NIS2 Directive: From risk to opportunity
Strengthened cybersecurity legislation is coming into force in the EU, following the adoption of the Network and Information Security 2 (NIS2) Directive in January 2023. DNV Cyber’s guide to NIS2 explores what the legislation means for industrial companies in Europe and provides a three-step approach to compliance.
Cybersecurity regulations are constantly changing and getting more complex and demanding. Recognizing what this means for you and your organization can be challenging. We take a practical approach to keeping you compliant, and we share our regulatory knowledge so you stay ahead of developments in your industry and geography.
Government and society are recognizing growing cyber risks, and regulation is becoming tighter and more demanding. But interpreting regulations can be difficult, especially when it comes to cost-efficiently transforming this understanding into IT and OT cybersecurity strategy and solutions.
Regulation presents an opportunity to assess your capabilities and operations against strengthened cyber security requirements. Regulation is perceived by criticial infrastructure industry professionals as the greatest driver of cybersecurity investment within their organization. But for organizations that haven’t strengthened their cyber capabilities, it’s also a wake-up call for the need to act to better address cybersecurity threats.
Understanding when, where and how the rules apply is just the starting point. Cybersecurity should be planned and implemented in line with regulatory requirements and standards as well as tailored to your organization’s specific needs and conditions. Rather than a compliance checklist, regulation should be viewed as part of a continuous improvement process.
If you’re cyber secure, you’re very likely to comply with regulation, but the reverse isn’t always true: compliance doesn’t guarantee security. It takes the right mindset, company culture, and access to skills to ensure regulation-driven investment translates into greater cyber resilience.
