The new EU directive NIS2 brings far-reaching requirements for cyber security – and affects significantly more companies than before. Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) must also take action, even if they are not directly covered by the regulation. Why? Because customers, partners and clients are increasingly demanding NIS2 compliance – and thus indirectly making your organization responsible.
The 5 most important topics for SMEs in the context of NIS2
1. risk management and security strategy
NIS2 requires structured risk management. SMEs must systematically record, assess and deal with their IT risks. This means documenting processes, clarifying responsibilities and defining protective measures. A basic information security management system (ISMS), e.g. in accordance with ISO 27001, is an easy way to get started.
Recommended action: Start by taking stock of your IT risks – e.g. using the free NIS2 check at cyriso.io.
2. reporting obligations and incident management
In future, security incidents must be reported within 24 hours. This requires clear processes, responsibilities and technical precautions. Smaller companies also need to be prepared – because an incident can escalate quickly.
Recommended action: Define reporting channels and persons responsible for IT security incidents. Use the check on cyriso.io to evaluate your current response capability.
3. supply chain security
Even if your company is not directly covered by NIS2, your customers might be. And they expect you as a service provider or supplier to be secure as well. This means that contracts, processes and IT systems must be NIS2-compliant.
Recommended action: Check whether your customers are NIS2-relevant – and whether you meet the relevant requirements. The check on cyriso.io shows you where you stand.
4. sensitization and training
Employees must be trained regularly – not only technically, but also in the secure handling of data, passwords and communication. Awareness is a central component of the NIS2 strategy.
Recommended action: Plan regular training and awareness campaigns. The NIS2 check on cyriso.io helps you to identify your needs.
5. documentation and verifiability
All measures must be documented and verifiable. This applies not only to technical systems, but also to organizational processes and responsibilities. Without proof, fines of up to €10 million or 2% of annual turnover may be imposed.
Recommended action: Start with structured documentation of your security measures. Use the free check on cyriso.io as a starting point or contact us.
Passive affectedness: Even if you are not directly affected by NIS2
Many SMEs are indirectly affected – for example as IT service providers, suppliers or operators of systems used in critical sectors. Customers are increasingly demanding proof of cyber security and tenders require NIS2 compliance.
Conclusion: Those who act today secure competitive advantages and customer trust.
