The role of directors under NIS2

Under NIS2, directors are expected to:

• approve the necessary cybersecurity risk management measures;
• monitor compliance with these measures within their organization;
• take personal responsibility for overall cybersecurity compliance.

This liability means that not only the organization, but also individual directors, can face legal and financial consequences in the event of non-compliance.

‍

Why cybersecurity training is mandatory

The NIS2 Directive requires that all members of management be trained in managing cybersecurity risks. These training courses are crucial to ensure that leaders can not only identify and evaluate risks, but also implement effective measures to protect their organizations.

‍

NIS2 Supervision and Enforcement

The enforcement of the NIS2 regulations is carried out by national authorities, which have extensive powers to monitor compliance. This includes inspections, audits, and the right to require immediate action when identifying deficiencies.

‍

The consequences of non-compliance with NIS2

Failure to comply with NIS2 can result in significant penalties, including:

• warnings;
• binding instructions to correct deficiencies;
• fines and other financial penalties;
• public disclosure of non-compliance.

These sanctions underline the importance of active engagement, initiative, and compliance by management.
