Autumn brings a shift in the European cybersecurity landscape – the NIS2 Directive comes into force. This cybersecurity directive aims to improve the resilience and response to security incidents of both the public and private sectors in the EU and can thus be seen as a response to the increasing threat landscape in IT.

What does this mean for your company? In short: It is time to take action because the requirements for the security of your networks and data are becoming stricter.

From NIS1 to NIS2: Expanded Obligations in Cybersecurity

In 2016, the EU laid the foundation for a unified cybersecurity policy with NIS1. It focused on essential service providers in sectors such as energy, health, and finance.

NIS2 takes it a step further and encompasses a broader range of companies, including medium and large enterprises with more than 50 employees and an annual turnover of over 10 million euros. By extending to sectors like food, manufacturing, and telecommunications, NIS2 underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity.

What changes?

Unified Standards: The EU aims to implement ‘uniform criteria’ for network and information systems to ensure these companies meet the same high-security standards.

Stricter Sanctions: Violations can lead to fines of up to 10 million euros or 2% of annual turnover.

Which companies are affected?

  • Medium and large enterprises with more than 50 employees
  • An annual turnover of over 10 million euros
  • The directive specifically affects sectors such as wastewater, waste disposal, space, chemicals, food, manufacturing, postal and courier services, telecommunications, research, public administration, and ICT service management.
