DLA Piper Technology Sector’s Post

The Netherlands has closed its consultation phase on its implementation law for the NIS2 Directive (the "Cyberbeveiligingswet"). The next version will then be reviewed and (eventually) approved by the Dutch Parliament and the Senate. In this sense, the Netherlands is behind on meeting its deadline but we are far from alone in that respect. We're tracking the developments of this important act for our clients - particularly as while some elements of the Cyberbeveiligingswet are comprehensive others are missing entirely (I'm looking at you - 'personal liability for management' 🤔). More information about the scope, purposes and impact of this important Directive in the article below.

And it's here - NIS2 D-Day has arrived! Or at least today was meant to be the deadline for Member States to have their implementing laws in place. Yet with only 6 of the 26 EU Member States having fully enacted NIS2 into national law, are the EU's ambitions for a fully-harmonised cybersecurity landscape at threat? One thing is certain - it leaves organisations with cross-border operations with a real headache to work out where the new law applies and where it is pending, not to mention analyse the new local laws that have landed to spot any divergences from the Directive's core terms. As ever, at DLA Piper we're using our global presence and expert local counsel to do our best to unwind the NIS2 knots, and will keep on providing updates as national law implementations go live. #NIS2 #Cybersecurity #cyberlaw #dlapiper #EUDigitalDecade

Yesterday, NIS2 should have been implemented by all Member States. As you can see in our blog, quite some countries are too late and are still in the progress of getting their legislation ready! Quite remarkable I would as say as cyber resilience is considered so important.

The new regulations aim to increase security standards across sectors, highlighting the urgency for governments & industries to take swift action. Enhancing cybersecurity measures via layered security with #WebFiltering can ensure networks remain protected https://cnb.cx/40hDx7m

🚨Tomorrow October 17th is the deadline for the implementation of NIS2🚨 This represents a significant turning point for companies in EU member states 🇪🇺 ,  especially those in critical infrastructure sectors like energy, transport, water, and manufacturing. One of the main challenges is ensuring compliance in Operational Technology (OT) environments, since many were not initially designed with cybersecurity in mind, making them vulnerable to attacks, yet they play a crucial role. Organizations must take proactive measures—conduct risk assessments, revise their governance structures, and implement the required technology solutions to align with NIS2’s demanding standards and improve their resilience against cyber threats.

The EU's NIS2 Directive, which took effect in October 2024, significantly enhances cybersecurity requirements across the Union. It broadens the scope of mandatory cybersecurity practices to more sectors and companies, particularly in critical industries like energy, healthcare, and digital infrastructure. NIS2 mandates stricter reporting, risk management, and information-sharing protocols to strengthen Europe's overall cyber resilience. Companies must now comply with tougher regulations, and member states are required to establish national authorities to oversee enforcement.

New European Union regulations on cybersecurity are facing challenges as many member states have not yet adopted the rules to meet the enforcement deadline. Research indicates a slow start in implementing the directive. Businesses will have a “duty of care” to report and share information on cyber vulnerabilities and hacks with other companies under the new regulation — even if it means owning up to being a victim of a cyber breach. If a business falls victim to a cyber breach, they’ll have 24 hours to submit an early warning notification to authorities — a stricter timeline than the 72-hour window firms have to notify authorities about a data breach under the General Data Protection Regulation, a separate data privacy law in the EU. Firms will also have to vet their technology vendors one by one for cyber threats and vulnerabilities. #EU #Cybersecurity #Regulations

📣 Are You NIS2 Ready? Strengthening Cybersecurity in OT 📣 As the digital world changes, the NIS2 Directive is an important step forward for improving cybersecurity in the EU. This legislation introduces stricter security requirements for essential services, particularly within Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS). With the increasing convergence of IT and OT, organizations must prioritize robust cybersecurity measures to protect critical infrastructure. Now is the time to assess our strategies, ensuring not only compliance but also resilience against cyber threats.
