NIS 2: the European directive for cybersecurity
The new European directive NIS2 establishes strict requirements to ensure digital resilience and protection of critical infrastructures. At Reply, we provide integrated support to guide organisations at every stage of the compliance process.
New European standards for security and digital resilience
The European Union has introduced the NIS 2 (Network and Information Security) Directive, establishing new standards to protect critical infrastructures and ensure digital resilience in an increasingly complex threat landscape. Effective from 2023, the directive mandates stringent measures across various critical sectors, including advanced requirements for risk management, incident response, and supply chain security. Complementing the directive are key regulations such as the DORA Regulation (Digital Operational Resilience Act) and the CER Directive (Critical Entities Resilience Directive), which share the aim of fostering a secure and resilient digital environment. Compared to the original NIS Directive, NIS 2 represents a significant update, expanding protections to a broader range of sectors and focusing on creating a coordinated European digital ecosystem. NIS 2 is designed to support business continuity for organizations providing essential services, equipping them to navigate digital challenges and mitigate the risks of critical service disruptions effectively.
Risk analysis and security measures
The NIS 2 Directive mandates organisations to adopt a multi-risk approach to security management. Companies must implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to mitigate cyber threats effectively.
Incident Management
Organisations are required to continuously monitor their IT infrastructure to detect and respond promptly to incidents. Any significant event that could compromise operations must be reported in a timely manner to minimise its impact on services.
Supply chain security
The directive obliges organisations to manage risks throughout their supply chain, ensuring that suppliers also adhere to high security standards. Effective supply chain management helps to mitigate external risks that could compromise business resilience.
Training
Adequate staff training is mandatory, with a particular focus on managers, enabling them to identify and manage IT risks. This requirement fosters a company culture centred on safety and risk awareness.
Our support
To support organisations in adapting to the NIS 2 Directive, Reply provides comprehensive and structured assistance tailored to meet specific compliance and security requirements. Beginning with an in-depth analysis of the maturity level of existing security measures, we assess the organisation's readiness to meet the directive's demands. We then identify areas for improvement and develop a roadmap of targeted interventions to address gaps and enhance digital resilience. This approach enables organisations to achieve compliance with NIS 2 efficiently, while also improving risk management capabilities and bolstering the resilience of their systems. With our expertise, companies can confidently navigate the path to regulatory compliance, establishing a robust foundation to safeguard their critical infrastructures against cyber threats.
