and securely, minimizing the risk of exploitation by malicious actors. According to Article 26 of the directive, vulnerability management and disclosure are key components of a robust cybersecurity framework aimed at enhancing the security of network and information systems across the European Union.

National Policy Support
Entities subject to the NIS 2 Directive, particularly essential and important entities, have a clear obligation to establish vulnerability-handling procedures that not only allow for internal identification and mitigation but also foster collaboration with external parties, such as researchers or third-party security professionals. ENISA, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity, recommends coordinated vulnerability disclosure as a best practice for improving the overall resilience of ICT systems and services. The directive mandates that Member States, in cooperation with ENISA, support the establishment of a national policy on coordinated vulnerability disclosure, as per Article 29, to encourage secure and responsible reporting of vulnerabilities, while protecting researchers from legal repercussions when acting in good faith.
