What is NIS2
The NIS2 Directive helps to establish the framework for securing a company’s assets. Compared to the previous NIS1, a significantly larger number of companies and sectors are now subject to the regulations.
The goal is to ensure that the security level is consistent across EU countries. This means you need to pay more attention to aspects such as risk management, control, and oversight.
With the NIS2 Directive, the requirements have been tightened, and the penalties for non-compliance have become stricter.
A range of risk-based measures must be implemented, including those for the prevention and management of security incidents, data storage and processing security, as well as plans for handling incidents in the event of a cyberattack.
Are your ready for NIS2 implementation?
Specifically, this means that companies need to implement a series of measures to meet the requirements of NIS2. These include, among other things, ensuring control over:
- Risik analysis and security policy
- Crisis management
- Supply chain security and security-related aspects regarding the
- connections between the company and its suppliers
- Business continuity
- Incident management (prevention, detection, and response to incidents)
- Encryption
- Policies and procedures (testing and auditing) to assess the effectiveness of measures for managing cybersecurity risks.
Focus on Management Responsibility
NIS2 is not an issue to be solved by the IT department alone – it is a management responsibility! Management must understand the requirements of the directive and lead the risk management efforts. They have direct accountability for ensuring compliance with these requirements.
Increased Requirements for Risk Management and Resilience:
The organization must implement measures to prevent and mitigate damage. This includes incident management, cyber security in supply chains, network security, access control, and encryption.
Business Continuity:
Reporting to Authorities:
- Processes must be put in place for proper reporting to the relevant authorities.
- Major incidents must be reported within 24 hours.
