What is the NIS 2 Directive?


The NIS 2 Directive, also known as the Network and Information Security Directive, is a significant piece of legislation aimed at improving cyber security and protecting critical infrastructure across the European Union (EU). It builds upon the previous NIS Directive, addressing its shortcomings and expanding its scope to enhance security requirements, reporting obligations, and crisis management capabilities. Compliance with the NIS 2 Directive is crucial for businesses operating in the EU to safeguard their systems, mitigate cyber threats, and ensure resilience.

The European Commission has published on 16 January 2023 the final text of the NIS 2 Directive - high common level of cybersecurity across the Union, which means that by 17 October 2024 Luxembourg and other member states, must adopt and publish a national legislation incorporating the provisions of the NIS 2.

What are the risks for entities?

With the NIS 2 Directive, the sanction regime is strengthened. An organization that fails to implement appropriate risk management measures or fails to promptly notify a security incident for example, risks a fine proportionate to its turnover and level of criticality. Companies may thus be subject to fines of 7 Mo€ or 1.4% of their worldwide turnover for Important Entities and 10 Mo€ or to 2% of their worldwide turnover for Important Entities (whichever one is larger).

In addition, European Union member states have the authority to require entities to undergo audits or inspections. If necessary, they can issue warnings and instructions.
