The Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS2) is essential for UK companies doing business in the EU. Beyond avoiding penalties, NIS2 compliance builds customer trust and demonstrates cybersecurity commitment in today’s threat landscape.

Core Requirements include risk Assessment and Access Controls, as well as Response and Monitoring.

Comprehensive risk assessments form the foundation, identifying threats and vulnerabilities while strong access management requires multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access controls (RBAC).

Effective incident response plans provide clear detection, reporting, and response procedures, and continuous monitoring through intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) and security information and event management (SIEM) solutions enables real-time threat identification and response.

Implementation Strategy is also critical for NIS2 compliance. This includes Human Elements (security awareness training, incident response roles and responsibilities); Technology and Testing (firewalls, EDR, encryption) and regular penetration testing; and Supply Chain and Governance (third party risk management, regular policy reviews, periodic compliance audits).

This comprehensive approach—encompassing risk assessments, access controls, incident response, monitoring, training, and more—creates a robust NIS2 compliance strategy.

These are just a few strategies. Watch this video, featuring the latest in AI video technology, to discover more.
