NIS2: The New EU Directive

The Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) is the second generation of a European regulation aiming to implement high-security standards deemed as reliable as an ISO system implementation.

Objectives:

  • Strengthen cybersecurity in critical sectors.
  • Improve cooperation among EU member states.
  • Ensure a rapid incident response.
  • Foster a security culture in the public and private sectors.

Why now?

The number of cyber-attacks and breaches is increasing dramatically, putting all systems in danger. Over the last five years, there has been a more than 60% growth in the amount of personal information and data submitted to businesses and public organisations, making it more important than ever to obtain validation that your interactions and information provided to online platforms are secure.

Who needs to comply with NIS2?

The NIS2 directive applies to the following industries and entities:

  • Critical Sectors:

    Energy, Transport, Banking, Health, Drinking Water and Infrastructure

  • Digital Service Providers:

    Online marketplaces, Search engines and Cloud computing

  • Emerging Sectors:

    Public Administration, Space, Waste Management, and Food Supply

  • All companies that strive to offer their partners and customers the best security.
