NIS2: What is changing in cybersecurity legislation and how does it affect your business
The security of information systems and networks is now a top priority for every business. With the rapid digitalization of services and the rise in cyber threats, the European Union has upgraded its regulatory framework for cybersecurity by introducing the new NIS2 Directive.
What is NIS2?
NIS2 (Network and Information Security Directive 2) is the new European directive that replaces the original NIS and sets stricter requirements for the protection of networks and information systems. Its goal is to strengthen the resilience of businesses against cyber threats and ensure the smooth operation of critical infrastructures and services.
Who does NIS2 affect?
NIS2 significantly expands its scope, now covering more sectors and businesses. Specifically, it applies to:
Businesses operating in sectors such as energy, transport, health, banking and financial services, digital infrastructure, cloud providers, data centers, ICT providers, and other critical sectors.
Medium and large enterprises that provide essential or important services, regardless of whether they are public or private.
If your business belongs to any of the above sectors, it is very likely that it falls under the requirements of NIS2.
What obligations does NIS2 bring for businesses?
Compliance with NIS2 requires businesses to take specific measures, such as:
Strengthening technical and organizational security measures.
Adopting risk and incident management policies.
Immediate reporting of serious cybersecurity incidents to the relevant authorities.
Training staff on information security issues.
Continuous monitoring and assessment of security systems.
Non-compliance with NIS2 requirements can result in significant fines and penalties.
