In response to cyber security threats, the European Union has introduced the NIS2 Directive, a comprehensive update to the original Network and Information Systems (NIS) Directive. The new regulations are set to take effect by October 17th, 2024.
In this blog, we’ll explore what the NIS2 Directive entails, why it’s crucial for your business, and how Integrity360 can help you navigate these new requirements to avoid costly penalties.
The NIS2 Directive is a significant enhancement of the original NIS Directive, aiming to further strengthen cybersecurity across the EU. It broadens the scope of organisations that need to comply, introducing stricter requirements and higher standards for incident response, risk management, and supply chain security.
Under NIS2, more sectors are brought under regulation, including:
The directive also imposes tougher obligations on senior management, making them directly accountable for non-compliance. This shift emphasises the importance of top-level commitment to cybersecurity.
Why is Compliance with NIS2 Critical?
Failure to comply with the NIS2 Directive by the Autumn 2024 deadline could have severe consequences for your organisation. Moreover, the NIS2 Directive is not just about avoiding penalties – it’s about safeguarding your organisation against the growing threats in the cyber landscape. With cyber-attacks becoming more sophisticated and frequent, adhering to NIS2 regulations ensures that your business is better protected against potential breaches.
The directive also introduces significant penalties for non-compliance, which could range from substantial fines to reputational damage that might take years to recover from.
