CCN-CERT

The CCN-CERT is the Information Security Incident Response Capability of the National Cryptologic Centre, CCN. This service was created in 2006 as the Spanish National Governmental CERT and its functions are set out in Law 11/2002 regulating the National Intelligence Centre, RD 421/2004 regulating the CCN and RD 311/2022, of 3 May, which regulates the National Security Framework.

Therefore, its mission is to contribute to the improvement of Spanish cybersecurity by being the national alert and response centre which cooperates and helps to respond quickly and efficiently to cyber-attacks and to actively confront cyber-threats. This mission includes the coordination at the state public level of the different Incident Response Capacities or existing Cybersecurity Operations Centres.

All this, with the ultimate aim of achieving a more secure and reliable cyberspace, preserving classified information (as stated in Article 4.F of Law 11/2002) and sensitive information, defending the Spanish Technological Heritage, training expert personnel, applying security policies and procedures and using and developing the most appropriate technologies for this purpose.

In accordance with these regulations and Law 40/2015 of the Public Sector Legal System, the CCN-CERT is responsible for the management of cyber-incidents affecting any public body or company. In the case of critical public sector operators, the management of cyber-incidents will be carried out by the CCN-CERT in coordination with the CNPIC.
