The importance of the National Security Scheme (ENS) in the business context

Compliance with the National Security Framework (ENS) has become a fundamental pillar in protecting organizations’ digital assets. Digital Security, Data Protection, and Risk Management are no longer just the responsibility of the technical department—they are now key elements of corporate strategy. In this context, Setek Consultants provides tailored guidance and solutions to implement the ENS effectively and in alignment with business objectives.

What is the National Security Framework (ENS)?

The ENS, regulated by Royal Decree 311/2022, establishes the principles and minimum requirements that public administrations and the organizations that provide services to them must meet to ensure appropriate Information Security. Although originally designed for the public sector, its adoption in the private business environment has grown, especially among technology providers and organizations handling sensitive or critical information.

The ENS promotes a culture of security that covers everything from risk assessment to the implementation of technical and organizational measures. It includes controls related to the availability, integrity, confidentiality, traceability, and authenticity of information.

Benefits of ENS for Corporate Cybersecurity

Adopting the ENS offers multiple benefits for companies:

• Improved data protection: ENS complements regulations such as GDPR, ensuring a comprehensive approach.

• Reduced operational risks: Proactive measures lower the likelihood of serious incidents.

• Enhanced client trust: ENS certification strengthens a company’s reputation among clients and partners.

• Easier public sector contracting: An increasing number of contracts now require ENS compliance.

• Alignment with international standards: ENS aligns with frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001, supporting interoperability.

  
  

How to Implement ENS in Your Company

Implementing ENS requires a structured approach:

• Situation analysis: Diagnosis of current compliance levels against ENS requirements.

• Risk assessment: Identification of threats and vulnerabilities affecting information systems.

• Adaptation plan: Design of a personalized roadmap with technical and organizational measures suited to the business.

• Solution deployment: Implementation of access controls, encryption, monitoring, and incident management.

• Training and awareness: Staff training to ensure correct application of security policies.

• ENS audit and certification: Assistance throughout the certification process with accredited bodies.

ENS and Device Protection in the Business Environment

Within the ENS framework, secure device management is especially important. From laptops to smartphones and tablets, all devices must be integrated into a consistent Digital Security policy. At Setek, we specialize in Apple-based business solutions, integrating MDM (Mobile Device Management) platforms that allow:

• Remote device control and configuration

• Automatic data encryption

• Network segmentation and access control

• Rapid response in case of loss or theft

Cybersecurity Trends and the Future of ENS

Business cybersecurity is evolving constantly, and ENS continues to adapt to remain relevant. Some key trends include:

• Artificial Intelligence for threat detection

• Automation in incident response

• Cyber-resilience as a strategic concept

• Adoption of Zero Trust environments
