What is EU NIS2?
EU NIS2 is the latest directive established by the European Union to strengthen cybersecurity and resilience across critical sectors. Building on the original NIS (Network and Information Systems) Directive, NIS2 introduces enhanced requirements for risk management, incident reporting, and cooperation among member states. This directive aims to ensure that organizations operating in essential sectors, like energy, transportation, and healthcare, as well as providers of digital services, implement adequate cybersecurity measures to protect against disruptions and cyber threats.
EU NIS2 not only addresses the evolving landscape of cyber threats but also mandates a higher level of security across the supply chain. The directive emphasizes the need for organizational, technical, and operational measures to mitigate risks and ensure business continuity.
What organizations must comply with EU NIS2?
EU NIS2 applies to a wide range of organizations that are considered essential to the functioning of society and the economy within the European Union. This includes both public and private entities across various sectors, such as:
Digital service providers:
Cloud service providers, online marketplaces, and search engines must implement EU NIS2 standards to protect the integrity and availability of digital services.
Transport operators:
Entities involved in air, rail, water, and road transport must comply with EU NIS2 to ensure the security and resilience of critical transportation networks.
Financial institutions:
Banks, insurance companies, and other financial service providers are required to implement NIS2 measures to protect against cyber threats that could disrupt financial stability.
Healthcare providers:
Hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and other healthcare services must comply with EU NIS2 to protect patient data and ensure the uninterrupted delivery of healthcare services.
Energy companies:
Organizations involved in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, oil, and gas are required to adhere to EU NIS2 to safeguard critical energy infrastructure.
EU NIS2 Compliance Focus Areas
Organizations must focus on the following areas to ensure compliance with EU NIS2:
- Risk management and security policies
Organizations under the EU NIS2 Directive must conduct thorough risk assessments and develop strong security policies for their information systems. This includes regularly updating policies and procedures to ensure all cybersecurity measures are effective and up to date.
- Cryptography and data protection
Compliance requires using cryptography, including encryption policies, to protect sensitive data. These measures must be implemented where relevant to secure information assets.
- Incident handling and response
Organizations need a clear plan for handling security incidents, ensuring they are managed with minimal disruption. This includes procedures for incident detection, reporting and response.
- System security and vulnerability management
Security must be embedded in the procurement, development and operation of systems, with procedures in place for handling and reporting vulnerabilities throughout the system lifecycle.
- Employee training and data access security
Cybersecurity training and basic computer hygiene are essential. Organizations should provide ongoing education, particularly for employees with access to sensitive data, and maintain secure procedures for data access.
- Business continuity and system access
To ensure continuity during and after security incidents, organizations must have up-to-date backups and plans for maintaining IT system access. This includes multifactor authentication and encryption for communications.
- Supply chain security
Supply chain security is crucial. Organizations must assess and manage risks associated with suppliers, implementing measures tailored to each supplier’s vulnerabilities and conducting overall security assessments across the supply chain.
