NIS2 applies to medium and large entities in 18 critical sectors, including energy, banking, health, and digital infrastructure. It categorizes organizations as either “Essential” or “Important,” with Essential entities facing the strictest oversight and highest potential penalties.
What does Article 21 require for supply chain security?
Article 21 mandates that covered entities manage the cybersecurity risks of their direct suppliers and service providers. This means you must perform risk assessments, conduct due diligence, and ensure vendors follow secure development and vulnerability disclosure practices.

For “significant” incidents, NIS2 requires a strict multi-stage reporting process:
- 24-Hour Early Warning: Initial alert to national authorities or CSIRT.
- 72-Hour Notification: Detailed update with a severity and impact assessment.
- 1-Month Final Report: Full description including root cause and mitigation.
