Cybersecurity is an increasing priority for many businesses. The NIS2 Directive (EU) 2022/2555, the Network and Information Security Directive, was adopted by the European Union in December 2022 and entered into force on 16 January 2023. It focuses on improving the digital and economic resilience of EU Member States.

NIS2 expands the scope of the (first) NIS directive by covering more sectors. It also sets stricter security standards and incident reporting requirements.

EU Member States were required to transpose the Directive into national legislation by 17 October 2024. Organisations covered by the applicable national NIS2 legislation therefore need to understand the requirements and take the necessary actions.

Understanding the Directive

NIS2 introduces cybersecurity risk-management requirements and measures that organisations need to address.
The EU Directive distinguishes between essential and important entities and covers 18 sectors listed in Annexes I and II.
In particular, it mandates risk management practices, incident reporting procedures and security policies.
The requirements also include supply-chain security, including security-related aspects concerning an organisation’s relationships with its direct suppliers and service providers.
Organisations within the scope of applicable national NIS2 legislation need to allocate the necessary budget and resources to meet their obligations.

NIS2 Executive Training

To support in understanding and implementing the required actions, we offer a training programme for management teams. Article 20 of the NIS2 Directive requires members of the management bodies of essential and important entities to follow training. Our NIS2 Executive training is designed for management teams that want to develop the knowledge needed to understand cybersecurity risks and their responsibilities under NIS2.

In the training, you will learn about the controls, governance, legal aspects and more. After the training, you will be able to determine the impact for your organization and know what actions to take to protect your organization from cyber threats.
