NIS2 Directive for SMEs
What is the NIS2 directive?
The NIS2 directive (Network and Information Security Directive 2) is European legislation imposing stricter cybersecurity requirements on organisations. It is the successor to the original NIS directive and has a much broader scope.
NIS2 requires organisations to take appropriate technical and organisational measures for the security of their network and information systems. This includes risk management, incident response, business continuity, supply chain security and reporting obligations.
Non-compliance carries significant fines. Board members can be held personally liable. Read our [insight on the NIS2 directive](/en/inzichten/nis2-richtlijn-valt-jouw-bedrijf-eronder) for a detailed analysis.

Does your business fall under NIS2?
NIS2 applies to two categories of organisations:
Essential — Energy, transport, healthcare, drinking water, digital infrastructure, banking, government and space.
Important — Postal and courier services, waste management, chemicals, food production, manufacturing, digital service providers and research organisations.
Even if you don't fall directly under NIS2, you may be indirectly affected. Organisations that do fall under NIS2 must impose requirements on their suppliers. Do you work for a hospital, government institution or energy company? Then you must also demonstrate that your cybersecurity is in order.
