Comprehensive Protection and Security for Critical Infrastructures

NIS2 and RCE – EU Directives for Cyber Resilience and Physical Security

Cybercrime against businesses, infrastructures, and supply chains is rapidly increasing. To counter these threats, the NIS2 Regulation (EU 2022/2555) will be enforced from October 2024, enhancing Resilience and Physical Security across Europe. Additionally, the RCE Directive (EU 2022/2557) mandates operators of critical facilities to implement stringent Cyber Security measures and report serious incidents.  

Staying technologically advanced is essential for an organization’s resilience. Don’t wait until it’s too late – ensure compliance with the upcoming NIS2 and RCE regulations now! 

Who is Affected?

Many companies in the EU will be directly impacted by the NIS2 (2022/2555) and RCE (2022/2557) directives as their scope is broader and thresholds lower than previous regulations. Companies should assess whether they fall under the scope and meet the thresholds as soon as the national implementation law is enacted.

What Does the Implementation of NIS2 and RCE Directives Involve?

For all companies, not only operators of critical infrastructures, educational institutions and public administrations, having a technological edge is not a luxury, but a must. Be prepared and drop a query, or check the Commend Whitepaper on Cyber Security and Cyber Defense below. 

Resilience

Operators must adhere to guidelines including reporting obligations, risk analysis, crisis and risk management, and developing robust emergency plans that ensure measures are “appropriate and proportional” and technologically up-to-date.

Regulatory Oversight

Compliance will be monitored by regulatory bodies and government agencies.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

Management must approve and oversee the implementation of required measures. They are personally liable for violations and face significant fines.

What Does Management Need to Know?

According to NIS2 and RCE regulations, appropriate organizational, operational, and technical measures must be taken:

Risk Control and Incident Mitigation
Measures are required to control risks and minimize the impact of security incidents on network and information systems.

Secure Communication Systems
Emphasis on secure communication for both normal and emergency operations.

Supply Chain Security
Ensure Cyber Security throughout the supply chain by close collaboration between operators and suppliers.

With this in view, the regulations strongly encourage compliance with relevant norms and standards, whereby following standards are of particular importance and have proven themselves in practice:

  • Information security management systems according to ISO 27001
  • Technical risk management according to EN 50726
  • Communication systems according to IEC 62820-2 (ASBIS)

Physical Security Meets Cyber Security

Commend Leading the Way to Compliance and Security
for EU-NIS2 and EU-RCE

Security technologies like access control, video surveillance, and intercom systems protect critical infrastructure perimeters as well as access points. However, as part of the IT landscape, they are vulnerable to cyber threats. A cyber attack on these systems can disrupt business operations, with connected devices potentially compromising your system security.

The consequences include high outage costs, reputational damage, financial claims, component replacements, and data theft. At Commend, we lead in Cyber Security, keeping our customers technologically up-to-date and ensuring their peace of mind.
