With Kiwa as your partner, you can meet NIS2 compliance (the European directive for network and information security) efficiently and in a structured way. This new cybersecurity legislation helps organizations strengthen their digital resilience, meet European requirements and increase trust throughout the entire supply chain. The NIS2 directive (Network and Information Security Directive) replaces the earlier NIS directive and requires organizations in essential and important sectors to demonstrate cybersecurity. With NIS2 compliance, you show that your organization has embedded cybersecurity in a structural way based on recognized European standards.
The main benefits
Discover the key benefits of NIS2 compliance for your organization:
Protect your digital infrastructure and critical systems
The European NIS2 directive ensures that network and information systems essential to your operations and services are well protected against cyber threats. This helps you meet the cybersecurity requirements stemming from European cybersecurity legislation and increases your resilience to cyberattacks.
Reduce risks and strengthen your digital resilience
NIS2 requires effective cybersecurity risk management. Through risk analyses and appropriate technical and organizational measures, you manage vulnerabilities within your IT and OT environments. This includes incident response, access control and continuity planning across both IT and industrial automation and control systems (IACS), according to standards such as IEC 62443.
Comply with European laws and regulations
The NIS2 requirements are included in the upcoming Dutch Cybersecurity Act (Cyberbeveiligingswet, Cbw). This legislation includes a duty of care, an obligation to report cybersecurity incidents and a registration requirement. By meeting these obligations, you comply with European digital security requirements and avoid sanctions from supervisory authorities.
Strengthen trust among customers and supply chain partners
Organizations that comply with the NIS2 Directive demonstrate that they handle digital risks with care. This strengthens the confidence of customers, suppliers and regulators and enhances your reputation as a reliable partner within critical infrastructure and other regulated sectors.
Improve efficiency and structure
Implementing NIS2 measures brings more structure to your cybersecurity policy. Employees understand their responsibilities and incidents can be detected and handled more quickly. This contributes to higher digital resilience and a culture of continuous improvement.
Strengthen your position within your sector
In sectors falling under the scope of NIS2, such as energy, transport, healthcare, digital infrastructure and industrial production, demonstrable compliance offers a competitive advantage. Increasingly, clients require compliance with this European cybersecurity directive as a condition for cooperation.
Safeguard continuity through audits and improvement
Regular evaluations and audits ensure that your NIS2 measures remain up to date and embedded. This allows you to meet the latest cybersecurity legislation, prevent disruptions and continuously demonstrate that your security measures are effective.
With Kiwa as your certification partner, you integrate cybersecurity and risk management into your daily operations, from policy and privacy by design to incident response and compliance. Kiwa supports you every step of the way toward successful NIS2 compliance and enhanced digital resilience.
