In brief: The NIS2 Directive penalizes risk management violations with fines up to €10 million and requires organizations to implement documented, structured cybersecurity risk management.
The NIS2 Directive provides for fines of up to €10 million if organizations fail to meet their risk management requirements. These penalties apply to companies and critical infrastructures that fall under the scope of the Directive.
The European Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) establishes binding standards for risk management. Organizations must systematically identify, assess and minimize cybersecurity risks. Violations of these requirements are penalized with substantial fines.
For companies in the CRITIS sector (Critical Infrastructures) and other affected organizations, this means in concrete terms: inadequate risk analyses, insufficient documentation, or failure to implement protective measures can result in administrative fines of up to €10 million. Member States are required to establish and enforce such a sanctions system.
