testing (TLPT).

4. ICT Third-Party Risk Management

Strong oversight of ICT vendors is required, including cloud services, contractual standards, and
continuous monitoring.

5. Information Sharing
Organizations may share cyber threat intelligence to increase resilience, following data protection
laws.

and ensures continuity of vital financial services across the EU.
