What is the NIS2 directive?
Designed to boost cybersecurity efforts across EU, the NIS2 Directive introduces requirements for risk management and incident reporting, extends its applicability to additional sectors, and enforces high penalties for non-compliance.
The main NIS2 requirements: what you need to know
Risk management
Develop guidelines for risk assessment and information security to manage digital security threats effectively.
Incident handling plan
Create a detailed strategy for rapid response and management of potential security incidents.
Business continuity
Safeguard operational stability with regular backups, resilient recovery strategies, and effective crisis planning.
Supply chain security
Strengthen security across supplier networks by identifying risks and ensure that third-party vendors and service providers adhere to the highest security standards.
System security lifecycle
Keep security strong at every stage – from acquiring and developing systems to ongoing maintenance and vulnerability management.
Effectiveness assessment
Establish protocols to regularly review the performance of cybersecurity risk management strategies.
Cyber hygiene training
Promote critical cybersecurity habits with ongoing training and awareness initiatives for employees.
Cryptographic measures
Establish, implement, and apply detailed policies and procedures for the proper use of encryption and cryptographic tools. These policies must ensure the effective use of cryptography to protect the integrity of information.
Access control and asset oversight
Set clear guidelines for secure employee access to sensitive data and implement a detailed asset management strategy.
Advanced authentication
Integrate multi-factor authentication, ensure secure communication, and encrypt emergency access channels.
Network security
Secure networks and systems through protected architecture, segmented zones, controlled access, and managed remote connectivity.
