Simplify NIS and NIS2 Directive compliance

The NIS Directive enhances cybersecurity across EU states by setting common standards, protecting critical infrastructure, promoting risk-based approaches, and fostering collaboration.

With the threat landscape constantly evolving, the EU has launched the NIS2 Directive, set to take effect in October 2024. Building on NIS's foundation, NIS2 strengthens cyber resilience, fostering collaboration and information-sharing for a more secure EU digital environment.

Evolution to the NIS2 Directive

The NIS2 Directive follows many of the same principles as NIS, but with several key additions.

Expanded coverage and accountability

NIS2 broadens coverage to include more entities and industries while increasing accountability for management and personal responsibility.

Enhanced incident response framework

Introduces new methods for selection, registration, and incident notification deadlines, along with mandatory incident reporting.

Introduction of sanctions and enforcement measures

NIS2 implements sanctions comparable to GDPR and strengthens enforcement to ensure compliance.

Manage evolving NIS2 requirements

Adopt a risk-based approach to effectively manage the expanded scope and stricter NIS2 requirements.

Key Capabilities

Industries covered

NIS2 expands its reach to 15 industries, replacing Operators of Essential Services (OES) and Digital Service Providers (DSPs) with Essential Entities (EE) and Important Entities (IE). Both must adhere to NIS2 cybersecurity standards, with EE facing stricter reporting and supervision requirements based on factors like size, sector, and criticality.

Cybersecurity risk management

Essential and important entities are mandated to implement appropriate technical, operational, and organizational measures to mitigate risks to their systems and minimize incident impacts. These measures, outlined in Article 21 of the NIS2 Directive, encompass 10 minimum best practices.

Adopt a risk-based systematic approach

To meet NIS and NIS2 requirements effectively, prioritize the adoption of risk-based cybersecurity practices. Proactively assess and manage risks tailored to your organization's circumstances and potential cyber incident impacts.

How Tenable helps

Tenable's product suite and exposure management platform covers many of the essential aspects required by NIS2, offering comprehensive solutions for proactive cybersecurity risk management.

Inventory and protect the entire attack surface

Tenable helps entities fully identify, classify, and protect critical information systems and components. With unparalleled visibility across IT, Cloud, IoT, and OT environments, coupled with advanced analytics, we quantify cyber risk in business terms, empowering strategic decision-making.

Support for multiple security frameworks

Tenable helps responsible entities implement common technical controls based on accepted security frameworks, such as ISO/IEC 27001/2, ISO/IEC 27019 and ISA-62443. These controls can easily be adapted to support specific local standards.

Monitor and assess safely

Tenable provides you with both active scanning and passive monitoring. You can safely and passively identify and assess vulnerabilities continuously, and you can periodically actively scan robust IT-based assets.

Streamline reporting

Report and dashboard templates simplify the work of documenting compliance status for National Competent Authorities. Assess network and information systems once and generate tailored reports for each of multiple compliance requirements, if needed.
