NIS2 Requirements

What does NIS2 require?

Identifying whether your organisation qualifies as an essential or important entity

Implementing comprehensive cybersecurity risk management measures

Establishing incident detection, response, and reporting processes

Securing supply chains and managing third party risk

Ensuring senior leadership accountability and governance oversight

Maintaining ongoing monitoring, testing, and continuous improvement

Business Benefits

Benefits of achieving NIS2 compliance

Operational resilience

Protect your critical cloud infrastructure and ensure continuity in the face of evolving cyber threats.

Reduced regulatory and financial risk

Meet mandatory requirements and avoid penalties through structured, defensible compliance.

Improve visibility and control across your organisation

Gain a clear understanding of risk and policy effectiveness so no threat goes undetected.

Build trust with partners, and customers

Demonstrate a proactive approach to cybersecurity and resilience.

Strengthen supply chain resilience

Address NIS2 Art.21(2)(d) by bringing third-party risk into the same platform as your compliance posture — not a separate spreadsheet.

Compliance posture

Reduce compliance friction

Continuously assess your NIS2 compliance posture with automated scoring across the framework, enabling confident reporting, faster gap identification, and team alignment to focus remediation on the highest-priority risks.

Risk management

Catalogue and manage business risk

Create, catalogue, and visualise business risks in one place. With pre-built risk templates your team can build a comprehensive risk profile with clear assessment, ownership, and treatment rationale, allowing you to document your risk analysis process and treatment decisions for compliance auditors.

Audit evidence

Policy management

Store, version, and manage your information security policies and vendor contracts in one place. Each policy is linked to the controls it satisfies, making it straightforward to show auditors exactly how your documentation supports your compliance programme.

Supply chain risk

Integrated vendor risk management

Supply chain risk is a growing focus area under NIS2, and managing it manually quickly becomes unsustainable. Maintain your ICT supplier inventory, integrate supply chain risk directly into your compliance posture, and evaluate vendor security with pre-built and custom questionnaires.

Every compliance workflow in one place

Beyond framework dashboards, TENET ships a full suite of compliance modules that keep your programme complete and audit-ready.

Incident Management

Track security incidents end-to-end — classification, severity, timeline, impact scope, and Art.23 notification deadlines (24h / 72h / 1-month).

Accelerated Remediation

Reduce mean time to remediation with a unified platform that enables teams to assign issues with remediation guidance to the right owners, and progress tracking until resolution without ever leaving the platform.

Exec-Ready Reports

Generate on-demand compliance reports that translate technical posture data into clear summaries your leadership and board can act on — no slide-deck assembly required.

FAQs

Does NIS2 apply to my organisation?

NIS2 applies to medium and large organisations that operate in one of the in-scope sectors — either as essential or important entities. A medium organisation is defined as one with more than 50 employees or an annual turnover or balance sheet above €10M. Some organisations (such as critical infrastructure providers and top-level domain registries) are in scope regardless of size. If your organisation provides services across EU member states in an in-scope sector, you should assume NIS2 applies.

What security measures does NIS2 require us to implement?

Art.21(2) defines 10 mandatory security measure categories. These include risk analysis and information security policies, incident handling, business continuity and crisis management, supply chain security, network security, cyber hygiene and training, cryptography and encryption, HR security and access control, asset management, and multi-factor authentication. Each category must be addressed with proportionate technical and organisational measures based on your risk exposure.

What are the penalties for NIS2 non-compliance?

For essential entities, national authorities can impose administrative fines of up to €10 million or 2% of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. For important entities, the ceiling is €7 million or 1.4% of worldwide annual turnover. Beyond financial penalties, authorities can impose temporary bans on individuals in management positions and mandate public disclosure of non-compliance findings.

How quickly do we need to report incidents under NIS2?

Art.23 sets three mandatory reporting deadlines. Within 24 hours of becoming aware of a significant incident, you must submit an early warning to the relevant national authority. Within 72 hours, you must submit a full incident notification including an initial assessment of its severity. Finally, within one month, you must submit a final report covering the full description, impact, root cause, and any cross-border implications. TENET lets you track all three deadlines against each incident.

How does TENET simplify NIS2 compliance?

TENET simplifies NIS2 compliance by automating the mapping of your security controls and evidence to the NIS2 requirements. It provides real-time compliance monitoring, automated reporting, and audit-ready documentation, reducing the manual effort and ensuring timely adherence to regulatory deadlines.
