1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 SCOPE
Under Article 19 of the eIDAS regulation, trust service providers (TSPs) in the EU have to notify their national supervisory bodies of any security incidents. The supervisory bodies send summaries of these incident reports to the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) on an annual basis and ENISA publishes an aggregated overview of the reported security incidents.
ENISA publishes detailed statistics about trust services security incidents in an online visual tool, ENISA’s cybersecurity incident reporting and analysis system (CIRAS) ( ). This tool allows for a custom analysis of trends and patterns and supports the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data collected.
This report gives an aggregate overview of the incidents submitted to ENISA by the supervisory bodies during 2024.
1.2 EIDAS REGULATION
The EU Regulation 910/2014 (eIDAS) sets rules for electronic identity schemes and trust services in Europe, national electronic identification schemes, cross-border interoperability and recognition. Article 19 sets the obligation for qualified and non-qualified trust service providers (TSPs) to report any breach of security or loss of integrity that has a significant impact on the trust service provided or on the personal data maintained therein.
The eIDAS regulation aims to:
• ensure that electronic signatures can have the same legal standing as traditional signatures; • remove barriers to electronic commerce and all types of electronic transactions in the EU, with a view to building a European internal market for trust services; • by ensuring that they will work across borders and have the same legal status as their traditional paperbased equivalents.
1.3 DISCLAIMER
As per Article 19, this document only contains aggregated and anonymised information about incidents and does not include details about individual countries or individual TSPs.
1.4 STRUCTURE
This document is structured as follows:
- Section 2 briefly reviews the processes, incl. CIRAS tool and describes anonymised examples of reported incidents; - Section 3 presents the categories of root causes, the detailed causes and the affected services; - Section 4 describes the multiannual trends in incidents from 2017-2024; - Section 5 draws conclusions and observations based on the available datasets.

2. INCIDENT REPORTING FRAMEWORK
In this section, we give an overview of the formats and procedures for the reporting of incidents (breaches) under Article 19 of the eIDAS regulation.
eIDAS Article 19 requires TSPs in 2.1 OVERVIEW OF INCIDENT REPORTING PROCESS the EU to:

ANNUAL REPORT TRUST SERVICES SECURITY INCIDENTS 2024 2.2 INCIDENT REPORTING TOOL
Experts from national authorities have access to CIRAS, ENISA’s incident reporting tool, where they can upload incident reports and search for and study specific incidents.
ENISA reporting template starts with a type selector and contains three parts.
1. Impact of the incident: which trust services are impacted and by how much? 2. Nature of the incident: what caused the incident? 3. Details about the incident: short description, types of services and assets, severity level, etc.
Figure B. Incident reporting tool
▪ Type A: service outage (e.g. continuity, availability). For example, an outage caused by a cable being cut by mistake by the operator of an excavation machine used for building a new road would be categorised as a type A incident.
▪ Type B: other impact on service (e.g. confidentiality, authenticity, integrity). For example, a popular collaboration tool has not encrypted the content of the media channels which are established when a session is started between the endpoints participating in the shared session. This leads to the interception of the media (voice, pictures, video, files, etc.) through a man-in-the-middle attack. This incident would be categorised as a type B incident.
▪ Type C: impact on other systems (e.g. ransomware in an office network, no impact on the service). For example, malware is detected on several workstations and servers of the office network of a telecom provider. This incident would be categorised as a type C incident.
▪ Type D: threat or vulnerability (e.g. discovery of crypto flaw). For instance, the discovery of a cryptographic weakness would be categorised as a type D incident.
8
ANNUAL REPORT TRUST SERVICES SECURITY INCIDENTS 2024
▪ Type E: impact on redundancy (e.g. failover or backup system). For example, the breaking of one of two redundant submarine cables would be categorised as a type E incident.
▪ Type F: near-miss incident (e.g. activation of security measures). For instance, a malicious attempt that ends up in the honeypot network of a telecom provider would be categorised as a type F incident.
Depending on the type selected, some fields in the template are deactivated. For example, in the case of a Type A incident, the fields ‘threat severity factors’ and ‘severity of threat’ are not active.

