With NIS2, the EU expands the original baseline of cybersecurity risk management measures and reporting obligations to include more sectors and critical organizations. The purpose of establishing a baseline of security measures for digital service providers and operators of essential services is to mitigate the risk of cyberthreats and improve the overall level of cybersecurity in the EU. It also introduces more accountability\u2014through strengthened reporting obligations and increased sanctions or penalties. Organizations have until October 17, 2024, to improve their security posture before they\u2019ll be legally obligated to live up to the requirements of NIS2. The broadened directive stands as a critical milestone for tech enthusiasts and professionals alike. Our team at Microsoft is excited to lead the charge in decoding and navigating this new regulation\u2014especially its impact on compliance and how cloud technology can help organizations adapt. In this blog, we\u2019ll share the key features of NIS2 for security professionals, how your organization can prepare, and how Microsoft Security solutions can help. And for business leaders, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/info.microsoft.com\/WE-PGSD-CNTNT-FY24-09Sep-25-Preparing-for-NIS2-3-Guiding-Principles-for-Leaders-SRGCM10905_LP01-Registration---Form-in-Body.html\">downloadable guide for high-level insights<\/a> into the people, plans, and partners that can help shape effective NIS2 compliance strategies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nis2-key-features\">NIS2 key features&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we take a closer look at the key features of NIS2, we see the new directive includes risk assessments, multifactor authentication, security procedures for employees with access to sensitive data, and more. NIS2 also includes requirements around supply chain security, incident management, and business recovery plans. In total, the comprehensive framework ups the bar from previous requirements to bring:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stronger requirements and more affected sectors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A focus on securing business continuity\u2014including supply chain security.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved and streamlined reporting obligations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More serious repercussions\u2014including fines and legal liability for management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Localized enforcement in all EU Member States.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparing for NIS2 may take considerable effort for organizations still working through digital transformation. But it doesn\u2019t have to be overwhelming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-msxcm-cta-block\" data-moray data-bi-an=\"CTA Block\">\n\t<div class=\"card d-block mx-ng mx-md-0\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row no-gutters material-color-brand-dark\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Security_Blog_Abstract-01-1024x577.jpg\" class=\"card-img img-object-cover\" alt=\"logo, company name\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Security_Blog_Abstract-01-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Security_Blog_Abstract-01-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Security_Blog_Abstract-01-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Security_Blog_Abstract-01-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Security_Blog_Abstract-01-2048x1154.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Security_Blog_Abstract-01-615x346.jpg 615w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Security_Blog_Abstract-01-336x189.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Security_Blog_Abstract-01-189x106.jpg 189w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Security_Blog_Abstract-01-630x354.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"d-flex col-md\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"card-body align-self-center p-4 p-md-5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2>NIS2 guiding principles guide<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Get started on your transformation with three guiding principles for preparing for NIS2.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"link-group\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/info.microsoft.com\/WE-PGSD-CNTNT-FY24-09Sep-25-Preparing-for-NIS2-3-Guiding-Principles-for-Leaders-SRGCM10905_LP01-Registration---Form-in-Body.html\" class=\"btn btn-link text-decoration-none p-0\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Download the guide today<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"glyph-append glyph-append-chevron-right glyph-append-xsmall\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"proactive-defense-the-future-of-cloud-security\">Proactive defense: The future of cloud security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Microsoft, our approach to NIS2 readiness is a blend of technical insight, innovative strategies, and deep legal understanding.
