As of July 2024, the new NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/2555), a regulation of the European Parliament and the Council that aims to strengthen the common level of cybersecurity across the European Union, comes into force. This legislation represents a decisive step towards operational resilience and critical infrastructure protection, and will have a direct impact on thousands of public and private organizations.
What is the NIS2 Directive?
The NIS2 Directive replaces the previous NIS1 and significantly expands its scope. It is a legal framework that obliges companies to adopt stringent cybersecurity measures to prevent, detect, manage and report IT security incidents that may affect essential services.
Its entry into force implies new responsibilities and compliance requirements for a much larger number of entities that were not previously subject to this regulation.
What new features does it introduce?
The NIS2 Directive incorporates the following key new features:
- Expansion of the scope of application: now includes more sectors (energy, health, transportation, financial, digital, public administration, among others) and affects both medium and large companies.
- Mandatory risk management: implementation of technical, operational and organizational measures to manage cybersecurity risks is required.
- Mandatory incident reporting: Specific deadlines are set for reporting any significant incident.
- Tougher sanctioning regime: Non-compliance can lead to very high financial penalties.
Even organizations that are not directly under the NIS2 umbrella will have to adapt if they are part of the supply chain of a critical entity.
