What is NIS2?
NIS2 is the EU’s response to the growing threats in the digital world. The directive imposes obligations on organisations operating in key sectors such as energy, transport, finance and healthcare. Its goal is to increase resilience to cyber threats and better protect data.
From 2024, all organisations covered by the directive must implement:
Cyber Risk Management System
Incident response mechanisms
IT resilience testing strategies
Strict rules for cooperation with ICT providers

Ignoring the requirements of NIS2 is associated with the risk of high financial penalties and reputational damage. But complying with the directive is more than just avoiding sanctions – it’s an investment in the future of your business.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about NIS2
When do you need to implement NIS2?
The NIS2 directive must be implemented by EU member states by the end of 2024. This means that companies must adapt their operations to the new requirements by the beginning of 2025 at the latest.
What are the penalties for non-compliance with NIS2?
Heavy fines and other sanctions may be imposed for non-compliance with the NIS2 Directive, depending on the national legislation implementing the Directive.
Does my company have to comply with NIS2 if it is not in a key sector?
If your company is not in a key sector or does not provide digital services, NIS2 probably does not apply to you. However, organisations working with covered entities may be required to comply with certain requirements, e.g. in the context of supplier risk management.
What are the first steps I should take to implement NIS2?
The first step is to conduct a compliance audit to identify what changes are necessary in your organization. Then it is worth implementing a risk management system and appropriate ICT security.
Can I outsource the implementation of NIS2 to specialists?
Yes. At TTSW, we offer comprehensive support – from audit and analysis, through technology implementation, to training and support for your team.
What are the main differences between NIS2 and NIS1?
NIS2 has a wider scope of application and more detailed requirements for risk management, ICT provider security and incident reporting. The directive also increases the responsibility of the organisation’s management boards for compliance with its requirements.
Do non-EU suppliers have to comply with NIS2?
Yes, if they provide services in the EU in the sectors covered by the directive.