3. INCIDENT ANALYSIS
The 2024 annual summary reporting, by the 21 EU Member States and 3 EEA countries participating in this process, included in total 44 security incidents.
Figure 1. Number of reported incidents from 2017–2024
3.1 ROOT CAUSE CATEGORIES
Figure 2 shows the distribution of the incidents according to their underlying root cause. The overall impact of the incidents amounted to 618 million user hours lost, 42 million hours of which were for system failures, 4 million hours human errors and 571 million hours malicious actions. In comparison for 2023 we had 3184 million user hours lost, with system failures having 1 million, human errors 43 million and malicious actions with 3140 million.
Incidents are divided into four categories of root causes.
• System failures continue to be the dominant root cause in 2024, accounting for 64% out of 28 incidents compared to 63% with 40 incidents in 2023. Typically, system failures are due to either hardware failures or software bugs. • Human errors accounted for 23% with 10 incidents, which is similar in percentage for 2023 with 22% albeit with more incidents - 14. • Malicious actions with 6 incidents got a share of 14%, which is the same percentage in 2023, with 9 incidents. • Natural phenomena did not account for any of the reported incidents, which is a trend for the last three years.
11
ANNUAL REPORT TRUST SERVICES SECURITY INCIDENTS 2024
Figure 2. Root causes of TSP security incidents – 2024 We also keep track of third-party failures, i.e. when the incident originated from a third party, with a view to assessing the impact on the supplier or the provider. In 2024, out of 44 reported incidents 7 are marked as third-party failures, compared to 19 incidents out of 63 were flagged as third-party failures for 2023. Out of those reported in 2024: - 6 were categorised as system failures and - 1 were categorised as malicious actions.
12
ANNUAL REPORT TRUST SERVICES SECURITY INCIDENTS 2024 3.1.1 System Failures
System failures account for 28 of all 44 incidents resulting in 64% share for 2024. The most impacted services by system failures are the eSignatures with 85% of all system failures. eTimestamp come second with 17% and webCertificates with 14%.
Figure 3. System failures impact on services – 2024
The top three technical causes for system failures are hardware failure with 32%, Software bugs with 28% and policy procedure flaw with 14%. The top two causes are similar to 2023 the difference being that policy procedure was last in the score with 5% while faulty software changes were third with 25%.
13
ANNUAL REPORT TRUST SERVICES SECURITY INCIDENTS 2024
Figure 4. Technical causes for System failures– 2024 The top three technical assets affected by the system failures in 2024 are Certification authority platform (32%), registration authority (32%) and generation and validation of signatures/seals platform with 29%. The difference with 2023 is in the changes in second and third place, where we had generation and validation of signatures/seals platform second with 30% and network platform third with 25%.
Figure 5. Technical assets affected by System failures– 2024
14
ANNUAL REPORT TRUST SERVICES SECURITY INCIDENTS 2024 3.1.2 Human errors
The human errors incidents are 10 in total, representing a 23% share of all incidents in 2024.
The human errors have a limited impact in terms of services affected for 2024, compared to system failures. Only three were affected with eSignature being the top with 80%, which is similar as in 2023 where we had 92%. Second and third are the eTimestamp and webCertificate with same results at 10%. For comparison in 2023 we also had eSeal affected with 14%, which made it the second most affected in that year.
Figure 6. Human errors impact on services – 2024
The top three technical causes for human errors in 2024 were policy/procedure flaw with 60%, similar to 2023 where this cause was with 42%. Second comes faulty software change/update with 30% and last are software bugs with 10%. For comparison in 2023 we also had tampering of personal data standing in last place with 7%.
15
ANNUAL REPORT TRUST SERVICES SECURITY INCIDENTS 2024
Figure 7. Technical causes for human errors– 2024
The top three technical assets affected by human errors in 2024 were the generation and validation of signatures/seals platform with 50%, second comes the certification authority with 40% and last are the time stamping and the validation authority with both having 10%. For comparison in 2023 we had certification authority with 29% being top cause, while the rest generation and validation of signatures/seals platform, registration authority and software were all with 21%.
Figure 8. Technical assets affected by Human errors– 2024
16
ANNUAL REPORT TRUST SERVICES SECURITY INCIDENTS 2024 3.1.3 Malicious actions
Malicious actions have 14% of the share with 6 incidents for 2024. The malicious actions have a very targeted service for 2024 and this is the eSginature service, with all the incidents reported on this particular service.
The top three technical causes for malicious actions in 2024 are tampering of personal data with 50%, second comes malware and viruses with 33% and last are theft or loss of data and theft or loss of equipment both with 16%.
Figure 9. Technical causes for malicious actions – 2024
The top three technical assets affected by the malicious actions in 2024 were Archive with 33%, generation and validation of signatures/seals platform with 33% and certification authority and network platform at 17%. In comparison for 2023 the CA authority was top asset affected with 44%, second comes generation and validation of signatures/seals platform with 33% and third was registration authority with 22%.

