NIS 2: What You Need to Know

Current Status
The implementation of NIS 2 is in its final stages. EU member states have until October 17, 2024, to reflect the directive in their national laws. This process, known as transposition, involves adopting local legislation that reflects the goals and requirements set out by NIS 2. While some member states are actively working on this, there are concerns that not all will meet the deadline. Regardless, organizations across affected sectors should prepare for the stricter cybersecurity measures and incident reporting mandated by NIS 2.
