National legislation is harmonised with the EU eIDAS regulation proven in a self-assessment report according to eIDAS Article 14 checklist

Review of government documentation to verify that there is a self-assessment report conducted according to eIDAS Article 14 (Assessment Check-List), presenting a structured approach covering the four pillars (legal context, supervision and auditing, best practice, trust representation) described in ETSI TR 103 684, where administrations check their compliance with the minimum legal requirements.

The state offers a secure electronic identity to the citizens

Review of government documents to assess the existence of a state-offered secure electronic identity (eID).

The use of an electronic identity and signature is free of charge for individuals

Review of government documents to verify that the use of an electronic identity and signature is free of charge for individuals.

Public sector entities accepting electronic signatures in their information systems (%)

Assess the share of public entities accepting electronic signatures in their information systems. Data extracted from a digital infrastructure catalogue (if it exists). Points are allocated based on the calculated percentage (x), where the denominator is the total number of public entities having information systems and the numerator is the number of public entities which have information systems that accept electronic signatures: • x < 33% = 0 points. • 33% ≤ x < 95% = linear function. • x ≥ 95% = 3 points.

Public sector entities accepting the national eID in their digital service delivery and administrative processes (%)

Assess the share of public entities accepting the national eID in their digital service delivery and administrative processes. Data extracted from a digital infrastructure catalogue (if it exists). Points are allocated based on the calculated percentage (x), where the denominator is the total number of public entities offering electronic services through portals or apps, and the numerator is the number of public entities which accept the national eID to logín in the portals or apps: • x < 33% = 0 points. • 33% ≤ x < 95% = linear function. • x ≥ 95% = 3 points.

Regular use of the national eID for authentication (%)

Assess the use of the national eID for authentication, calculated based on inputs/data requests from the national eID certification authorities as they usually keep user statistics on unique users in a timeframe. The use of the national eID for authentication is considered regular if it happens at least every 12 months. Points are allocated based on the calculated percentage (x), where the denominator is the total number of unique users of electronic services offered by the central public administration (the sum of the users of all portals or apps of the central public administration), and the numerator is the number of unique users that have authenticated using the national eID: • x < 33% = 0 points. • 33% ≤ x < 95% = linear function. • x ≥ 95% = 3 points.
