To enhance Europe’s resilience against current and future cyber threats, the NIS 2 Directive establishes new requirements and obligations for organizations in four key areas: risk management, corporate accountability, reporting obligations, and business continuity. These measures are designed to strengthen the security of network and information systems, ensuring organizations can effectively manage risks and maintain operations during and after cybersecurity incidents.
To comply with the new Directive, organizations must implement measures to minimize cyber risks. These measures include improving incident management, strengthening supply chain security, enhancing network security, improving access control, and utilizing encryption.
NIS 2 mandates that corporate management must oversee, approve, and receive training on the entity’s cybersecurity measures to address cyber risks. In case of breaches, management may face penalties, including liability and a possible temporary ban from holding management positions.
Essential and important entities are required to establish processes for promptly reporting security incidents that significantly impact their service provision or recipients. NIS 2 specifies notification deadlines, including a 24-hour "early warning" notification.
Organizations must develop a plan to ensure business continuity in the event of major cyber incidents. This plan should address system recovery, emergency procedures, and the establishment of a crisis response team.
