NIS2 imposes stringent cybersecurity risk management and incident reporting obligations on essential and important entities across 18 critical sectors. With management liability provisions and fines up to 10 million EUR or 2% of global turnover, NIS2 demands board-level attention to cybersecurity governance across the European Union.
