In light of the European Union's NIS2 directive, many organizations across Europe are reassessing their security frameworks. This directive, which takes effect in October 2024, aims to significantly enhance cybersecurity standards throughout the EU through stringent legal measures. Milesight aligns with the Network and Information Security (NIS2) Directive to ensure the highest standards of cybersecurity and compliance for our valued customers.
What Is the NIS2 Directive?
The NIS2 Directive, formally known as the Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS2), is a significant legislative measure adopted by the European Union to strengthen cybersecurity across member states. This directive builds upon the original NIS Directive, expanding its scope and introducing more stringent requirements to ensure higher security and resilience for critical infrastructure and essential services.
- Expanded Scope: NIS2 broadens its applicability to include more industries and entities, particularly medium and large enterprises. It covers critical infrastructure sectors such as healthcare, energy, transportation, and public administration.
- Stricter Cybersecurity Requirements: the directive imposes more rigorous security requirements on relevant organizations, including risk management, incident reporting, and supply chain security measures.
- Unified Enforcement Mechanism: NIS2 aims to achieve unified cybersecurity enforcement across the EU, enhancing cooperation among member states, clarifying enforcement rules, and imposing stricter penalties for non-compliance.
- Incident Reporting Mechanism: Under NIS2, companies must report significant cybersecurity incidents to the relevant authorities within 24 hours of detection to minimize the impact and coordinate response measures.
How Milesight Aligns with NIS2 Compliance
- Assessment of Existing Security System: Milesight continuously undertakes a comprehensive self-assessment of its existing security system to ensure ongoing compliance with the various requirements of the NIS2 Directive.
- Security Vulnerability Management: We ensure prompt handling and reporting of cybersecurity vulnerabilities through proactive identification, swift mitigation, and transparent disclosure.
- Supply Chain Security: Strengthen security audits and risk assessments of suppliers to ensure that every link in the supply chain complies with the requirements of the NIS2 Directive.
- Strengthening Data Encryption: Milesight encrypts video data and other sensitive information to ensure data transmission and storage security.
