The EU NIS2 and related CER Directive present significant challenges for Important, Essential and Critical entities. These challenges cannot be ignored, particularly as laws introduce new compliance and reporting obligations, including the potential for financial penalties in case of non‑compliance
Achieving compliance requires a coordinated organisational effort, clear accountability, and close alignment between technical, legal, commercial, and management functions. In this webinar, we explore key aspects of NIS2 and CER and how they apply across EU Member States, focusing on the obligations of Important, Essential, and Critical entities.
During the session, NIS2 and CER are discussed from both legal and technical standpoints:
Legal perspective – regulatory context, scope, compliance with national implementing laws, responsible authorities, and supply‑chain requirements
Technical and operational perspective – governance models, ISMS implementation, reporting, and real‑world challenges across IT and OT environments
The webinar aims to make the implementation of NIS2 and CER more “real” for Important, Essential, and Critical entities.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand how NIS2 and CER function as EU directives, and what compliance with national implementing laws means for organisations in scope.
- Gain clarity on which organisations qualify as Important, Essential or Critical entities under NIS2 and CER
- Learn how supply chain and ecosystem security requirements affect governance, contracts and organisational accountability
- See how organisations across Europe are tackling NIS2 and CER challenges today - and what lessons you can apply immediately
- Align legal, technical, commercial, and management functions to enable pragmatic, scalable compliance.
