NIS2 Directive Compliance
The NIS2 Directive establishes cybersecurity requirements for critical infrastructure in the EU. Learn how anonym.legal supports your NIS2 compliance efforts.
What is the NIS2 Directive?
The NIS2 Directive (Directive 2022/2555) is the EU's updated cybersecurity framework that replaced NIS1 on October 17, 2024. It establishes a unified legal framework to uphold cybersecurity across 18 critical sectors in the European Union.
NIS2 sets strict requirements in four key areas: risk management, corporate accountability, reporting obligations, and business continuity. Organizations must implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures, including data encryption and pseudonymization.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NIS2 Directive?
NIS2 (Network and Information Security Directive 2) is an EU cybersecurity directive that establishes security requirements for organizations in critical sectors. It became effective on October 17, 2024, replacing NIS1 with stricter rules and broader scope across 18 sectors.
Who does NIS2 apply to?
NIS2 applies to essential and important entities in 18 sectors including healthcare, energy, transport, banking, financial market infrastructures, digital infrastructure, public administration, and more. It covers medium and large organizations operating in or providing services to the EU.
How does anonym.legal help with NIS2 compliance?
anonym.legal supports NIS2 requirements through: (1) Data encryption with AES-256-GCM, (2) Pseudonymization and anonymization of personal data, (3) Zero-knowledge authentication for access control, (4) EU data residency on ISO 27001-certified servers in Germany, (5) Audit logging for incident response.
What are the NIS2 penalties for non-compliance?
Essential entities face penalties up to €10 million or 2% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher. Important entities face penalties up to €7 million or 1.4% of global revenue. Management can also be held personally liable.
Is NIS2 the same as GDPR?
No. GDPR focuses on personal data protection and privacy rights. NIS2 focuses on cybersecurity and network/information system security. However, they complement each other — both require data protection measures, and NIS2 explicitly references pseudonymization as a security measure.
