The NIS2 Directive is the European Union’s enhanced framework for cybersecurity, targeting essential and important entities. It fosters a proactive approach to managing risks, safeguarding critical infrastructure, and ensuring organizational resilience against cyber threats.
The NIS2 Directive introduces new requirements and obligations in four overarching areas:
- Risk management: Organizations must take measures to minimize cyber risks including incident management, stronger supply chain security, enhanced network security, better access control, and encryption.
- Reporting obligations: Essential and important entities must have processes in place for prompt reporting of security incidents.
- Corporate accountability: NIS2 requires corporate management to oversee, approve, and be trained on the entity’s cyber security measures and to address cyber risks.
- Business continuity: Organizations must have a plan in place that includes considerations about system recovery, emergency procedures, and setting up a crisis response team for ensuring business continuity.
Why should NIS2 compliance matter to you?
NIS2 compliance isn’t just a legal requirement; it’s a cornerstone for robust cybersecurity. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, operational disruptions, and reputational damage. Beyond enforcement, adhering to NIS2 builds trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders by demonstrating a commitment to protecting sensitive data and infrastructure.
