Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/532 has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The RTS cover:
- Proportionality and the application of the requirements within groups.
- Due diligence and risk assessment obligations that apply to financial entities when they use sub-contractors that support critical or important functions.
- Requirements relating to the conditions under which ICT services supporting critical or important functions may be sub-contracted and the terms of the contractual arrangements between the financial entity and the ICT third-party service provider.
- What happens when material changes are made to sub-contracting arrangements of ICT services supporting critical or important functions.
- The financial entity's right to terminate the contract with the ICT third-party service provider in certain situations.
The Delegated Regulation enters into force on 22 July.
