Everything you need to know about NIS2
Organisations face the complexity of NIS2 regulations and the challenges of cybersecurity. PQR understands these challenges and offers support to help you comply with these new regulations.
The era of traditional security is over; it is time to embrace hacking as an opportunity to make your infrastructure more secure and resilient to enable innovation.
What is NIS2?
The NIS2 directive, also known as the Network and Information Security directive, is the successor to the NIS directive and was adopted by the European Union. Its aim is to improve cybersecurity and resilience of essential services in EU member states. Compared to its predecessor, the NIS2 directive expands the scope by covering more sectors and sets stricter security standards and incident reporting requirements. NIS2 is currently being implemented in Dutch legislation.
Since 2020, the European Union has been working on the NIS2 directive in response to increasing threats such as COVID-19, the Ukraine war, cyber threats and the effects of climate change. This directive aims to improve the digital and economic resilience of European member states and is currently being transposed into national legislation.

For which organizations does the NIS2 directive apply?
The NIS2 directive focuses on sectors already covered by the first NIS directive and to a number of new sectors. Under the new directive, essential entities such as parts of the central government and organisations designated as critical entities under the CER directive are automatically among the entities covered by the NIS2 directive. In addition, large organisations, which meet specific criteria such as a certain number of employees or annual turnover, are also considered essential entities.
Are you unsure whether your organisation needs to be NIS2 compliant? The central government has created an NIS2 quick scan.
NIS2 Assessment
Where do you stand when it comes to NIS2? Is your organisation already compliant or do some things still need to be done?
After completing the PQR NIS2 assessment, you will have a report in your hands showing the extent to which the organisation is now NIS2 compliant and what still needs to be done to become NIS2 compliant.
The result of the assessment is an analysis and action plan, which provides a picture of how the organisation is doing in the various aspects of the standard and where the main "GAPs" are that need to be addressed. Read more about the NIS2 assessment.
