The NIS2 Directive is the latest European regulation that requires essential and key sectors to significantly strengthen their network and information security.

Cyberplan helps your organization understand what NIS2 means, who it applies to, and how to become technically compliant quickly and clearly.

What is NIS2 and why is it important for your business?

The Network and Information Systems Directive 2 (NIS2) is a new European cybersecurity directive aimed at raising the security level of network and information systems within critical and important sectors.

It requires organizations to actively strengthen their cybersecurity, address vulnerabilities and resilience, and manage incidents quickly and effectively.

Implemented in the Cybersecurity Act, NIS2 focuses primarily on organizations that are considered providers of essential services.

It has officially been in force since Jan. 16, 2023, with a deadline for implementation in national legislation no later than Oct. 17, 2024.

Who is covered by the NIS2 directive?

The NIS2 directive applies to both “essential” and “significant” entities, depending on the sector and size of the organization.

Essential Entities
These are large organizations in sectors such as energy, transportation, healthcare and digital infrastructure. They have at least 250 employees, an annual turnover of more than €50 million or a balance sheet total of more than €43 million.
Major entities
Medium-sized organizations in critical sectors or large organizations in less critical sectors. These companies have at least 50 employees and an annual turnover or balance sheet total of more than €10 million.
In addition, suppliers of services to these industries must also comply with the NIS2 directive. The size of the company plays an important role in determining the specific obligations under NIS2.
