Illustration showing NIS2

The Network and Information Systems Directive (or NIS2) is a legislative framework imposed by the European Union to enhance the security of network and information systems.

The framework requires essential and important services operating within the EU to implement stringent cyber security measures across their infrastructure. Aiming at mitigating and minimising the impact of breaches in the region.

Risk management, corporate accountability, reporting obligations and business continuity: let us help you achieve NIS2 requirements.


In July 2024, it was announced that the UK government will be introducing a new Cyber Security & Resilience Bill to help strengthen defences and ensure vital services are protected. The Bill will be introduced to Parliament in 2025.

Speak to us today about how we can help you prepare for the new CS&R regulations.

NIS vs. NIS2

Introduced in 2016, the original NIS framework was developed to improve cybersecurity measures within the EU and enforce incident reporting requirements for affected organisations. However, due to the EU’s recognition of increasing cybersecurity threats, the development of the more detailed NIS2 Directive was announced in November 2022. It becomes effective from 17th October 2024.


Essential Entities are defined as having:

  • ~250 employees
  • An annual turnover of €50 million or a balance sheet of €43 million

Important Entities are defined as having:

  • ~50 employees
  • An annual turnover of €10 million or a balance sheet of €10 million
