The CER Directive (EU 2022/2557) establishes, for the first time, binding minimum standards for physical and operational resilience for eleven essential sectors such as energy, transport, healthcare, and digital infrastructure. From July 2026, Member States must identify critical entities and formally notify them—affected companies will then learn whether the requirements apply to them, and if so, which obligations they must meet.
