NIS2
What does this law mean for your organisation?
NIS2 is European legislation on cybersecurity. The law helps organisations better protect themselves against digital threats, such as phishing, data theft and ransomware.
Cybersecurity is not just a task for IT. Employees also play an important role. Sometimes a single wrong click is enough to cause major consequences.
What is NIS2?
NIS2 is about keeping computers, systems and data safe. The law mainly targets organisations that are important to society or the economy, such as healthcare, energy, logistics and IT services.
But smaller organisations can be affected too. For example, because customers, suppliers or partners set higher requirements for digital security.
NIS2 is not just about technology. Employees play an important role in recognising risks, handling data safely and reporting suspicious situations.
Digital systems
Organisations are more dependent than ever on online systems.
From 1 July 2026
The Cyberbeveiligingswet, the Dutch implementation of NIS2, is expected to take effect around 1 July 2026.
The human factor
Aware employees help prevent and recognise incidents faster.
What is cybersecurity awareness?
Being aware of cybersecurity means employees understand which digital risks exist and how to handle systems, data and communication safely.
In the NIS2 context, it's important that employees recognise risks and know what to do in suspicious situations. Think of phishing emails, unexpected attachments, strange login attempts or incorrectly sharing sensitive information.
It's not only about technical knowledge. Everyday choices make the difference: checking before you click, handling passwords carefully and reporting suspicious situations.
- Recognising phishing and suspicious messages
- Handling passwords and access safely
- Handling data and privacy consciously
- Knowing when to report something
- Understanding why cybersecurity affects everyone
Cybersecurity is not just something for IT. Everyone in the organisation plays a role.
