How Nanitor Supports NIS2 Compliance

The European Union's NIS2 Directive is set to become a cornerstone of cybersecurity standards, particularly for critical infrastructure companies. Officially known as “Directive (EU) 2022/2555 on measures for a high common level of cybersecurity across the Union,” NIS2 replaces the old NIS directive and comes into full effect on October 18, 2024.

The directive aims to create a high and uniform level of cybersecurity across EU member states, extending its reach to more industries and imposing stricter requirements for incident reporting and supply chain security.

NIS2 Directive Overview

NIS2 extends its applicability to a wider range of sectors and enhances cooperation between EU member states.

It introduces new requirements, such as stricter penalties, greater focus on supply chains, and the top management's responsibility for cybersecurity.

Companies, termed as "essential entities" and "important entities," must adhere to these stringent requirements to ensure robust cybersecurity measures are in place.
