Achieve NIS2 Compliance with Confidence

Understanding NIS2 Compliance— The New Cyber Mandate for the EU

The NIS2 Directive (Directive (EU) 2022/2555) is the European Union’s upgraded cybersecurity framework, replacing the original NIS Directive to address growing digital threats. It mandates stronger controls across essential services and critical infrastructure, affecting sectors such as healthcare, energy, finance, transportation, and digital services. 

Organizations within scope must comply by October 2024. Non-compliance can result in significant financial penalties and operational consequences. 

Key focus areas include: 

• Enforcing robust identity governance and access control 

• Rapid incident reporting (within 24 hours) 

• Securing third-party and supply chain access 

• Establishing board-level accountability for cybersecurity readiness

The Cost of Non-Compliance

Failure to meet NIS2 Compliance requirements can expose organizations to: 

• Fines of up to €10 million or 2% of global annual turnover 

• Increased risk of service disruptions and data breaches 

• Reputational damage and loss of public trust 

• Legal liabilities for executive leadership 

The Hidden Complexity Behind NIS2 Compliance

Meeting NIS2 obligations involves more than checking boxes. It requires continuous governance, alignment between security and business stakeholders, and modern identity infrastructure capable of enforcing policy at scale. A modern, automated, and policy-driven Identity Governance NIS2 framework is essential to stay compliant and resilient.
