What is NIS2 and how does it affect you?

The European Union’s Network and Information Systems Directive 2 (NIS2) is the latest EU legislation designed to strengthen OT cyber security across industries. It has introduced stricter rules and expanded its scope to cover more business sectors to safeguard infrastructures across Europe in response to the escalation in cyber security attacks and threats.

This means for some organisations it will have a significant impact on their OT infrastructure, and they will have to implement stricter cyber security measures and ensure supply chain security in a timely manner, as there are potential penalties for non-compliance.

Whilst the UK currently does not have to comply with the NIS2 directives (Applies to organisations operating or carrying out activities for EU businesses within the scope.), it is widely accepted that it is a good opportunity for UK organisations to familiarise themselves with the directive as it provides a valuable insight into cyber security best practices and gives a strong indication of what future UK regulations will look like,
