With the introduction of the NIS2 Directive, organizations across industries, including those managing critical national infrastructure, are under increasing pressure to upgrade their security measures. It’s crucial that organizations take active steps toward compliance now to protect their operations and secure internal communications.

NIS2 applies to both essential and important sectors. The “essential” sectors, considered to be highly critical, are listed in Annex I and include energy, transport, banking, financial market infrastructure, healthcare, drinking water, wastewater, digital infrastructure, public administration, and space. Annex II sets out “important” sectors such as postal and courier services, waste management, chemical production and distribution, food production and processing, medical equipment manufacturing, and digital suppliers (search engines, social media, and online marketplaces).
