Prepare for NIS2

Get a clear picture of NIS2, whether it applies to your organization, and how to take concrete steps to stay secure and compliant over time.

What you need to know about NIS2

 
What is NIS2?

The EU first introduced the Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS) in 2016 to strengthen cybersecurity for essential services like energy, water, and healthcare. In 2022, the EU adopted NIS2—an updated version that expands the scope of covered sectors, increases regulatory obligations, and introduces stricter security and reporting requirements. Its goal is to enhance Europe’s cyber resilience, ensure greater cooperation between member states, and raise the overall level of protection against growing digital threats.

 



Is NIS2 optional?

No, NIS2 sets the minimum cybersecurity standards organizations must meet. Companies operating in the EU that provide essential or important services are likely in scope and must comply, or face penalties of up to €10 million or 2% of global annual revenue (whichever is higher).

 



Why is NIS2 relevant now?

Cyber threats are increasing in both frequency and sophistication, driven by global tensions and the ease of accessing malicious tools. The EU recognizes that stronger, enforceable measures are essential for protecting economies and societies. NIS2 represents a major step toward a safer digital Europe, compelling organizations to adopt robust and proactive cybersecurity practices.

Are you impacted by NIS2?

NIS2 outlines two categories of organizations that are in scope: essential and important.
The requirements are the same for each category; however they face different supervision measures and penalty levels.

Essential Entities

Includes transport, energy, banking, financial services, water supply, digital infrastructure, healthcare, public administration, space, and wastewater.

This applies to organizations with more than 250 employees and more than €50 million in annual revenue.

Important Entities

Includes postal and courier services, manufacturing, waste management, food production and/or processing and/or distribution, digital providers, manufacturing and/or production and/or distribution of chemicals, and research.

This applies to organizations with more than 250 employees and more than €50 million in annual revenue.

How to begin your compliance journey

 Achieving compliance doesn’t happen overnight. The right approach is structured, cross-functional, and supported by leadership. 

Understand

It’s important to understand where you fall under the NIS2 directive. Place your company in the right category. Familiarize yourself with the NIS2 timeline and start making internal preparations to avoid any potential fines.

 

 

Assess

Start your NIS2 compliance journey with a gap analysis to ensure a solid understanding of where you are meeting requirements and where you are lacking. This will ensure you are focusing your efforts where they are needed most.

 

 

Align

It is important to secure strong internal support for achieving NIS2 compliance. This requires communication and education on the cyber threats faced by the organization, as well as the consequences (from financial to reputational) of a cyber-attack, in addition to the penalties related to NIS2 non-compliance.

 

 

Support

There are already tools and resources available, designed to support organizations in achieving NIS2 compliance. Make sure you select the solution that meets both the regulatory requirements as well as your own internal requirements – and that it can be easily integrated into existing tools and technology.
