NIS2 is cybersecurity’s GDPR

NIS2 raises the bar for cybersecurity and risk management. And since attacks often begin with email, domains, and DNS, those areas need to be properly protected.

NIS2 and DORA: Why Cybersecurity Has Become a Board-Level Responsibility

What are NIS2 and DORA?

NIS2 is an EU Directive, and DORA is an EU Regulation. Together, they raise the bar for cybersecurity and operational resilience across many organisations. And the ultimate responsibility now sits at leadership level.

  • Board accountability: Boards and senior management are held accountable for cyber risk.
  • Real controls, not just policy: Preventive security measures must be implemented and running, not only described in documents.
  • Inbound and outbound email: Phishing, impersonation, and service disruptions can become reportable incidents.
  • Documentation required: Organisations must be able to demonstrate control, oversight, and preparedness.

FAQ about NIS2/DORA

NIS2 is the EU’s updated cybersecurity directive, designed to raise the level of cyber resilience across essential and important sectors. It expands the scope of the original NIS directive and introduces stricter requirements for risk management, incident reporting, and management accountability across essential and important sectors.

Responsibility extends beyond IT. Under NIS2, management and boards are explicitly accountable for ensuring appropriate cybersecurity measures and oversight are in place.

Non-compliance can result in fines, legal consequences, and damage to both your brand and your business. More importantly, the directive is about having effective security controls in place that reduce vulnerabilities and strengthen your resilience against attacks.

NIS2 is a directive that must be implemented into national law and applies across many sectors. DORA is a regulation focused on the financial sector and applies directly across the EU. Both require demonstrable preventive controls, not just policies.

Email remains the most common entry point for phishing, impersonation, and account takeover, all of which can lead to reportable incidents under NIS2 and DORA.
