Description of Activities

The fellowship addressed key limitations found in version 2.0 of the OASIS Collaborative Automated Course of Action Operations (CACAO) standard. While CACAO v2.0 introduced the first machine-readable format for cybersecurity playbooks, real-world use revealed gaps that limited interoperability and automation. The most critical issues included ambiguous schema elements, unclear execution semantics, and limited support for graphical and modular representations needed to visualize and exchange playbooks. From a European standpoint, these shortcomings directly affected operations. SOCs, CSIRTs, and critical infrastructure operators faced difficulties creating executable playbooks, hindering the coordinated responses envisioned by the NIS2 Directive, the Cyber Solidarity Act, and the EU Cyber Crisis Blueprint.

The fellowship, therefore, focused on three main goals:
1. Consolidating feedback from European and international stakeholders who implemented CACAO v2.0.
2. Designing and drafting CACAO v3.0 — a major revision introducing structural schema improvements, more precise execution semantics, and modular extensibility.
3. Aligning the work with EU cybersecurity policy and operational priorities so that standardized, machine-readable playbooks can support coordinated preparedness and response.

The effort resulted in the ongoing working CACAO v3.0 Draft Specification and accompanying validation outputs, now progressing toward formal adoption within OASIS. By resolving the main technical and semantic issues, the fellowship strengthened Europe’s role in cybersecurity standardization. It established a solid, vendor-neutral foundation for automated, collaborative cyber defense across the EU.

Impact on SMEs (9th Open Call)
The development of CACAO v3.0 directly benefits European SMEs by reducing technical and financial barriers to adopting advanced cybersecurity practices. The standard’s open and vendor-neutral design allows smaller organizations to integrate automated playbooks into their operations without relying on costly, proprietary tools. This strengthens their incident response capabilities and helps them meet the security and reporting obligations set out in the NIS2 Directive and the Cyber Solidarity Act.
Beyond SMEs, CACAO v3.0 enhances resilience across European digital infrastructure by enabling harmonized, machine-readable playbooks that support faster, coordinated responses to incidents affecting critical services such as energy, healthcare, and public administration.
Impact on society (9th Open Call)
The fellowship directly supports Europe’s goals for cyber resilience, digital sovereignty, and trust in critical infrastructure. By improving CACAO’s technical maturity and usability, the work enables more organizations—especially SMEs and public-sector entities—to adopt standardized, automated cybersecurity playbooks without reliance on proprietary technologies.

The resulting CACAO v3.0, with better schematics and semantics specification, offers easier, more coordinated responses to cyber incidents, reducing disruption to essential services such as healthcare, energy, and transport. It also reinforces cross-border cooperation and preparedness through machine-readable, reusable response procedures, enabling Member States and operators of essential services to collaborate under shared frameworks like NIS2 and the Cyber Solidarity Act.

Ultimately, this work enhances Europe’s capacity to defend against complex threats while fostering open collaboration, transparency, and interoperability—key enablers of a secure and digitally independent European society

Impact on SMEs (8th Open Call)
Europe hosts a vibrant ecosystem of start-ups and SMEs developing rehabilitation robots - systems that support relearning functional movement after neurological injury or disease. Under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), manufacturers must demonstrate compliance with the state of the art for safety and performance. For devices within scope, IEC 80601-2-78 has become the key benchmark for basic safety and essential performance of rehabilitation robots. Following publication of the first edition (2019), the joint working group initiated a second edition revision to incorporate early implementation feedback and advances in technology. As this revision progresses toward Committee Draft closure, small manufacturers can expect clearer, more practicable requirements, reducing ambiguity in design inputs, verification planning, and conformity assessment. In parallel, IEC 60601-4-1 (Technical Report) provides a shared framework to characterize and manage degrees of autonomy in medical electrical equipment and systems. current development practices with where general safety requirements are heading.
Overall, these initiatives close critical gaps for European SMEs by clarifying expectations around robotic and AI-enabled rehabilitation devices, helping them accelerate safe market access, contain compliance costs, and remain competitive across EU and global markets.
Impact on society (8th Open Call)
Rehabilitation robotics are among the earliest real-world uses of medical robots and have paved the way for broader adoption of robotics and AI in healthcare and daily living environments with vulnerable users. Clear, harmonised safety requirements and reproducible test methods
are essential - not only to protect patients and clinicians, but also to give manufacturers and providers the confidence to deploy these technologies responsibly. By codifying “state-of the-art” expectations, the standards framework enables innovation while safeguarding users.
Societal benefits enabled by robust standards include:
Patient safety and dignity: Defined limits, fail-safe behaviours, and human–robot interaction requirements reduce the risk of harm and ensure predictable performance in rehabilitation settings.
Healthcare access: Standardised safety/performance criteria help scale high-quality therapy beyond specialised centres, supporting adoption in regional hospitals and community care.
Clinician support and quality of care: Reliable, well-tested systems can deliver high-dose, repeatable training while reducing therapist physical strain, freeing time for complex clinical tasks.
Public trust and uptake: Transparent, consensus-based requirements underpin procurement, reimbursement, and clinical guidelines—building societal confidence in robotic care.
Innovation with accountability: Clear targets shorten development cycles, lower compliance ambiguity for SMEs, and focus competition on outcomes and usability rather than ad-hoc safety interpretations.
The degree-of-autonomy guidance further generalises these protections to any medical product using robotic or AI technologies. By providing a common language for autonomy levels and the associated safety controls and human oversight, it supports ethically aligned, trustworthy deployment of AI-enabled medical devices across care pathways, from clinics to homes.

