NIS2
Fortifying network integrity, ensuring compliance
The EU’s NIS2 Directive marks a significant enhancement to the original NIS Directive, broadening the scope to cover more sectors and introducing more stringent cybersecurity measures. Aimed at boosting the resilience of critical infrastructure, NIS2 applies to sectors such as energy, healthcare, transport, banking, and digital services. This directive responds to the growing sophistication of cyber threats, setting new standards for network security and incident response.
Key Legal Considerations for Affected Businesses:
- Expanded Scope and Sector Impact: NIS2 includes more industries under its umbrella, requiring entities to understand whether their operations fall within its scope. The directive applies not just to large organizations but also to certain medium-sized companies in critical sectors.
- Compliance Obligations: New obligations include stricter security measures, mandatory risk management protocols, and comprehensive reporting requirements for significant incidents. Businesses need to be prepared for enhanced regulatory scrutiny and potential penalties for non-compliance.
