Organisations in NIS2 sectors

NIS2 covers far more than banks. If you operate in one of its sectors and are medium-sized or larger, you probably have obligations: risk-management measures approved by management, an early warning on significant incidents within 24 hours, and evidence for the supervisor.

The benefit: you know whether and how NIS2 applies, management approves clear measures, and in an incident you know who reports and when.

Scope and price are confirmed in writing before work starts.

Sectors covered by NIS2

  • Highly critical (Annex I): energy, transport, banking, financial market infrastructure, health, drinking water, waste water, digital infrastructure, ICT (information and communication technology) service management (business-to-business), public administration, space.
  • Other critical (Annex II): postal and courier services, waste management, chemicals, food, manufacturing (medical devices, electronics, electrical equipment, machinery, motor vehicles, other transport equipment), digital providers (online marketplaces, search engines, social networks), research.
  • As a rule medium-sized and large organisations are covered — from 50 employees, or above €10 million annual turnover and balance sheet. Some providers are covered regardless of size. Member States transpose the list; Bulgaria’s Act has its own annexes — see NIS2 in Bulgaria.

What NIS2 asks of you

Management approves and oversees

The management body approves the cybersecurity risk-management measures, oversees them, can be held liable and must be trained (Art. 20).

Ten minimum measures

Risk analysis and policies, incident handling, business continuity and backup, supply-chain security, secure development and vulnerability handling, effectiveness checks, cyber hygiene and training, cryptography, access control and asset management, multi-factor authentication (Art. 21(2)).

Incident reporting

For a significant incident: an early warning within 24 hours of becoming aware of it, an incident notification within 72 hours, and a final report within one month of the notification — or a progress report if the incident is still ongoing (Art. 23).

Fines

The Directive requires national maximum fines of at least €10 million or 2% of worldwide turnover, whichever is higher, for essential entities, and at least €7 million or 1.4% for important entities (Art. 34). The national law sets the actual amounts.

Boundaries

  • We are not a certification body and do not issue legal opinions; legal questions are commissioned separately from a lawyer.
  • We do not act as a statutory EU representative (under GDPR, NIS2 or the AI Act) — that is a separate legal role.
  • Responsibility for decisions and reporting stays with the organisation’s management.

Discuss your case

EU law first, national law where it applies. EU regulations such as DORA (EU Digital Operational Resilience Act), the AI Act and the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) apply directly in every Member State. Directives such as NIS2 (EU cybersecurity directive) are transposed into national law, so scope details, authorities, reporting channels and deadlines depend on the Member State where you are established or operate. Examples on this site often use Bulgarian law; in each engagement we confirm the national law that applies to you and involve local counsel where needed.
