Does your business fall under the NIS2 Directive? The EU’s updated cybersecurity framework under NIS2 significantly raises the bar compared to its predecessor (NIS1) - going beyond traditional critical sectors and capturing a much wider range of organisations, including many operating in digital and industrial environments. This means new expectations around cyber risk management, incident reporting, governance oversight and increased regulatory scrutiny, including potential financial penalties for non-compliance. Many organisations may already be in scope without being fully aware of it. To help you take a practical first step, we have developed a short self-assessment tool to help you check whether NIS2 is likely to apply to your business.
