The NIS2 Directive - more secure services, but also more severe sanctions
Digitalisation in Europe and in Bulgaria continues to happen, sometimes slower, sometimes faster, but regardless of the pace one thing is certain - the digital world is growing, increasing not only the digital threats, but also the significance of their consequences. While there is room for improvement, mobile banking and insurance, e-signing of contracts and documents, e-administrative services are now widely available. In parallel, the internal processes of companies and public organisations that are critical to society, for example in the energy, transport and health sectors, depend heavily on information systems and services. In this context, it is not surprising that ensuring better security is becoming a key priority for European regulators. This brings us to the entry into force of the Network and Information Security Directive NIS 2 on 17 October, a deadline that has been missed by most EU countries and the rules have yet to be transposed into national legislation. Why the delay, what are the challenges for Member States and what does it mean for Bulgarian business are the main questions that companies are concerned about. *This is an interview with Nikola Stoychev by Maria Karashanova.
