NIS2 Directive
Clear action points for compliance and cybersecurity protection!
What is the NIS2 Directive?
The NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Security Directive 2) is the updated European cybersecurity regulation, effective since January 16, 2023. Due to increasing cyber threats and digital dependencies, NIS2 mandates companies to strengthen their digital security and prevent cyberattacks.
NIS2 compliance is mandatory for businesses in essential and important sectors. Non-compliance can result in fines and reputational damage.
NIS2 has a broader impact beyond just critical sectors. Cyber threats affect all businesses, including SMEs in non-critical industries. Companies now demand secure partners and suppliers. To collaborate with NIS2-regulated businesses, you must meet similar security standards.
With NIS2 and the CyberFundamentals Framework, cybersecurity is becoming the new standard in Belgium!
NIS2 in Belgium: How far does the directive go?
The Belgian government implemented NIS2 into national law on October 17, 2024. Since then, more businesses have been required to enhance their cybersecurity measures.
To support companies, the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) has developed CyFun (Cybersecurity Fundamentals)—a practical framework with concrete security measures for businesses of all sizes.
