NIS2 Compliance Assessment

Are you ready for NIS2 compliance? Understand your gaps and build long-term digital and operational resilience

NIS2 replaces the original NIS Directive from 2016, which sought to set a high level of cybersecurity across critical infrastructure across the EU. NIS2 is an important update, with the original NIS directive considered to have limited scope and lack of consistency in its application by member states. NIS2 therefore includes an expanded scope of EU impacted entities and a wider supervisory and coordinated regime from member states which entities will need to register with.
