FAQ about NIS-2
NIS-2 stands for the Network and Information Systems Security Directive. It is a European directive that obliges companies to improve their IT security and better protect themselves against cyberattacks. NIS-2 replaces the previous NIS Directive and sets higher cybersecurity standards.
The digital world is becoming increasingly interconnected and therefore more vulnerable to cyberattacks. NIS-2 aims to strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructure and digital services in the EU. Companies that fail to meet the requirements of NIS-2 risk hefty fines and reputational damage.
NIS-2 affects a wide range of businesses, including:
- Companies in specific sectors such as energy, transport, financial services, healthcare and digital infrastructure
- Companies that exceed a certain size and meet certain criteria
If you are unsure whether you and your company are affected, you can conduct an impact assessment via the BSI: NIS-2 Impact Assessment
To meet all relevant compliance requirements, you should implement a comprehensive compliance management system that includes regular audits, risk assessments, and updating your security policies.
The specific requirements of NIS-2 can vary depending on the company and industry. Generally, companies must:
- Conduct a risk analysis
- Implement technical and organisational measures to improve IT security
- Report incidents
- Ensuring continuous improvement of IT security
The most important measures include:
- Risk analysis: Identification and assessment of vulnerabilities
- Access control: Restricting access to sensitive data
- Encryption: Protection of data at rest and during transmission
- Emergency planning: Development of plans in case of a cyberattack
- Raising employee awareness: Training employees on IT security
- Supplier management: Ensuring IT security at suppliers
Implementing NIS-2 offers numerous advantages:
- Increased security: Protection against cyberattacks and data loss
- Increased competitiveness: Demonstrating a high level of IT security to customers and business partners
- Compliance: Fulfilling legal requirements and avoiding fines
- Image enhancement: Strengthening the company's image
Companies that fail to comply with NIS-2 requirements can be subject to heavy fines. Furthermore, they may suffer reputational damage, which can lead to business losses.
- Impact assessment: Check whether your company is affected by NIS-2.
- Gap analysis: Identify weaknesses in your IT infrastructure.
