Regulations come and go, but every so often one arrives that marks a real turning point. The NIS2 Directive is one of those moments.
This isn’t just another cybersecurity update. It’s a leadership directive from the EU — a clear signal that resilience begins in the boardroom.
Who’s in Scope Now?
NIS2 expands its reach far beyond traditional tech companies. Transport, healthcare, energy, digital services — odds are your sector is now included. With that comes new accountability:
- Clear definition of cyber roles and responsibilities
- Embedded incident response planning
- Mandatory breach reporting within 72 hours
The deadlines matter, but the deeper change is cultural. Boards are now expected to own cyber oversight.
From Box-Ticking to Living Systems
Some organizations will treat NIS2 as a checklist exercise — a one-time compliance project. That’s a mistake. Cybersecurity isn’t static. It’s a living system that evolves with new threats, suppliers, and business realities.
The directive reinforces this by formalizing supply-chain accountability. If your vendors aren’t secure, neither are you.
Frameworks That Accelerate Maturity
Ireland’s RMM and iPhone frameworks, alongside ISO and NIST standards, aren’t just compliance tools. They’re roadmaps to maturity. Whether you’re just beginning or already deeply invested in governance models, NIS2 offers a chance to accelerate.
This isn’t about reinventing how you operate — it’s about sharpening and scaling your approach to match the new reality.
