Octalogik: Your Trusted Guide to NIS2 Directive Compliance.
The digital landscape is ever-evolving, bringing forth new challenges and regulations. At the forefront of these changes is the NIS2 Directive, the European Union’s latest initiative to bolster cybersecurity measures across member states. But how can organizations effectively navigate this new directive? Octalogik is here to guide you every step of the way.
Understanding NIS2: A Brief Overview
NIS2, building upon its predecessor, the NIS Directive, is an EU initiative designed to ensure a consistent and robust level of cybersecurity across the European Union. Effective from January 2023, member states are anticipated to integrate it into their national legislation by October 2024. This directive underscores the significance of cybersecurity risk management and mandates stringent reporting obligations. With its broader scope, NIS2 introduces enhanced requirements and emphasizes the pivotal role of organizational boards in overseeing cybersecurity measures. Non-compliance can lead to hefty penalties, potentially reaching up to EUR 10 million, or 2% of global annual revenue.
Who needs to gear up for NIS2?
The directive categorizes sectors into two primary groups: Category 1 and Category 2. While Category 1 encompasses sectors like energy and banking, Category 2 includes areas such as postal services and digital providers. Organizations within these sectors, that meet specific criteria fall under the purview of NIS2. Notably, entities in Category 1 with larger operational scales are classified as “essential entities” and face more rigorous regulations.
Key Focus Areas of NIS2
The directive emphasizes risk ownership, security protocols, and supply chain vigilance. Boards are entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring compliance, necessitating them to undergo specialized training. Furthermore, NIS2 outlines a comprehensive list of security measures that entities must implement, ranging from incident management to encryption protocols.
Supply Chain Vigilance and Incident Reporting
NIS2 accentuates the importance of a secure supply chain. Organizations are urged to meticulously assess their suppliers and service providers. Moreover, prompt incident reporting is mandatory, necessitating an initial alert within 24 hours and a comprehensive report within 72 hours.