3.2 TECHNICAL CAUSES
It is important to note that an incident is often not only triggered by one cause ( ) but by multiple detailed causes (i.e. a chain of events). The top detailed cause of incidents in 2024 was the policy/procedure flaw, with 10 incidents accounting for 22% of all incidents. This is an increase compared to 2023 where policy procedure flaw was third technical cause with 13 incidents at 15%. Software bugs come second overall with 20% and 9 incidents, which is an increase in the share from 2023 where it was 17% with 11 incidents. Hardware failure comes in third place with 20% share and 9 incidents, which is an increase in the share from 14% in 2023, with the same number of incidents. Faulty software changes/updates with 13% and 6 incidents are forth, which is a big change compared to 2023, where it was the top cause with 20% and 13 incidents. The full breakdown of detailed causes for reported incidents can be seen in Figure 11.
ANNUAL REPORT TRUST SERVICES SECURITY INCIDENTS 2024
Figure 11. Detailed causes of trust services security incidents – 2024
3.3 SERVICES AFFECTED
The most affected services in 2024 are eSignature, eTimestamp and webCertificate. Most of the reported incidents (86%) had an impact on electronic signatures ( ), as can be seen in Figure 12, compared to 95% having an impact on electronic signatures in 2023. eTimestamps come distant second with just 13% representing 6 incidents, which is similar to 12% and 8 incidents in 2023. The third most impacted services was webCertifcate with 11% and 5 incidents, which is an increase from 2023 where it had 4% and 3 incidents. eSeal had the biggest decline with 6% and 3 incidents, while in 2023 there were 26% and 7 incidents.

Figure 12. Impact of incidents on trust services – 2024
3.4 ASSETS AFFECTED
Finally, we also keep track of the underlying assets affected by incidents, which can be seen in Figure 13. The top affected assets are the generation and validation of signtures/seals platform with 34% and 15 incidents, which is an increase in percentage compared to 2023 with 28% with a bigger number of incidents – 18. The second most affected asset in 2024 is the certification authority platform with 32% and 14 incidents which is a decrease compared to 2023 where it was top cause with 43% and 27 incidents. The registration authority platform is the third most impacted asset with 23% and 10 incidents which is similar to 2023 where we had 21% and 13 incidents. Network platform is forth with 18% and 8 incidents, which is a decrease in share compared to 2023 with 24% and double the incidents to 15.

