NIS-2 Directive FAQs
Comply with the NIS 2 directive with edge.SHIELDOR
As cyber threats grow, industrial cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important. Legislators are requiring ever more industries and organizations to improve the protection of their business, and their customers.
What are the most important regulations and compliance requirements of the NIS 2 Directive for companies?
Companies must comply with several important provisions, including implementing robust cybersecurity measures, conducting risk assessments, creating incident response plans, and reporting significant cyber incidents to the relevant authorities within strict deadlines.
How does the NIS 2 Directive affect the operations and related costs of companies that have to comply with the regulations?
The NIS 2 regulations require companies to invest in cybersecurity infrastructure, staff training, and compliance, resulting in higher operating costs. Non-compliance can lead to heavy fines, reputational damage, and potential business disruption, further impacting the company’s operations. For the first time, managing directors and management bodies are liable with their private assets if they fail to comply with legal requirements.
Which sectors are most affected by the NIS 2 regulations?
Industries that are considered essential services—such as energy, transportation, healthcare, finance, and digital service providers—are most affected by the NIS 2 regulations. As these sectors play a critical role in society, and impact the economy, cyberattacks can have potentially drastic consequences.
If your organization belongs to the following categories, has more than 50 employees, and a has a turnover of over 10 million euros, compliance with the NIS 2 Directive is mandatory.

Are there industries that are exempt from the NIS 2 regulations?
While some industries are subject to less stringent regulations, virtually all industries that rely on digital infrastructure are subject to the NIS 2 regulations to some extent. However, smaller companies with fewer digital processes may have less strict requirements than larger companies that are more dependent on digital technology.
How can companies effectively ensure compliance with the NIS 2 regulations?
Organizations can ensure compliance by conducting thorough cybersecurity assessments, implementing sound security measures, regularly updating their systems, training their employees in cybersecurity best practices, establishing clear incident response protocols, and staying up to date with regulatory and industry standards developments. In addition, working with cybersecurity experts and regulators can help companies navigate the complex compliance landscape effectively.
