Understanding NIS2

What is Network and Information Security Directive 2?

NIS2 is the EU directive that expands cybersecurity obligations to an estimated 160,000 organisations across 18 critical sectors. It introduces personal management liability and explicit requirements for employee cybersecurity training.

Article 20 requires management bodies to undergo cybersecurity training themselves and ensure all employees receive regular security awareness training. National authorities can fine organisations and personally ban non-compliant managers from their roles.

NIS2 covers essential entities (energy, transport, banking, health, digital infrastructure, public administration) and important entities (manufacturing, food, chemicals, postal, digital providers, research). CyberSek helps organisations across all covered sectors meet their Article 20 obligations.

Why Awareness Training Matters

What Happens Without
NIS2 Employee Awareness?

Most compliance failures trace back to employees who weren’t trained. Here’s what’s at stake.

Personal liability for management
NIS2 can ban senior managers from their roles if non-compliance results from management negligence. This is unprecedented personal accountability in EU cybersecurity law.
Fines up to 10 million euros or 2% of global turnover
Essential entity fines reach 10 million euros or 2% of global turnover. Important entity fines reach 7 million euros or 1.4%.
Missing the 24-hour incident window
Significant incidents require an early warning within 24 hours. Staff who cannot recognise an incident cost your organisation this window — and non-notification is penalised separately.
Supply chain liability
NIS2 requires managing cybersecurity in your supply chain. Inadequate oversight of suppliers who cause incidents increases your own exposure.
Sector regulator scrutiny
Energy, health, digital infrastructure, and other sector regulators are building enforcement capacity specifically for NIS2. Early compliance demonstrates good faith.

What employees learn:
Management learn their personal Article 20 obligations. All staff learn what NIS2 means for them, how to recognise and report incidents, why supply chain risks matter, and the 24-hour notification process.
