In today’s digital world, cyber threats are multiplying rapidly and affecting all kinds of organizations. That’s where NIS2, the new European cybersecurity directive, comes in.
But what is it really about? And why is it so important? Let’s find out together.
🔍Why is NIS2 crucial today?
- – Because a more secure digital environment is needed. NIS2 raises the level of security for a much larger number of organizations than ever before.
- – Because we live in an era marked by geopolitical tensions, increasingly sophisticated attacks, and constant misinformation.
- – Because most cyber attacks go unreported. Victims often choose silence, even in the face of authorities.
- – Remember the public school data breach in North Carolina? Just the tip of the iceberg.
- – Some estimates speak of 70%-95% of cybercrimes going unreported.
- – However, concerns are growing: how onerous will the new obligations be for SMEs? There is no shortage of challenges: know-how, economic resources, strategies, compliance
📘 What changes with NIS2?
- It is an update of the 2016 EU cybersecurity regulations.
- It broadens the scope: in addition to energy, banking or transportation, it now involves public administration, healthcare, food, culture, welfare, and more.
- Thirteen compliance policies are introduced that touch on aspects such as networking, supply chain, business continuity, risk management, access, cybersecurity, and recovery.
- New obligations are included on:
- security measures
- incident reporting
- -domain traceability
- governance responsibilities (Art. 7, 23-25, 29, 30).
- Penalties are more stringent. Deadlines are already in place: April, May, January and October 2026 are key milestones for compliance.
