The NIS1 directive was introduced as the EU’s initial cybersecurity legislation to enhance the ability of network and information systems to withstand cyber risks. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has expanded the range of threats, necessitating the development of new measures.
The European Commission recognized certain shortcomings in the existing NIS1, including:
Consequently, in December 2020, the Commission put forth new regulations aimed at reinforcing cyber resilience within the EU, which were subsequently adopted in November 2022.
The NIS2 is a directive which means that it will have to be implemented with national legislation. The member states in the EU must do so before 18 October 2024.
The NIS2 directive covers entities from the following sectors:
Essential sectors:
Important sectors:
While both essential and important sectors are required to adhere to the same security measures, there is a difference in the level of supervision. Entities classified as “essential” are subject to proactive supervision, meaning they are monitored regularly to ensure compliance. On the other hand, “important” entities are monitored only in response to reported incidents of non-compliance.
This differentiation aims to prioritize the continuous operation and resilience of critical services while still ensuring that all entities maintain the necessary security measures to protect against cyber threats.
The NIS2 establishes a comprehensive framework for supervisory and enforcement activities across Member States. Competent authorities are responsible for overseeing essential and important entities’ compliance with the regulations. Supervisory measures include audits, checks, information requests, and access to documents.
The directive introduces a consistent framework for sanctions, including binding instructions, implementation of security audit recommendations, alignment with NIS requirements, and administrative fines. Administrative fines vary based on entity classification, with essential entities facing fines up to €10,000,000 or 2% of annual turnover, and important entities facing fines up to €7,000,000 or 1.4% of annual turnover. Supervisory authorities must consider the nature and severity of the breach and any damages or losses incurred when exercising enforcement powers.
Opposite to the GDPR, the NIS2 also holds natural persons in senior management positions within covered entities accountable.
The NIS2 focuses on improving cyber risk management through clear responsibilities, effective planning, and enhanced cooperation within the EU.
To achieve this, NIS2 mandates Member States to designate national authorities responsible for cyber crisis management. It also introduces the requirement for national large-scale cybersecurity incident and crisis response plans. Additionally, NIS2 establishes the European cyber crisis liaison organization network (EU-CYCLONe). This network plays a vital role in the EU’s cyber crisis management framework, facilitating coordinated responses to significant cybersecurity incidents and crises. The combination of designated authorities, national response plans, and the EU-CYCLONe network ensures a more coordinated and efficient approach to managing large-scale cybersecurity incidents and crises across the European Union.
NIS2 will strengthen and streamline cybersecurity requirements for covered entities by requiring all companies to address a core set of 10 minimum requirements in their cybersecurity risk management policies.
These elements include incident handling, supply chain security, vulnerability handling and disclosure, and the use of cryptography. The NIS2 also includes a multiple-stage approach to incident reporting, which strikes a balance between swift reporting to prevent the spread of incidents and in-depth reporting to draw valuable lessons learned.
Affected companies have 24 hours to submit an early warning, 72 hours to submit an incident notification, and one month to submit a final report. This will help to reduce the additional burden for companies operating in multiple member states and ensure that all companies are addressing the necessary cybersecurity requirements.
Automating NIS2 compliance can help streamline and simplify the process for covered entities. ComplyCloud are currently developing a powerful tool to do exactly this.
