The European Union’s NIS2 Directive, effective January 17, 2025, represents a significant overhaul of the original NIS framework, tightening cybersecurity obligations for operators of essential services (OES) and digital service providers (DSPs). For industries such as manufacturing, oil & gas, energy, and other critical infrastructure sectors, achieving compliance with NIS2 isn’t just a legal necessity, it’s a strategic imperative to safeguard production continuity, protect critical assets, and maintain stakeholder trust.
Why NIS2 compliance is essential?
Expanded Scope and Stricter Penalties
NIS2 extends its reach to more sectors (including certain manufacturing and energy sub-sectors) and imposes fines up to 2% of annual turnover for non-compliance.

Harmonized Cybersecurity Requirements
Uniform rules across the EU reduce fragmented national approaches, ensuring that OT/ICS environments meet a consistent baseline of technical and organizational measures.

Focus on Supply-Chain Resilience
NIS2 mandates due diligence for suppliers and service providers, crucial for OT ecosystems relying on third-party components and software.

Mandatory Incident Reporting
Faster detection and reporting timelines (within 24 hours of awareness) minimize downtime and reputational damage.

Playbook Creation: Develop OT-focused incident response procedures aligned with NIS2 timelines.
Simulations and Tabletop Exercises: Train your team on rapid detection, containment, and reporting workflows.
Regulatory Liaison: Assist in drafting incident notifications to national CSIRTs within 24-hour requirements.
4. Supply-Chain Due Diligence
Vendor Cybersecurity Assessments: Evaluate supplier security posture via questionnaires and audits.
Contractual Controls: Embed NIS2-aligned security clauses into procurement agreements.
Continuous Monitoring: Integrate threat-intelligence feeds to flag supplier vulnerabilities in real time.
5. Technical Controls Implementation
Network Segmentation & Zoning: Design and deploy industrial DMZs, micro-segmentation, and secure remote access.
Security Information & Event Management (SIEM): Customize SIEM and anomaly detection for OT telemetry.
Patch Management & Hardening: Develop safe patching schedules that respect production constraints.
6. Governance, Documentation & Audit Readiness
Policy & Procedure Documentation: Create NIS2-compliant cybersecurity policies tailored to OT/ICS.
Internal Audit Support: Pre-audit reviews, remediation guidance, and evidence preparation.
