certSIGN, a Romania-based company and leading developer and integrator of cybersecurity and cryptographic solutions, has been awarded, following a competitive international tender process, a framework contract to support the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) in providing cybersecurity services to Romania.

certSIGN will lead a consortium including Bit Sentinel and CybrOps to deliver cybersecurity preparedness and response services over a three-year period, with an allocated budget of up to €900,000. The three companies will play a critical role in assisting ENISA, together with the Romanian National Cyber Security Directorate, in the implementation of the Cybersecurity Support Action Programme, enhancing Romania’s readiness and response capabilities in alignment with the NIS2 Directive.

Under this contract, the consortium will deliver a comprehensive range of cybersecurity services designed to strengthen both preparedness and response capabilities of organizations regulated by the NIS2 Directive in Romania, through activities such as preparation and execution of coordinated cybersecurity testing exercises, cyber risk monitoring or bespoke cyber security training, among others.

The National Directorate for Cybersecurity (DNSC) will coordinate the implementation of the services for the beneficiaries impacted by the NIS2 Directive, to ensure seamless integration with the national needs and the existing national cybersecurity frameworks.

“This contract represents a significant milestone as we endeavour to support ENISA and national institutions in strengthening European cybersecurity resilience,” said Adrian Floarea, CEO of certSIGN. “Working alongside our consortium partners, we are committed to delivering critical cybersecurity services that will enhance Romania’s preparedness and response capabilities in an increasingly complex threat landscape.“
