NIS2 Compliance Information

The European Union’s NIS2 Directive is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape, raising the bar for organisations to protect their operations and data. At Abacus Systems, we’re here to help you understand what NIS2 means for your business and how we can guide you to achieve compliance while strengthening your cybersecurity posture.

NIS2 Compliance

What is NIS2?

NIS2, the Network and Information Systems Directive, is an EU regulation designed to enhance cybersecurity resilience across essential and important sectors. It introduces stricter obligations for organisations, ensuring that critical infrastructure and key supply chains are protected against evolving cyber threats.

This directive applies to businesses across sectors such as energy, healthcare, transport, and financial services, as well as specific digital providers. NIS2 expands the scope of the original NIS Directive, ensuring a comprehensive approach to managing cyber risks in a more interconnected world.

Is NIS2 Compliance of Concern to You?

If your organisation operates in an essential sector or provides critical services, NIS2 compliance is not optional—it’s a requirement. Falling within its scope means adhering to strict obligations aimed at enhancing cybersecurity. Non-compliance could lead to severe penalties, reputational damage, and disruptions to your operations.:

Key Questions to Assess Your Compliance Needs:

Are you in scope? Does your organisation fit into one of the essential sectors outlined by NIS2, such as healthcare, energy, digital infrastructure, or transport?
Are your suppliers or clients in scope? Even if your business is not directly subject to NIS2, working with organisations that are means compliance may still affect you through supply chain requirements.
Are you ready to comply? Do you have the systems, policies, and processes in place to address these regulations effectively?

Understanding your responsibilities is the first step toward mitigating risks and ensuring compliance.

For guidance on whether you’re in scope, consult the official NCSC Tool or explore the detailed NIS2 Compliance Guide. If you’re unsure where to begin, we can help assess your position and chart a clear path toward compliance.
