NIS2 Directive: Compliance Quick Guide
Comply with NIS2 security standards (Article 21)
Obligation: Organizations may need to use certified ICT products/services under EU cybersecurity schemes to comply with NIS2 security standards (Article 21).
Action: Invest in certified technologies to meet compliance requirements in each Member State.
Assess how NIS2 changes your Risk Management Strategy (Internal Impact)
Scope: Essential and important entities face significant penalties for non-compliance, including those outside the EU offering services within it.
Action: Assess inclusion in NIS2 scope, especially for multinational and EU-focused service providers.
Use NIS2 Mandates to Strenghten IT and OT Integration and Security
Challenge: Converging IT and OT increases vulnerability. NIS2 mandates strong cybersecurity for physical and digital systems.
Action: Follow IEC 62443 standards to secure IT-OT systems, minimizing cyber-physical risks.
Simplify your Compliance Management Program
Issue: Managing multiple regulatory frameworks independently is costly and inefficient.
Solution: Use a unified compliance framework (e.g., GRC tools like KPMG Sofy GRC) to streamline regulatory efforts and centralize monitoring.
Have NIS2 Readiness As Part of Overall Strategy
Executive Awareness: Brief C-suite, especially COO and CISO, on NIS2 impacts, emphasizing cybersecurity as a board-level priority.
Baseline Assessment: Conduct risk assessments using frameworks (e.g., C2M2) to establish cybersecurity maturity.
Remediation: Implement immediate “Fix-it” initiatives to address critical risks.
Ownership: Designate clear IT and OT risk ownership with automated GRC monitoring for accountability.
Updat your Cybersecurity Training & Awareness
Requirement: Regular training for management and employees to ensure cybersecurity knowledge and resilience.
Action: Roll out cybersecurity awareness programs organization-wide.
Outcome: Early NIS2 compliance strengthens organizational resilience, ensuring protection of critical EU infrastructure and minimizing operational risks.
