NIS2 Compliance Network and Information Systems Directive 2
Strengthen cybersecurity resilience in critical infrastructures. We help organizations in essential and important sectors comply with reinforced security requirements and NIS2 incident notification obligations.
Understanding NIS2
The NIS2 Directive is comprehensive EU cybersecurity legislation that significantly expands requirements for critical infrastructure and essential service providers.
Effective as of October 2024, NIS2 applies to medium and large organizations across 18 sectors, demanding enhanced risk management, incident notification within a 24-hour window, and supply chain security measures.
NIS2 introduces personal liability for management bodies and substantial fines of up to €10 million or 2% of global turnover, emphasizing the strategic importance of cybersecurity governance.

Common NIS2 Challenges
Organizations face multiple obstacles in achieving and maintaining NIS2 compliance.
Scope Determination
Determining if your organization falls under the essential or important entity category, understanding sector-specific requirements, and mapping dependencies can be complex.
Supply Chain Visibility
NIS2 demands comprehensive supply chain security measures, requiring visibility and control over third and fourth-party risks.
Incident Notification
The 24-hour early warning requirement demands mature detection capabilities and agile processes for incident assessment and reporting.
