Ensuring NIS2 Compliance
NIS2 is an EU directive aimed at achieving a high common level of cybersecurity across the European Union. It replaces the former NIS1 directive, introducing a broader scope of obligations, new categories of covered entities, and stricter penalties for non-compliance.
We help organizations in Poland understand and implement NIS2 requirements – from risk analysis and security audits to documentation, policies, training, and technical measures.
We support companies both during the preparation phase and when facing regulatory inspections.
Key Principles of NIS2
1. Cybersecurity as a board-level responsibility
NIS2 introduces direct responsibility for company leadership to implement and maintain appropriate security measures. Board members must be trained, aware of risks, and actively involved in preventive actions.
2. Mandatory risk management and technical safeguards
Organizations must implement organizational and technical measures proportional to the level of risk – such as network segmentation, encryption, access control, monitoring, and business continuity planning.
3. Broader scope of entities covered
NIS2 expands the directive’s reach to both private and public sectors, covering more industries than NIS1 – including manufacturing, postal services, water supply, waste management, digital infrastructure, and e-commerce platforms.
4. Mandatory incident reporting within strict timelines
Obligated entities must report cybersecurity incidents within 24 hours of detection and follow up with detailed reports.
5. Increased oversight by EU Member States
The directive requires regular inspections, audits, and allows national authorities to impose financial penalties. Minimum sanctions include up to €10 million or 2% of annual global turnover.
6. Supply chain risk management
Organizations must assess and manage risks related to subcontractors and IT service providers, including external software, hardware, and cloud vendors.
7. Cross-border cooperation and harmonization across the EU
NIS2 promotes better coordination between EU countries, including joint incident response, shared standards, and information exchange.
