The Network and Information Systems Directive 2 (NIS2) is an update to the European Union's cybersecurity regulations, designed to bolster the cybersecurity posture of enterprises within the EU by setting even higher standards and enhancing cooperation among member states.
The NIS2, which comes into effect in October 2024, expands coverage to more sectors to include essential and important entities beyond just critical infrastructure. With potential penalties reaching €10 million or 2% of global revenue, compliance is essential.
Enterprises must adopt robust cybersecurity practices, including risk management, incident detection, and response strategies. Implementing both technical and organizational measures is crucial to safeguard their systems.
Organizations are required to report significant security incidents to the relevant authorities within 24 hours of detection. The report must detail the nature of the incident, its impact, and the mitigation efforts taken.
The NIS2 highlights the importance of managing risks from suppliers and service providers. Enterprises must assess and address cybersecurity vulnerabilities within their supply chains.
Senior management is expected to be actively involved in cybersecurity governance. Cybersecurity must be integrated into the overall risk management framework, with regular audits demonstrating compliance.
The directive promotes collaboration and information sharing between member states to strengthen collective cybersecurity resilience.
