Recital 3

Relevant Union law in force comprises several sets of horizontal rules that address certain aspects linked to cybersecurity from different angles, including measures to improve the security of the digital supply chain. However, existing Union law related to cybersecurity, including Regulation (EU) 2019/881 of the European Parliament and of the Council1 and Directive (EU) 2022/2555 of the European Parliament and of the Council2, does not directly cover mandatory requirements for the security of products with digital elements.
