The European Parliament has approved the NIS2 Directive that requires EU member countries to include it in their own national laws by October 2024. This directive comes with penalties for those who don't follow it.
For essential organizations, the fines could be as high as €10 million or 2% of their annual global turnover. Meanwhile, significant organizations might face fines of up to €7 million or 1.4% of their annual worldwide turnover. It's important to ensure compliance as the deadline gets closer.
The NIS2 Directive is anticipated to bring about heightened enforcement and obligations, fostering a more secure digital economy within the European Union while enhancing protection against cyberattacks. Learn how we can assist in preparing for and supporting various sectors as listed below:
