NIS2 (Network and Information Systems Security Directive)

The NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Systems Security Directive 2) is the new European cybersecurity standard for critical infrastructure and essential services. Its transposition into law is already underway, and failure to comply may result in fines, negative audit outcomes, reputational harm, and serious operational disruptions.

NIS2 significantly expands the scope of the original 2016 NIS Directive, introducing stricter cybersecurity requirements for a broader range of sectors and organizations, with a strong focus on supply chain security. The directive’s main goal is to ensure a high level of protection for critical information systems across all EU member states.

Organizations subject to the NIS2 Directive are divided into:

Essential entities: energy, transportation, banking, financial market infrastructures, healthcare, drinking water supply and distribution, digital infrastructure, public administration, and space.

Important entities: postal and courier services, waste management, production of chemicals, manufacturing of medical devices, electronics, machinery, motor vehicles, food, research, and digital services.

Argo Cyber conducts a preliminary classification analysis to determine whether the Directive applies to your organization.

Main Obligations of NIS2

Organizations subject to the Directive must:

Adopt appropriate technical and organizational measures, including access controls, encryption, vulnerability management, backup and recovery procedures, and continuous security monitoring.
Draft cybersecurity policies covering risk analysis, information systems security, incident management, business continuity, and supply chain security.
Manage vulnerabilities by implementing systematic processes for identifying, assessing, and handling vulnerabilities, including regular patch management and vulnerability assessments.
Notify significant incidents to the competent authorities within 24 hours of becoming aware of the event, followed by detailed reports within one month.
Conduct regular security tests and audits to verify the effectiveness of implemented measures and identify areas for improvement.
Maintain ongoing cybersecurity training and awareness programs for all employees, with a focus on critical roles and corporate decision-makers.
