All you need to know about NIS2 and the steps to its compliance
NIS2, the first EU-wide cybersecurity law, has positioned cybersecurity as the only first-line enforcer. With the continued strict regulations, organizations are increasingly asked to add tooling, process, and prioritization to retrofit them.
To understand your position and priorities within NIS2, you target function-specific technology applications recommended by tech and admin audits. Telelink Business Services has the resources and competence to do both.
Required by the NIS 2 Directive, the audits are considered essential tools for continuously assessing and improving the security of critical infrastructures.
Volume 1 of our podcast provides an accurate overview of NIS2 from a business perspective, offering valuable insights into the financial and other risks that companies may face if they don’t apply the directive. Speakers:
Volume 2 of our podcast gives an in-depth description of all the necessary steps that companies must take to comply with NIS2, including auditing, controls, measures, and procedures. Speakers:
Identification of cybersecurity information for assets connected to the network.
Testing designed to assess the digital protection of the organization from a hacker’s point of view.
Exclusive phishing simulation to determine the level of employees’ awareness.
Performing a documentary audit of organizational and technical controls in compliance with the NIS2 Directive.
The most successful NIS2 compliance enables the underlying business to work unhindered, something Telelink Business Services strives to provide.
The revised EU directive on the security of network and information systems (NIS2) repeals and replaces the existing NIS Directive. Adopted in 2016, it is the first EU-wide cybersecurity law.
The principal objective of the NIS2 Directive is to increase the level of cyber resilience across the EU. It does so by requiring all entities in the EU that provide critical services to the economy and society to take appropriate cybersecurity measures.
What we stand for
Yes. NIS2 covers IT companies, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, cloud services, and more. If you partner with larger companies, compliance will be mandatory to maintain business relationships.
Risks go beyond fines up to €10 million or 2% of global turnover with one of more of the following turn outs:
Conduct a quick impact analysis covering:
Not entirely. NIS2 requires a comprehensive approach including incident management, clear policies, training, and proven compliance — not just technical tools.
It depends on your current state. An adequate approach is to do technical and documentation audits to identify current gaps. EU funding options can also assist.
Believing cybersecurity is only the IT department’s responsibility. Buying expensive technology without an integrated strategy. Neglecting employee training. Failing to regularly test backups and response plans.
Conduct an audit (technical and documentation-based), then prioritize critical measures and develop a clear, step-by-step strategy.
The risk is significant. Unsynchronized audits cause gaps, inconsistencies, and lack a unified action plan. What do we do differently?
Maintain clear documentation:
Yes, training is explicitly required. Companies must regularly train employees, conduct phishing simulations, implement clear procedures, perform regular security assessments, and encourage incident reporting.
To avoid contradictions between administrative and technical audits, it’s best to use a single provider for both audits. The benefits are as follows:
Reasons to use such a tool:
Rather than choosing one, we recommend an integrated approach since weaknesses in any area reduce overall security effectiveness. The phases can be described as:
Immediate availability depends on having a centralized compliance management system, including:
