Being NIS2-compliant means that a business follows the requirements of the NIS2 directive, which is the EU's new regulation for cyber security. This directive sets stricter requirements than its predecessor (NIS1) and applies to many more businesses. Being compliant is therefore about ensuring that the business meets the requirements for:

​

Information security – Protect networks and systems against threats such as hacking, malware, data leaks, etc.

Risk management – ​​Take control of risks and establish procedures to detect, prevent and manage security incidents.

Incident management and reporting – Businesses must be able to detect security incidents quickly and report them to relevant authorities within strict deadlines.

Management responsibility – Top management gets clearer responsibility, and it may become relevant with sanctions for non-compliance.

Third-party risk – There is a requirement to check with suppliers and other partners.

​

Why it is important to be NIS2 compliant:
Avoid fines and sanctions:

Violations can have major financial consequences.

Protection of the business: Better preparedness against cyber attacks and system failures.

Competitive advantage: Being able to document good security may be a requirement for obtaining agreements or public contracts.

Building trust: It strengthens the trust of customers, investors and partners in the business.
