The directive applies to entities with over 50 employees or €10 million in revenue, providing essential services within sectors like energy, healthcare, digital infrastructure, and more. Non-compliance may lead to fines of up to €10 million or 2% of total annual turnover.
Compliance with NIS2 is mandatory to comply by 17th October 2024.
