New proposed NIS Directive – NIS2
The NIS directive was passed in 2016, which is the same year as the more famous General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The Commission has reviewed the functioning of the NIS directive as stipulated by Article 23 in the directive. The evaluation has among all concluded that the NIS Directive does not provide sufficient clarity regarding the scope criteria for the Operators of Essential Services (OESs). The supervision and enforcement regime of the NIS is also ineffective. Therefore, a new version, NIS2 Directive, is proposed.
