Explore the critical steps and strategies your business needs to follow to ensure full compliance with the NIS2 Directive.
The Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS2) brings an important update to the regulatory framework designed to improve the cybersecurity posture of critical sectors across the European Union. As the deadline for NIS2 implementation approaches, it's critical for organizations to understand whether they need to comply and, if so, what steps they need to take to ensure full compliance.
The Network and Information Systems Directive 2 (NIS2) is an evolution of the first NIS Directive, which was introduced in 2016 and implemented in 2018. NIS2 aims to strengthen the security of network and information systems in the Union. It extends the scope to cover more sectors and digital services, emphasizing the need for enhanced security measures by critical service providers and digital service platforms. The objective of the Directive is to harmonize the cyber security practices in the Member States and to ensure that the collective resilience against cyber threats is strong and uniform.
