The NIS2 Directive aims to enhance cybersecurity across Europe by implementing stricter requirements for organizations, extending accountability to high management in case of breaches. Although public administration tech leaders acknowledge its potential positive impact, they believe it won’t cause significant operational changes due to existing compliance with rigorous standards. The directive is expected to foster awareness and involvement from top management regarding cybersecurity threats, which are a growing concern. During a recent discussion led by CIO España, experts debated the challenges of merging NIS2 with existing procurement laws. While stressing the importance of balancing compliance and supply chain security, many concurred on the need to adapt existing contracting laws to align with NIS2 requirements. Notably, the NIS2 directive could lead to increased collaboration opportunities between private companies and public administrations to enhance cybersecurity practices, rather than just fulfilling obligations. Overall, the dialogue revealed that while technical compliance with NIS2 is somewhat ingrained, adjustments in legal frameworks and responsibility clarifications are pivotal for successful implementation.
