Earlier this year, CNES published its Cybersecurity Hygiene Guide for Orbital Systems, and we’re taking a closer look at one of its key elements: the regulatory map we helped create to guide space stakeholders through evolving European and international requirements.
With the EU Space Act proposal published in late June 2025, this framework is more relevant to understand the ecosystem clearly.
Rather than just being a list of rules, this framework brings together:
🌍 Leading international cybersecurity standards
🇪🇺 European and 🇫🇷 French legislative frameworks
💡 Practical insights and lessons learned from across the space sector
Why does this matter?
Because as cyber-threats grow more sophisticated and regulations evolve, space operators need a clear, reliable reference point. This framework helps them anticipate change, stay compliant, and speak the same “security language” across the entire ecosystem.
In an era where space is both a frontier and a target, having a shared regulatory foundation is key to safeguarding sovereignty and building resilience.

A huge thank you to CNES for their trust, and to every contributor who helped shape this essential step for the future of space cybersecurity.
