The NIS 2 Directive (EU) 2022/2555 is Europe’s answer to growing cyber threats, expanding the scope and depth of the original NIS Directive to ensure a higher level of cybersecurity resilience across critical sectors.
But here’s the catch: Compliance isn’t optional anymore. Organizations falling under the NIS 2 scope—whether public or private—must now implement stricter security measures, risk management policies, and incident reporting mechanisms. That’s where NIS 2 Lead Implementers come in.
💼 What Is the NIS 2 Directive?
The Network and Information Security (NIS 2) Directive is a European Union law designed to boost the overall level of cybersecurity across the EU. It applies to a broader set of entities than before—from energy and healthcare to digital infrastructure, public administration, and beyond.
This means thousands of organizations across the EU are now required to:
-
Conduct risk assessments and apply state-of-the-art security measures
-
Report significant incidents within 24 hours
-
Ensure business continuity and disaster recovery planning
-
Monitor third-party suppliers for compliance
-
Appoint responsible officers and ensure board-level accountability
The penalty for non-compliance? Severe financial fines and reputational damage.
