NIS-2 Representative: Your Trusted Partner for EU Compliance

The NIS-2 Directive (Network and Information Security Directive) strengthens cybersecurity across the European Union—and it also applies to companies outside the EU that provide critical or digital services in a Member State. If your company is not based in the EU but falls within the scope of NIS-2, you are required to appoint an official EU representative.

What is the NIS-2 Directive?

The NIS-2 Directive (Network and Information Security Directive 2) is the revised EU cybersecurity directive that has been in force since January 2023. It replaces the original NIS Directive (2016) and tightens requirements for companies and public institutions to strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructures against cyberattacks.

Objectives of the NIS-2 Directive

1. Expanded Scope
   • Applies to more sectors and companies than the previous directive (e.g., energy, healthcare, digital infrastructure, public administration, space, logistics services).
   • Distinction between "essential" (e.g., energy, healthcare) and "important" entities (e.g., food production, digital services).
2. Higher Cybersecurity Standards
   • Mandatory risk management measures (e.g., incident response plans, vulnerability management).
   • Reporting obligations for security incidents within 24 hours (preliminary report) and 72 hours (detailed report).
3. Stronger Regulatory Oversight
   • National authorities (in Germany, the Federal Office for Information Security, BSI) gain greater powers for monitoring and enforcement.
   • Fines for non-compliance: up to €10 million or 2% of global turnover (whichever is higher).
4. Supply Chain Security
   • Companies must also assess the cybersecurity of their suppliers (e.g., IT service providers, cloud providers).
   • Contractual obligations to comply with NIS-2 requirements in the supply chain.
5. EU-Wide Harmonization
   • Uniform minimum standards for all member states to better combat cross-border cyber risks.

The NIS-2 Directive is the European standard for cybersecurity and requires companies to protect their IT infrastructure against attacks. Affected entities must act by March 2026—or face substantial fines. The directive applies not only to large corporations but also to SMEs and suppliers.
