NIS2 - The time to act is now!

Don't wait any longer to get started.

On February 6th, the Council of Ministers approved the bill to transpose the NIS2 directive. Although there may still be changes, we already have a very rough idea of most of the NIS2 requirements. Get started now, and make sure you have time to implement everything you need for NIS2 compliance.

What is NIS2?

NIS2 is the most comprehensive European cybersecurity directive to date, presenting stricter requirements for risk management and incident reporting.

With broader coverage of sectors and tougher sanctions for non-compliance, hundreds of thousands of EU organizations will have to re-evaluate their cybersecurity stance.

What has changed:

- There has been an increase in the sectors of activity covered by NIS2 compared to NIS1.

- Examples of new sectors are: Wastewater, Space, Public Administration, Research, Production, Processing and Distribution of Food Products, Production, Processing and Distribution of Chemical Products, Postal and Courier Services, Waste Management, Manufacturing, ICT Service Management;

- Compared to NIS1, there has also been a very significant increase in the fines that non-compliant organizations can be subject to.

Why you should comply:

Organizations that do not comply with the NIS2 directive may be subject to the following fines:

- Essential entities may be subject to fines of up to 10 million euros or 2% of their global turnover, whichever is higher.

- Significant entities may be subject to fines of up to 7 million euros or 1.4% of their global turnover, whichever is higher.

In addition to monetary sanctions, non-compliant organizations can be subject to non-financial measures, such as compliance orders, binding instructions, notification and communication requirements for the parties involved, and implementation of changes based on safety audit findings.

Enhanced Business Protection with MSS

In an increasingly complex and vulnerable digital landscape, organizations face constant challenges in protecting their assets and data. On the other hand, the shortage of qualified professionals hinders organizations' ability to effectively manage their cybersecurity solutions. Managed Security Services (MSS) have emerged as a strategic service, assuring the availability of an expert team with the skills to effectively monitor, manage and operate the cybersecurity infrastructure, as well as respond promptly to security incidents.

WHAT ARE MANAGED SECURITY SERVICES (MSS)?

MSS refer to the outsourcing of cybersecurity services to a specialized provider. These services include:

• Monitoring, operation and management of cybersecurity solutions such as firewalls, WAF, email protection solutions, endpoint security solutions, cloud security solutions, SIEM, among others;

• Incident detection and response;

• Vulnerability management;

• Implementation and maintenance of security policies;

• Compliance with standards and regulations such as GDPR, ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA, NIST and others.

This recognition not only reinforces the company's position on the national and international cybersecurity scene, but also underlines its ongoing commitment to protecting organizations and individuals against increasingly complex cyber threats.

What is TF-CSIRT?

TF-CSIRT is a community that brings together IT Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRT) from around the world, facilitating cooperation between them. Inclusion in the TF-CSIRT public database means that a team has been evaluated and recognized for meeting rigorous criteria, including incident management practices and cyber intelligence sharing.

The listing provides greater visibility, credibility and facilitates the exchange of information between security teams from different regions, becoming an essential platform for collaboratively tackling cyber threats.

Why is it so important for CyberSafe ?

Being listed on the TF-CSIRT is an important recognition of CyberSafe's quality and maturity as a security incident response team. This step places the company alongside the leading cybersecurity teams in Europe and the world, strengthening its position as a trusted player in the sector. The listing ensures greater visibility for the company and opens doors to a valuable network of collaboration and intelligence sharing with other CSIRT teams, increasing its ability to act quickly and efficiently in the face of security incidents.

Furthermore, inclusion in TF-CSIRT is the first step towards obtaining the Trusted Introducer (TI) certification, which recognizes the maturity and reliability of CSIRT teams. This advanced trust recognition will enable CyberSafe to further enhance its services, benefiting from additional resources and establishing strategic partnerships with other global cybersecurity entities.
