NIS2 Directive: Is Your Organization Ready for NIS2 Compliance?
The NIS2 Directive will significantly reshape cybersecurity requirements across the European Union, affecting more than 100,000 organizations. Businesses in Latvia should already be asking – how prepared are we for NIS2 compliance?
More insights are available in the August issue of “Ir Nauda”, where Datakom Chairman of the Board Jānis Čupriks and Security Auditor Sergejs Parfejevs explain why preparation must start now.
What is the NIS2 Directive?
NIS2 is a European Union regulation aimed at improving organizational cybersecurity, strengthening risk management, and ensuring a higher level of protection against cyber threats.
Compared to the previous directive, NIS2:
- expands the range of organizations it applies to
- introduces stricter cybersecurity requirements
- places greater responsibility on company management
This means that NIS2 compliance is no longer just an IT issue – it is a business priority.
NIS2 Requirements and Risks for Organizations
Failure to comply with NIS2 requirements can lead to serious consequences:
- significant financial penalties
- reputational damage
- operational disruptions
However, the biggest risk is often less visible – organizations believe they are prepared, while in reality they lack a structured approach to cybersecurity.
Many organizations in Latvia:
- have implemented security tools
- but lack full visibility into their risks
- are unable to demonstrate compliance
NIS2 Compliance in Latvia: Where Organizations Fall Behind?
In practice, NIS2 compliance is often treated as a documentation or audit exercise.
In reality, it is:
- a continuous process
- structured risk management
- clearly defined responsibilities across the organization
Without a proper assessment, organizations:
- cannot identify critical risks
- react only after incidents occur
- expose themselves to unnecessary risk
