What Is NIS2—And Why Does It Affect Your Clients?
While security is the end goal, for many businesses regulatory compliance is the means to achieve it—and a security measure in its own right.
NIS2 (Network and Information Security Directive 2) is the EU’s updated cybersecurity law aimed at raising baseline standards across the bloc. It requires:
- Stronger technical safeguards and cyber awareness among staff
- Legal accountability for directors
- Broader scope than frameworks like the UK’s Cyber Essentials, with emphasis on both organisational and individual readiness
Who Does NIS2 Apply To?
NIS2 directly targets critical sectors—energy, healthcare, transport, telecoms, and tech—but it is explicitly designed to cascade downstream. This means millions of suppliers and service providers (including SMEs) must also demonstrate compliance.
If your clients:
- Serve public bodies or regulated industries in Europe
- Are part of a supply chain connected to an EU entity
- Operate directly in the EU market
…then NIS2 will apply to them.
Each EU member state is transposing NIS2 into national law, making compliance a fragmented, fast-evolving challenge.
Examples:
- 🇪🇸 Spain aligns NIS2 with its Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS)
- 🇳🇱 The Netherlands develops national certification frameworks
- 🇧🇪 Belgium uses the Cyber Fundamentals Framework
