We support companies in meeting NIS2 requirements while ensuring operational security and continuity across SAP processes.
What is the NIS2 Directive and why is compliance mandatory?
The NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Systems Directive 2) is European legislation that strengthens cybersecurity, risk management, and business continuity requirements for companies and organizations providing essential or strategic services.
Following its transposition into Italian law in October 2024, organizations within the scope of NIS2 must demonstrate that they have implemented concrete and verifiable measures, with direct management accountability and significant penalties for non-compliance.
Which companies must comply with NIS2?
The NIS2 Directive significantly expands the scope compared with the previous legislation. It applies to companies operating in strategic sectors or playing a critical role within the supply chain.
Highly critical sectors.
- Energy (electricity, oil, water, hydrogen)
- Healthcare ( hospitals, laboratories, research and development, pharmaceuticals, medical device manufacturers)
- Transportation (air, rail, water and road)
- Banking and finance
- Drinking water
- Digital Infrastructure (IXPs, service providers, data centers, CDNs, TSPs and electronic communications providers)
- B2B ICT Service Management

Other critical sectors.
- Postal and courier services

- Chemicals
- Food produtcion and distribution
- Manufacturing
- Digital services (online marketplaces, search engines and social networks)

IMPORTANT NOTE: applicability also depends on the size of the organization and its operational role. A preliminary assessment is essential to determine whether and how NIS2 applies to your specific organization.
