Webinar: NIS2 Directive – What Irish Businesses Need to Know

The NIS2 Directive is a major EU cybersecurity regulation that significantly expands the scope, expectations, and accountability around how organisations protect their systems and data. It replaces the original NIS Directive and introduces stricter security requirements, mandatory incident reporting timelines, and clear responsibility at senior management and board level.

This webinar will explain what NIS2 is, who it applies to, and why it is critical for businesses operating in Ireland to act now. NIS2 affects a wide range of sectors including energy, transport, healthcare, digital infrastructure, manufacturing, and ICT service providers, with many medium and large organisations now falling into scope for the first time.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of:

• The purpose of NIS2 and how it strengthens cyber resilience across the EU

• Which Irish organisations are classified as Essential or Important entities

• Key obligations under NIS2, including risk management, governance, and incident reporting

• The increased accountability for senior leadership and the potential consequences of non-compliance

• What organisations should be doing now to prepare and demonstrate readiness

With Ireland implementing NIS2 through national legislation and regulatory oversight, this session is essential for business leaders, compliance teams, and IT decision-makers who need clarity on their responsibilities and the practical steps required to reduce risk and meet regulatory expectations.
