In this latest PrivacyRules #PrivacyEspresso episode, we continue our special series on building a unified compliance strategy within key #EU regulations, including #NIS2, #CRA, #DORA, and the #GDPR.

This time, we focus on NIS2, the pivotal #cybersecurity directive that is reshaping compliance obligations across industries. To explore its impact, Bernd Fiten, Senior associate from the Belgian law firm Timelex, joined us to break down its key requirements and what businesses need to know.

Key takeaways:

– A broad reach : Unlike its predecessor, NIS2 expands cybersecurity requirements beyond critical sectors to a wide range of businesses, including cloud providers, #data centers, and government offices.

– Executive accountability : NIS2 doesn’t just focus on IT departments; it places direct responsibility on top management, making cybersecurity a strategic priority.

– Supply chain security : Even if your company isn’t directly covered by NIS2, your clients might be. That means you could be required to meet NIS2 standards to maintain business relationships.

– Incident reporting & resilience : Organizations must report cyber incidents to improve collective threat intelligence and ensure business continuity in case of attacks.

– Regulatory differences : Since NIS2 is a directive, national implementations may differ, creating challenges for multinational businesses navigating multiple legal frameworks.

Watch the full episode to learn how NIS2 is transforming cybersecurity compliance and what steps businesses should take to stay ahead.
