NIS2 Directive Compliance for European Organisations

What NIS2 Demands From Your Organisation

The NIS2 Directive replaces the original NIS Directive (EU 2016/1148) and introduces significantly stricter cybersecurity obligations for a much broader set of organisations. It applies to two categories of entities: essential entities (critical infrastructure sectors) and important entities (other key sectors). Essential entities face the highest level of scrutiny and penalties, including fines of up to €10 million or 2% of global annual turnover — whichever is higher.

To achieve NIS2 compliance, your organisation must implement a comprehensive set of risk management measures, report significant incidents within tight timelines, demonstrate supply chain security, and ensure that directors and senior management are personally accountable for cybersecurity decisions. The Directive also mandates the use of certified ICT products and services where available, and requires entities to conduct regular cybersecurity audits, vulnerability assessments, and employee training.

At CyberSilo, we specialise in helping European enterprises navigate these complex requirements through automated compliance workflows, continuous monitoring, and expert advisory services. Our Compliance Standards Automation platform maps directly to NIS2 articles, while our ThreatHawk SIEM provides the real-time detection and logging capabilities that regulators expect.

• Register your entity with the relevant national competent authority within the specified timeline
