For organizations operating in highly regulated environments, trust is built on more than technology. It requires a proven commitment to security  and compliance. That’s why we’re pleased to share an important milestone: Barracuda has achieved High certification under Spain’s National Security Framework (ENS.

The certification reinforces Barracuda’s ongoing investment in security compliance and supports our ability to help government agencies, public sector entities and their suppliers, as well as other organizations in Spain to meet demanding cybersecurity requirements.

What is Spain’s National Security Framework (ENS)?

ENS is Spain's cybersecurity framework for public sector organizations and the technology providers that support them. The framework establishes a comprehensive set of security principles, requirements and controls designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, authenticity, and traceability of information and digital services.

ENS certification demonstrates that an organization has implemented rigorous security measures and governance practices to safeguard critical systems and data. The framework includes multiple certification levels, with High representing the most stringent set of security controls and oversight requirements.

Why ENS High certification matters

As public sector organizations continue to modernize services and accelerate digital transformation, cybersecurity has become a foundational requirement. Government agencies and regulated organizations need assurance that their technology partners can help them protect sensitive information, maintain operational resilience and meet evolving compliance obligations.

By achieving ENS High certification, Barracuda demonstrates that its security practices align with the highest standards established by Spain’s National Security Framework. This provides additional confidence for customers and partners that rely on Barracuda to secure critical systems and services.

The certification strengthens Barracuda’s ability to support:

• Spanish government agencies and public sector organizations
• Government-related suppliers and contractors
• Organizations operating in highly regulated industries
• Customers seeking cybersecurity partners with independently validated security controls and governance practices

Supporting customers with security and resilience

“At Barracuda, the security of our customers and partners is everything," said Miguel Lopez, Director at Barracuda. "As public sector organizations and their suppliers across Spain continue to modernize and deliver digital services, they need confidence that their technology partners have the controls and processes in place to protect critical information and services. The ENS High certification reflects our deep commitment to support organizations across Spain with advanced security solutions that help them strengthen defenses and boost cyber resilience.”

This achievement reflects a broader commitment to helping customers navigate an increasingly complex regulatory and threat landscape while strengthening resilience against evolving cyber risks.