3.5 QUALIFIED SERVICES VERSUS NON-QUALIFIED SERVICES
This year nearly 84% of total trust services security incidents had an impact on qualified services (i.e., qualified signature certificate creation, qualified seal certificate creation, etc.) with 37 incidents in qualified services and 7 incidents in non-qualified services. The distribution remains exactly the same to what was in 2023 with the same numbers in terms of percentages.
non-qualified services 16%
Qualified services 84%

4. MULTIANNUAL TRENDS 2017–2024
ENISA has been collecting and aggregating trust services incident reports since 2016. In this section, we look at multiannual trends over the last 8 years, covering 2017–2024. The dataset contains a total of 287 reported incidents.
4.1 ROOT CAUSE TRENDS
Root-cause categories, i.e., system failures, human errors, malicious actions and natural phenomena, are analysed over the period from 2017 to 2024. From 2017–2024 system failures represented 58% of all reported incidents, human errors represented 26% of all reported incidents, 15% involved malicious actions and 1% natural phenomena, as displayed in Figure 15.
Figure 15. Nature of reported incidents – trust services security incidents in the EU (reported from 2017–2024) Over the period of reference, out of 287 incidents reported: - system failures accounted for 166 of all reported incidents, - human errors accounted for 75 of all reported incidents, - 43 involved malicious actions, and - 3 involved natural phenomena.
Percentage trends of related incidents over the last 8 years are displayed in Figure 16, arranged by category.
22
ANNUAL REPORT TRUST SERVICES SECURITY INCIDENTS 2024
Figure 16. Root-cause categories – trust services security incidents in the EU (reported from 2017–2024)
Over the years of trust services security incident reporting, the most common root cause has been system failures, with a total of 166 reported incidents. The percentage of system-failure-related incidents over the last 5 years has been steadily increasing.
Incidents concerning human errors have been steadily decreasing from around 40% in 2020 to 23% in 2024.
Natural phenomena is not a common root cause in trust services sector. From 2017–2024 only three incidents were reported, accounting for 1% of the total. No such incidents were reported since 2022.
Malicious actions vary across the years, with the peak of 38.9% observed during 2018 and a value as low as 5.6% recorded in 2020. In 2024, malicious actions were the root cause for 14% of the reported incidents with nine incidents. Since 2022 malicious actions remain stable at around 14%.
4.2 IMPACT SEVERITY TRENDS
In the multiannual trend concerning the severity of impact, the EU cybersecurity incident taxonomy ( ) is again followed, where the severity of the impact has the following values: no impact, minor, large and very large impact. Over time, TSPs are reporting more incidents regardless of their severity, the only difference now being 2024, which for the first time shows a decline .
It should be noted that there is a mostly linear increase in large incidents (in yellow) over the course of the last 5 years from 3 incidents in 2020 to 27 in 2024.
23
ANNUAL REPORT TRUST SERVICES SECURITY INCIDENTS 2024
Looking at large impact incidents (in yellow) we can clearly see a continued increase, reaching 27 incidents this year, despite the drop observed in 2020.
With respect to the very large impact incidents reported over time they seem to settle around 2 incidents per year.
For reference in terms of reported incidents, in 2023 we had reports from 27 member states and 3 EFTA countries, while in 2024 we have reports from 21 member states and 3 EFTA countries. This therefore, has an impact on the incidents we have received and the graphs that are displayed. Furthermore, the impact assessment methodology that supports Member States in evaluating incidents should be streamlined to ensure a consistent and comparable understanding of impact across all MS.
Figure 17. Severity of impact – trust services security incidents in the EU (reported from 2017–2024)
4.3 IMPACT ON SERVICES TRENDS
In this section, the impact per service from 2017–2024 for reported incidents for trust services is detailed in Figure 18.
It is evident that the majority of reported incidents relate to electronic signatures, with numbers averaging around the 86%. This is probably due to the fact that electronic signatures are used for authorization of transactions, financial or otherwise, while electronic seals are mostly used to ensure integrity of data. Additionally, automation is usually used with electronic seals, while electronic signatures are quite extensively used by humans as well, which leads to more incidents.
Electronic seals show a steady declining trend coming to the lowest share of 6% over the 8 years.
Electronic timestamps seem to oscillate around the 11% over the 8 years of incident reporting.
