NIS2 Directive: Addressing cybersecurity compliance in the EU

Gain a comprehensive understanding of the NIS2 Directive and how TeamViewer helps your enterprise swiftly meet its stringent requirements. Secure your business against cyber threats and avoid the severe penalties associated with non-compliance.

Why Immediate Action on NIS2 is Essential

The Network and Information Systems Directive 2 (NIS2), effective from October 2024, significantly elevates cybersecurity expectations across the EU. Organizations must urgently align their cybersecurity strategies to avoid severe financial repercussions—penalties can reach up to €10 million or 2% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher.

Ignoring NIS2 poses dire consequences, including heightened vulnerability to cyber threats, operational disruptions, loss of customer confidence, and critical reputational harm.

An overview of the changes and the areas which require special attention:

NIS2 significantly expands its regulatory reach, covering additional essential sectors like energy, healthcare, digital infrastructure, financial services, public administration, and manufacturing. Ensure your enterprise fully understands and meets these new obligations.

Significant cybersecurity incidents must be reported within 24 hours. Reports must provide thorough details regarding the nature of the incident, the severity of its impact, and immediate mitigation efforts. Delays in reporting can multiply penalties, exacerbate damage, and erode stakeholder trust.

Organizations are required to report significant security incidents to the relevant authorities within 24 hours of detection. The report must detail the nature of the incident, its impact, and the mitigation efforts taken.

Failure to adequately secure your supply chain can result in direct compliance breaches, severe business disruptions, and compromised customer data. Enterprises must rapidly assess, address, and mitigate supply chain cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

NIS2 places explicit responsibility on senior leadership to manage cybersecurity risks actively and comprehensively. Regular, transparent audits are mandatory, highlighting the immediate need for executive-level oversight to prevent severe regulatory repercussions.

Enhanced and proactive collaboration between EU member states is critical. Swift sharing of threat intelligence and cybersecurity practices is essential for strengthening collective resilience and ensuring comprehensive protection across Europe.
