om nis2-direktivet

NIS2 stands for "Network and Information Systems Directive 2" and is a European standard aimed at improving cybersecurity across EU countries.

Den er rettet mod virksomheder og organisationer i kritiske sektorer, herunder bl.a. digitale tjenester samt kritisk infrastruktur, som kan have en betydelig indvirkning på samfundets funktion og sikkerhed. Dette inkluderer blandt andet energi-, transport-, sundheds-, finans- og vandsektorerne, såvel som digitale tjenesteudbydere som cloudtjenester og online markedspladser.

NIS2 requires these companies and organizations to implement a high level of cybersecurity, which includes identifying and managing cybersecurity risks, ensuring continuous operation, and reporting security breaches within 24 hours.

Hvilke krav stiller NIS2?

NIS2-direktivet indfører omfattende krav til ledelse, risikostyring, forretningskontinuitet og rapportering til myndighederne:

  • Organisationens ledelse skal være fuldt ud orienteret om direktivets bestemmelser og de tilhørende risikostyringsaktiviteter. Ledelsen bærer ansvaret for, at cyberrisici identificeres, håndteres effektivt, og at direktivets krav overholdes.

  • Skærpede krav til risikostyring og modstandsdygtighed betyder, at organisationen skal iværksætte både forebyggende og afhjælpende tiltag for at minimere risici og potentielle skader. Blandt de grundlæggende krav er håndtering af sikkerhedshændelser, beskyttelse af cybersikkerheden i forsyningskæder, netværkssikkerhed, adgangskontrol og brug af kryptering.

  • Organisationen skal udarbejde en plan for at opretholde forretningskontinuitet i tilfælde af en alvorlig cyberhændelse. Dette omfatter blandt andet systemgendannelse, aktivering af nødprocedurer og etablering af en kriseorganisation.

  • Det er nødvendigt at have klare procedurer for at sikre korrekt rapportering til myndighederne. Der er særlige krav om, at større sikkerhedshændelser skal rapporteres inden for 24 timer.

NIS2 Implementation Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

STEP 1 - PREPARATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT

risk assessment process
I første fase analyserer vi NIS2-direktivets (og kommende lovgivnings) krav og undersøger, hvordan de specifikt relaterer sig til din organisations kontekst. Dette indebærer en identificering af de områder inden for din organisation, der falder ind under direktivet anvendelsesområde.
 
We conduct a detailed Business Impact Analysis (BIA) aimed at identifying and assessing potential security threats to your organization's information systems. This analysis involves identifying critical assets, potential vulnerabilities, and the likelihood of various threat scenarios. Through the BIA, we gain an understanding of your organization's maturity and risk profile in cybersecurity.
 
The results from the BIA form the foundation for developing a customized implementation plan that addresses specific threats and vulnerabilities. This plan includes clear step-by-step goals, resource allocation, and timelines for implementing necessary security measures. By basing our efforts on this approach, we address the organization's specific challenges and needs, ensuring a targeted and effective approach to NIS2 compliance.

STEP 2 - PLANNING AND DESIGN

In this phase, we utilize the results from the previously conducted Business Impact Analysis (BIA) along with your organization's current IT security to develop an implementation plan. The implementation plan is designed to address both the technical and organizational aspects of cybersecurity.

At the technical level, the plan may involve updates to existing IT infrastructure, implementation of advanced security solutions, and configuration of network protection. This could entail installing firewall systems, intrusion detection/prevention systems, antivirus software, and other tools to safeguard against cyber threats. Additionally, we will ensure that these technical measures adhere to applicable standards and guidelines.

At the organizational level, we will focus on developing or adapting policies and procedures that are fundamental to NIS2 compliance. This may include the development of clear guidelines for handling security incidents, establishment of an emergency response plan, and training employees in security procedures and best practices.

STEP 3 - IMPLEMENTATION

In this phase, we undertake a comprehensive implementation of the necessary policies, procedures, and controls to ensure consistent IT security in your organization. The NIS2 directive defines a series of mandatory measures that we adhere to:

  • Risk analysis and information system securityConducting risk assessments to identify and evaluate potential threats to your information systems and implementing appropriate security measures.
  • Incident management: Establishing robust procedures for handling security incidents, including reporting, analysis, and response to minimize damage and restore normal operations quickly.
  • Business continuity: Ensuring operational continuity through backup solutions, recovery procedures, and a well-defined emergency response plan.
  • Continuous assessment of security measures:Implementing processes to continually evaluate and update your security measures in line with developments in the threat landscape and your organization's needs.
  • Employee trainingDeveloping and delivering tailored training programs to ensure that all employees understand their responsibilities and roles in protecting the organization's systems and data.
  • EncryptionImplementing robust encryption solutions to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your data, both during storage and transmission.
  • Personnel security and access controlImplementing strict access control and procedures to ensure personnel security and restrict access to sensitive information.

As an integral part of the implementation, a comprehensive contingency plan is developed to ensure crisis and disaster management to minimize damage and ensure rapid recovery. This plan includes responsibilities, communication procedures, and recovery strategies.

Vores erfaring fortæller os, at implementeringen kan variere afhængigt af virksomhedens ressourcer og tidligere indsats indenfor IT-sikkerhed. Derfor er det fundamentalt at starte implementeringen i god tid for at sikre, at alle nødvendige tiltag er på plads inden lovgivning, baseret på NIS2-direktivet, træder i kraft i første kvartal 2025.

STEP 4 - Monitoring and Maintenance

We implement processes for ongoing monitoring of security measures to ensure that your organization remains protected against constant and evolving threats. As a general recommendation, we suggest evaluating the threat landscape twice a year to ensure that any new threats are identified, and appropriate measures are implemented to mitigate their impact.

It's important to understand that compliance with NIS2 is not a one-time project. Therefore, we offer regular reviews and updates of security measures to ensure that your organization remains compliant with the regulation over time.

Our primary goal is to make the implementation process as efficient as possible, ensuring that your company not only meets the legal requirements but also strengthens cybersecurity across the organization as a whole. By choosing us as your partner, you gain access to in-depth expertise and an approach tailored to your company's unique needs and challenges.
