Qualified Entities: a list of QuaSte providers according to the NIS Act
The Austrian NIS Act requires operators of essential services to conduct regular audits of their network and information security. The audits are organisational and technical and must be carried out every three years.
These audits must be carried out by "qualified entities" ("QuaSte"). The list of qualified entities is provided to operators of essential services upon request.
We have taken the trouble to compile a list of qualified entities in Austria for you.
