NIS2 (Network and Information Security Directive)

EU directive requiring essential and important entities to implement cybersecurity and incident reporting measures.

NIS2 is the EU's updated Network and Information Security Directive, expanding the scope of cybersecurity requirements to more sectors including healthcare, digital infrastructure, public administration, and ICT services. It requires organizations to implement risk management measures, report significant incidents, and maintain incident response capabilities. For monitoring and status page providers, NIS2 means customers in regulated sectors need tools that support structured incident management, EU data residency, and audit trails. Upwarden's incident lifecycle management and EU-only hosting support NIS2 compliance requirements.
