In Luxembourg, CSSF circular 24/847 interlocks with the law of 18 October 2024 transposing NIS 2 and the law of 1 August 2024 implementing DORA. A Luxembourg bank is typically triple-subject: CSSF (24/847), ILR/HCPN (NIS 2) and DORA art. 19 directly applicable. CSSF confirmed in its DORA FAQs that circular 24/847 remains the operational notification channel to CSSF, even after DORA's application on 17 January 2025.
Luxgap practice: we align your IRP on a triple-notification matrix CSSF + ILR + CNPD with a single decision entry point, to avoid contradictory narratives across the three authorities during a cross-cutting incident.
