The Network and Information Security Directive 2, Directive (EU) 2022/2555 (NIS2) reshapes cybersecurity compliance across the European Union. The Directive aims to enhance cybersecurity and resilience within the Union, imposing uniform risk management and reporting obligations on both “essential” and “important” entities, and expanding the scope beyond traditional critical infrastructure providers. Companies that fall within scope may need to review and align their internal processes, controls, and governance structures with NIS2 — or risk enforcement consequences.
