NIS2 Directive and Cybersecurity – new board responsibilities
A new era of data security responsibility
The digital world is no longer solely the domain of IT departments. With the entry into force of the NIS2 Directive, cybersecurity has become a strategic obligation for company management boards. These regulations drastically expand the list of entities considered essential and important, imposing strict requirements on them for incident reporting and risk management. Significantly, members of management bodies can now be held personally liable for failures in this area.
Key pillars of NIS2 compliance
Implementing appropriate procedures is a multi-stage process which requires close cooperation between lawyers and IT security experts.
- Supply chain risk analysis It's not enough for your company to be secure. You need to verify what standards your software and cloud service providers use.
- Incident handling procedures The timeframe for reporting a serious incident to regulatory authorities is extremely short (often just 24 hours). The lack of a prepared „crisis scenario” paralyses the company's operations and exposes it to enormous financial penalties.
- Business Continuity How quickly can your company recover from a ransomware attack? The legal aspects of data backup and recovery are fundamental to business security today.
