NIS2 software for trading enterprises: are you prepared?

The Network and Information Security Directive, or NIS2 Directive, is the successor to the NIS Directive and has significant implications for commercial enterprises. This European law is designed to improve the cybersecurity and resilience of essential services in EU member states. In the Netherlands, the national NIS2 legislation will take effect on July 1, 2025. It is crucial that your organization take steps now to become compliant. Perium specializes in risk management and helps you meet these obligations efficiently and effectively.

What is NIS2

NIS2 is a regulation adopted by the European Union and serves to complement the original NIS directive. The purpose of NIS2 is to increase the cyber resilience of organizations managing critical infrastructures, but it also suits trading enterprises that rely on information and communications technology. NIS2 introduces more stringent security requirements and increases the risk management and incident reporting responsibilities of organizations. This means that trading enterprises must meet not only the technical requirements, but also policy and culture requirements around cybersecurity and information security.

NIS2: Where to start?

Implementing NIS2 starts with mapping the current situation within your organization. This involves analyzing which activities are essential to your operations and which risks are associated with them. Next, it is important to evaluate existing processes and systems. This could include your IT infrastructure, information security policies and personnel. Start by creating awareness within your team and making sure everyone is aware of the obligations that NIS2 entails. By getting started now, you will avoid running into deadlines and will be able to make the transition to compliance gradually.

How can you efficiently and demonstrably comply with NIS2?

Efficient compliance with the NIS2 Directive requires a structured approach. Start by developing a risk management strategy tailored to the specific requirements of NIS2. This means identifying and managing all risks, and having a management process in place that continuously improves. Using software like Perium helps you reduce the complexity of these responsibilities.
