Prepared for NIS2 legislation: YIM helps you into the future

NIS2 guideline: what you need to know?

The Network and Information Systems 2 Directive, or NIS2 for short, is a European legislation that encourages companies to better secure their digital networks and information systems. This directive expands the scope considerably, targeting both vital sectors and other key sectors, such as waste management, postal and courier services, and public services. In short, if your company operates in any of these sectors, you cannot avoid the NIS2.

Why NIS2 should be a top priority

NIS2 offers companies the chance to take their cyber security to the next level. With the right people, sound planning and reliable partners, you can ensure that your operations are well protected and your business continuity is maintained. In addition, compliance with NIS2 strengthens the trust of customers, partners and shareholders. How do you best tackle this? Focus on these three core areas: people, planning and partners.

People: the key to success

Cyber security goes far beyond IT; it requires the involvement of everyone in the organisation. As 62% of malware attacks start with social engineering, the human aspect is crucial. Strengthening your cyber security teams is essential, especially given the shortage of 500,000 specialists in Europe. AI tools can play a valuable role here by increasing efficiency and lightening the workload.

Planning: be prepared for anything

NIS2 requires companies to have proactive plans to mitigate risks and respond appropriately to incidents. It is crucial to be well prepared so that you always stay one step ahead of potential threats. This means developing a solid strategy for all possible scenarios.

Partners: YIM, your reliable partner

Soon you will have to manage more identities than just your own. NIS2 emphasises new monitoring and reporting methods, with zero trust being the norm. While NIS2 does not specifically address identity and access management, it does underline its importance. This is where YIM comes in.

Our internationally recognised certifications such as ISO27001, ISO27701 and the SOC2 Type II statement underline our commitment to top-level information security and privacy.
