NIS2 Directive

NIS2 has strengthened the EU's cybersecurity requirements. All organizations with essential services are required to work systematically with their IT security – and demonstrate compliance. River Security has helped organizations meet these demands with clear visibility, actionable insights, and faster response.

Who does NIS2 apply to?

NIS2 applies to all companies based within an EU member state. The NIS2 Directive builds on previous NIS1 Directive and sets out new obligations for operators of essential services (OES) and digital service providers (DSPs).

1. Operators of Essential Services (OES)

Companies that provide essential services such as energy, transportation, banking, financial market, infrastructures, health, water supply, and digital infrastructure. The NIS2 Directive defines OES as entities that meet certain criteria, including size, impact, and interdependence. OES are required to comply with the directive’s security and reporting requirements.

2. Digital Service Providers (DSPs)

Companies that provide online marketplaces, search engines, and cloud computing services. The NIS2 Directive defines DSPs as entities that meet certain criteria, including size and scope of services. DSPs are required to comply with the directive’s security requirements.

What are the NIS2 requirements?

The NIS2 requires essential community services to adopt a systematic and risk-based security approach and report incidents. It expands the scope of sectors and services covered by the regulation and introduces new security and reporting requirements.

Identify and mitigate cybersecurity risks

The NIS2 Directive requires organizations to identify and assess their cybersecurity risks regularly. You need to identify potential vulnerabilities and threats to their systems and applications through continuous monitoring of your attack surface.

By providing actionable insights and recommendations, we can help your organization mitigate your cybersecurity risks and comply with the directive.

Incident response and recovery procedures

The NIS2 Directive mandates that organizations must have effective incident response and recovery procedures in place.

River Security can improve your incident response capabilities by providing real-time alerts and notifications when potential security incidents occur. By helping you respond quickly and effectively to security incidents, we can help you comply with the directive’s requirements.
