NIS2 software for transportation companies: are you ready for the challenge?

The transportation sector plays a crucial role in the economy and is often the target of cyber attacks. Therefore, it is important to take the necessary measures to ensure cyber security. The NIS2 directive provides a framework for this, but how do you get started as a transportation company? In this article, we discuss the most important aspects and how Perium can help you comply with these new regulations.

What is NIS2

NIS2, or the Network and Information Security directive 2, is the successor to the original NIS directive adopted by the European Union. This directive was designed to strengthen the cybersecurity and resilience of essential services, including transportation. The legislation, which takes effect July 1, 2025 in the Netherlands, imposes obligations on organizations to manage risk and report incidents. This means transportation companies must prepare for more stringent information security and risk management requirements. It is essential to take this directive seriously not only to comply with legislation, but also to ensure customer confidence.

NIS2: Where to start?

As a transportation company, starting to implement NIS2 can feel overwhelming. Start with a thorough risk assessment to identify your vulnerabilities. Map out what data you process and which systems are critical to your operations. Next, it's important to look at existing control measures. Communicate within your organization the need for these changes and involve employees in the process. Creating awareness is crucial. Another step is to take a structured approach to implementing risk management. This helps to be efficient and focused.

How can you efficiently and demonstrably comply with NIS2?

Efficient compliance with NIS2 starts with creating a risk management plan. Make sure you clearly document what risks exist and how you will mitigate them. Choose software solutions that help you set up an effective information security system without consuming a lot of time and resources. Decide in advance which standards you want to comply with, such as ISO27001, and use existing templates and frameworks to speed up the process. By regularly monitoring the status of your risks and measures, you'll stay on top of changes in a timely manner and be ready for audits.
