Our eBook breaks down the NIS Directive into actionable compliance steps for your business. ## Understanding NIS2 compliance and cyber security resilience The NIS2 Directive is reshaping how organisations manage cyber security risk, protect essential services, and respond to cyber incidents across Europe. Expanding the original NIS Directive from 7 to 15 sectors, NIS2 applies to essential and important entities in areas such as energy, transport, finance, health, water, digital infrastructure, public administration, manufacturing, food, chemicals, waste management, postal services, research, and space. NIS2 compliance requires stronger governance, risk management, supply chain security, access control, encryption, incident response planning, business continuity, security monitoring, and staff cyber security awareness training. Failure to comply can lead to regulatory scrutiny, incident reporting obligations, administrative sanctions, and significant fines. This is essential reading for business leaders, IT teams, compliance professionals, risk managers, and anyone responsible for protecting critical services and meeting NIS2 cyber security requirements. **In this free eBook, you'll discover:** Who falls in scope under NIS2 and how the sectors have changed Essential vs important services, and what each requires NIS2 objectives: manage risk, prevent attacks, detect incidents, minimise impact Supply chain rules and how to assess suppliers Incident reporting: what, to whom and when Enhanced access controls, including mandatory MFA Penalties, including management liability and leadership bans Staff awareness and training as a named compliance measure --- ### Strengthen your NIS2 compliance strategy The Security Company helps organisations meet NIS2 requirements through cyber security awareness training, human risk management, policy development, and practical guidance that strengthens resilience and supports regulatory compliance.

The NIS2 Directive is EU cyber security legislation designed to improve the security and resilience of essential and important services. It expands the original NIS Directive from 7 sectors to 15, covering areas such as energy, transport, finance, health, water, digital infrastructure, public administration, manufacturing, food, chemicals, waste management, postal services, research, and space. ### Who needs to comply with NIS2? Your organisation may be in scope for NIS2 compliance if it provides essential services, important services, supplies an in-scope organisation, operates in Europe, does business in Europe, or meets the relevant size-cap rule. NIS2 also places stronger expectations on supply chain security, governance, risk management, incident reporting, and cyber security training. ### What are the main NIS2 requirements? Key NIS2 requirements include managing cyber security risk, protecting against cyber attacks, detecting security incidents, and reducing the impact of incidents when they happen. Organisations must implement measures such as incident response planning, access control, MFA, encryption, supply chain risk management, business continuity planning, security monitoring, staff awareness training, and prompt incident reporting. --- ## Related pages [Human Risk Platform](https://thesecuritycompany.com/tscs-human-risk-management-platform) [Products & Services](https://thesecuritycompany.com/productsandservices) ## Related posts [![Pharmaceutical professional reviewing stock in a medical storage area with a tablet, representing cyber security risks in the pharmaceutical industry.](https://thesecuritycompany.com/hubfs/cyber-security-in-the-pharma-industry-report.webp)](https://thesecuritycompany.com/blog/cyber-security-pharmaceutical-industry-report) [REPORT](https://thesecuritycompany.com/blog/tag/report) ### [Cyber security in the pharmaceutical industry](https://thesecuritycompany.com/blog/cyber-security-pharmaceutical-industry-report) [![Smart home and connected device icons, representing Internet of Things security, IoT risks and connected workplace technology.](https://thesecuritycompany.com/hubfs/guide-IoT-ebook.webp)](https://thesecuritycompany.com/blog/guide-iot-security-ebook) [eBOOK](https://thesecuritycompany.com/blog/tag/ebook) ### [Your guide to the Internet of Things (IoT)](https://thesecuritycompany.com/blog/guide-iot-security-ebook) [![Digital hand pressing a virtual interface, representing Identity and Access Management, user access controls and authentication security.](https://thesecuritycompany.com/hubfs/guide-identity-access-management-IAM.webp)](https://thesecuritycompany.com/blog/guide-identity-access-management-iam-ebook) [eBOOK](https://thesecuritycompany.com/blog/tag/ebook) ### [Your guide to Identity and Access Management (IAM)](https://thesecuritycompany.com/blog/guide-identity-access-management-iam-ebook) ![](https://thesecuritycompany.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bug.webp?width=80&height=80&name=bug.webp) ![](https://thesecuritycompany.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bug_white.webp?width=80&height=80&name=bug_white.webp) Go further with emerging threat intelligence, expert analysis and guidance [![TSC White Logo large](https://thesecuritycompany.com/hs-fs/hubfs/TSC%20White%20Logo%20large.webp?width=100&height=82&name=TSC%20White%20Logo%20large.webp "TSC White Logo large")](https://thesecuritycompany.com/) **©** The Security Company (International) Limited 2026 Office One, 1 Coldbath Square, London, EC1R 5HL, UK Company registration No: 03703393 VAT No: 385 8337 51 [linkedin-in icon](https://uk.linkedin.com/company/thesecurityco) [Home](https://thesecuritycompany.com) [Human Risk Platform](https://thesecuritycompany.com/tscs-human-risk-management-platform) **[Products & Services](https://thesecuritycompany.com/productsandservices)** [Contact us](https://thesecuritycompany.com/contact-us) [Privacy &](https://thesecuritycompany.com/tsc-policies)[Cookie Policies](https://thesecuritycompany.com/tsc-policies) [Terms & Conditions](https://thesecuritycompany.com/tsc-policies) **Resources** -
