The Charter Of Trust welcomed the opportunity to provide input to the EU – US Trade and Technology Council. Ahead of the second ministerial meeting of the Council, we share the contributions made to three of the working groups.
Launched during the US-EU Summit in Brussels on June 15, 2021, the Trade and Technology Council (TTC) will serve as a forum for the US Federal Government and the European Commission to coordinate approaches to key global trade, economic, and technology issues and to deepen transatlantic trade and economic relations based on shared democratic values.
The Charter of Trust welcomed the opportunity to contribute to the TTC. While digitalization has created great opportunities, it also harbors great risks. With this in mind, the Charter of Trust contributed to the three following Working Groups (WG) of the TTC.
- WG 1 on Technology Standards : The Charter of Trust believes it is important to encourage cooperation in the development and subsequent adoption of international standards to curb standardization that is not compatible with the transatlantic business model.
- WG 3 on Secure Supply Chains : The Charter of Trust believes that solid government support will be required to address the availability of materials, skilled labor, R&D equipment and facilities, manufacturing capacity, and technological know-how, and improve the competitiveness and resilience of the semiconductor supply chain in North America and Europe.
- WG 4 on ICT security and competitiveness : The Charter of Trust believes that addressing the magnitude of the cybersecurity challenge we face calls for global rather than local solutions, which can be specifically enabled by transatlantic leadership, the alignment and/or the mutual recognition of risk-based approaches to cybersecurity policies.

36th Cyber Security Day: Working together for more resilience in the digital future
Strong networks and effective cooperation are the key to successfully shaping the digital future in Germany. Cybersecurity is a team effort, and that was again visible last week at the 36th Cyber Security Day in Berlin.
🌐On 26 September 2024, the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI), Alliance for Cyber Security, and the DIHK invited experts, companies, authorities and political decision-makers to jointly strengthen Germany's cyber resilience.
The event was a great mix of policy debate, practical exchange, workshop and networking under the motto ‘Stronger Together: Greater Resilience through Cooperation’.
✨ One of the highlights of the day was the closing panel with Claudia Plattner, President of the BSI, Dr. Stefan Saatmann, Deputy Head Berlin Office at Siemens, Konstantin von Notz, Member of the Bundestag for B90/Greens, and Alexander von Gernler, German Informatics Society, interchanging ideas to foster resilience through collaboration. Initiatives like the CoT baseline requirements and its huge potential for international harmonizing cybersecurity regulations were discussed as well.
Let’s all work together so that closer cooperation between the BSI and businesses bring more tangible effects to increase digital resilience. Special thanks to Nils Hasenau for providing the excellent photos and also to Simon Ulmer and Ralf König for attending the event.

Nordic Cyber Summit 2024
The Charter of Trust at the Nordic Cyber Summit
What a great opportunity for Morten Kromann, Head of Industrial Security Denmark at Siemens, to present the Charter of Trust perspective on cybersecurity regulations like Hashtag#NIS2 at the Nordic Cyber Summit in Copenhagen.
This year the summit was again a formidable event to engage with top cybersecurity experts, share insights, and discuss strategies to navigate the ever-evolving threat landscape in the Nordic region with the theme “Fortifying the Future: Building Cyber Resilience in a Transformed World”.
A main aspect highlighted by Morten was the discrepancies between the NIS2 directive’s incidents reporting timeframe and related provisions adopted in other legislations. These regulatory overlaps create difficult compliance environments for industry and costly operational pressures which add to the fragmentation of the market instead of harmonizing it. That is why the Charter of Trust emphasizes streamlining reporting requirements stemming from these different legislative frameworks and developing single entry points for reporting on the national level.
These and more points have been discussed during our Security-by-default Webinar on the 29th of October. See the events section on this website to find the recording of the webinar.