Description of Activities

My fellowship focuses on standardizing Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) for sustainable asset management, addressing gaps in digital asset representation, regulatory clarity, and ESG alignment. It supports innovation, transparency, and interoperability in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), in line with EU priorities.
Current NFT-based RWA systems lack harmonised frameworks, causing fragmentation in asset tracking, legal recognition, and compliance. This hinders adoption across supply chains, carbon markets, and IP management. My project proposes a cross-industry standard to ensure interoperability, regulatory alignment, and lifecycle transparency.
In this sense, the there are two major priorities for this action, including: 
Standardized Multi-Asset Tokenization that enables NFT-based tracking of physical, environmental, and intangible assets. It also enhances lifecycle transparency, supports the circular economy, and ensures blockchain interoperability.
Digital Product Passport (DPP) to align NFTs with DPP for end-to-end traceability, compliance, and ESG reporting.This strengthens supply chain transparency and EU circular economy goals.

The key Challenges related to my activity are: 
Regulatory Uncertainty: Lack of clear NFT standards impedes legal and policy alignment. This initiative ensures conformity with EU law and ISO.
Adoption Barriers: Fragmented governance limits integration. Standardisation enhances technical and regulatory trust.
Sustainability Concerns: Energy-intensive DLTs are problematic. This activity promotes efficient models aligned with the Green Deal.

Consequently, this project positions Europe as a leader in NFT standardisation, fostering secure, compliant, and sustainable digital ecosystems.

Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
My contribution to standardising NFTs for sustainable asset management directly benefits European SMEs and societies by enabling trustworthy, interoperable, and regulatory-compliant tokenisation of real-world assets. For SMEs, this ensures more straightforward access to tokenisation frameworks, reducing costs, risks, and compliance barriers when integrating NFTs into supply chains, intellectual property, and sustainability tracking. Standardisation also enhances digital product traceability, supporting SME participation in the EU’s Digital Product Passport (DPP) initiative.
This standard actively enhances SME inclusion and access to innovation. By creating standardised, easy-to-adopt models for NFT-based asset tracking and DPP compliance, I help lower barriers for SMEs to engage in the green and digital transition. These tools enable them to demonstrate environmental accountability, meet regulatory requirements, and participate in new markets with confidence.
Impact on SMEs (9th Open Call)
My contribution directly supports European SMEs by lowering the barriers to adoption of trusted digital tools for sustainability, traceability, and compliance. Through the standardisation of tokenisation frameworks (ISO PWI 25315), SMEs can more easily issue verifiable digital representations of their products and services, aligned with EU regulations such as the Digital Product Passport (DPP), CSRD, ESPR, and MiCA.
This enables SMEs to participate in data-driven value chains, prove ESG performance, access impact finance, and engage with global supply networks, without relying on costly proprietary platforms. The work promotes interoperability, inclusion, and compliance-by-design, giving SMEs a scalable way to enter the digital economy while staying aligned with European values of fair access, innovation, and transparency.
Impact on society (7th Open Call)
This work has a range of societal impacts by embedding ethical, inclusive, and sustainability-driven principles into the standardisation of NFT-based tokenisation. By advancing a modular framework for the tokenisation of multi-asset classes, including physical goods, environmental assets, and digital identity, I am contributing to a future where transparency, accountability, and accessibility are foundational features of digital economies.
One major societal impact is the promotion of climate-conscious digital infrastructure. Through my alignment with the EU Green Deal, ISO 14097, and CIRPASS2, I have advanced tokenisation models that enable lifecycle tracking, ESG reporting, and carbon footprint disclosures, empowering organisations and communities to make data-driven, sustainable choices.
Second, the integration of semantic interoperability and decentralised identity contributes to human-centred, rights-respecting digital governance. It allows individuals and communities to verify data, control asset provenance, and participate in decentralised systems with greater security and agency.
Finally, through my role in INATBA and ISO, I have championed cross-sector collaboration on social impact tokenisation, bridging technology with policy to ensure that standards reflect public interest and global equity. These efforts strengthen citizen trust, digital sovereignty, and the ethical deployment of blockchain infrastructure at scale.

Impact on society (5th Open Call)
In the broader European context, my fellowship is poised to have a significant impact on cybersecurity practices, aligning with the objectives set forth by the Cybersecurity Act (CSA) and advancing European interests in bolstering digital security.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
My primary focus is on developing standardized verification methodologies for cryptographic protocols, which play a key role in enhancing cybersecurity practices across Europe. I am working on creating robust frameworks for verifying these protocols within ICT products, services, and processes, ultimately contributing to greater resilience against cyber threats.
The Cybersecurity Act (CSA) promotes the use of certification as an effective cybersecurity tool that can be applied consistently across Member States without creating unnecessary administrative burdens. Previously, products or services certified in one country often had to undergo similar procedures again when different national requirements were in place.
With the introduction of the European Cybersecurity Certification (EUCC) scheme, however, certificates issued under this framework will be legally recognized across all Member States once the corresponding Implementing Act is in force. This harmonization is essential for reducing duplicated efforts, saving time and resources, and ensuring consistent cybersecurity standards throughout Europe.

Gaining the customer confidence they are using secure and safe ICT products is the objective of security assessment. Considering technical complexity of cybersecurity evaluation these processes should rely on robust and mature standards. The customers and risk owners do not need to know all details of such evaluation, but they should have solid ground of trust in the results of evaluations usually expressed by the certificates.
Common Criteria provide highly sophisticated tools for gaining confidence in correct and sufficient implementations of security controls under the principles of the “cybersecurity-by-design-and-default” in the ICT products and the ground of their resilience in case of cyberattacks which could happen in the future.
