NIS Directive Training

The EU Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS Directive) requires operators of essential services and digital service providers to implement “appropriate and proportionate technical and organisational measures” to manage the risks posed to the security of the network and information systems they use in their operations.

The Directive calls for “effective, proportionate and dissuasive” penalties for infringements, as does the General Data Protection Regulation, which stipulates fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover (whichever is greater) for non-compliance. Some member states have already stated that they intend to implement a similar penalty regime.IT Governance can teach you how to implement and maintain the measures you need to ensure the security and continuity of your systems, in compliance with the new law.

How we can help you comply with the NIS Directive

Operators of essential services and digital service providers can demonstrate that they have applied the measures required by the Directive by implementing an organisational cyber resilience programme that combines information security and business continuity best practice.

Article 19 of the Directive states that member states should “encourage the use of European or internationally accepted standards and specifications relevant to the security of network and information systems”.

There are two relevant international standards that we recommend: ISO/IEC 27001:2013, the international standard for an information security management system (ISMS), and ISO 22301:2012, the international standard for a business continuity management system (BCMS).

An integrated management system (IMS) based on these two best-practice standards will protect your networks and information systems from the majority of threats, and help you recover quickly and efficiently if and when an incident occurs.
