Customer problem

In Poland, NIS2 rules have applied since 3 April 2026 — obligations must be in place by 3 April 2027

The NIS2 Directive and, in Poland, the amended National Cybersecurity System Act (in force since 3 April 2026) require essential and important entities to have: cybersecurity policy, risk management plan, incident response procedures, incident reporting to CSIRT, training, audits. The deadline for registering in the list of entities passed on 3 October 2026; the security management system and other obligations must be in place by 3 April 2027. Fines: up to EUR 10 million or 2% of worldwide annual turnover for essential entities and up to EUR 7 million or 1.4% for important entities (whichever is higher).

NIS2 implementation is a 6–12 month project in a typical company. We run it in stages: readiness audit, organization-tailored policy design, technical and organizational safeguards rollout, leadership and employee training, CSIRT reporting preparation. Pace depends on the baseline maturity of cybersecurity, organization scale and availability of the client-side team.

Your solution

Typical NIS2 scenarios

Essential entity (energy, transport, finance)

Essential entity (energy, transport, finance)

Usually large companies in Annex 1 sectors. Risk-management obligations are the same as for important entities, but supervision is both ex ante and ex post, and the first security audit is due by 3 April 2028. Policies, 24/7 monitoring, procedures, incident reporting to CSIRT.

Business benefits

Audit readiness and lower risk of fines

NIS2 obligations are implemented and documented, so the company is ready for an inspection by the supervisory authority. The risk of fines (for essential entities up to EUR 10 million or 2% of turnover) drops significantly.

Professional incident response

Ready procedures, escalation paths, CSIRT reporting. In case of incident — company acts professionally.

Employee awareness

Regular training, phishing tests, security culture. People are weakest link — much stronger after rollout.

Who this is for

Who this is for

NIS2 essential and important entities

Companies in sectors: energy, transport, finance, health, drinking water, digital infrastructure, ICT, space, telecom, administration.

NIS2 service providers

Companies providing IT, advisory, logistics services to essential and important entities — customers pass security requirements on to them in contracts (supply chain).

Mid-sized 50+ companies with critical infrastructure

Organizations 50–500 people in NIS2 sectors — in Poland obligations must be in place by 3 April 2027.

Capital groups with multiple NIS2 entities

Groups with several entities being NIS2 entities — shared approach saves costs and ensures consistency.

FAQ

FAQ about NIS2 implementation

Is my company covered by NIS2?

NIS2 covers 18 sectors listed in two annexes. It usually applies to at least medium-sized companies: 50+ employees, or annual turnover and balance sheet total both above EUR 10 million (EU SME definition, including partner and linked enterprises). Some entities are covered regardless of size. The full list of sectors is in the national law (in Poland: the National Cybersecurity System Act). We do free qualification of your company.

How long does NIS2 implementation take?

Typically 6–12 months for a mid-sized company. In Poland the deadline for the security management system and other obligations is 3 April 2027, and the deadline for registering in the list of entities passed on 3 October 2026. Pace depends on the baseline cybersecurity state, organization scale, client-side IT team availability and the scope of required technical safeguards.

What's the penalty for non-compliance?

Essential entities: fines up to EUR 10 million or 2% of worldwide annual turnover; important entities: up to EUR 7 million or 1.4% (whichever is higher in both cases). In Poland, up to PLN 100 million in case of a serious cyber threat. Management can be fined personally, up to 300% of salary. Supervision and inspections are carried out by sector competent authorities, and audits by authorised auditors (not CSIRTs).

Do I have to report incidents?

Yes. Significant incidents are reported to the competent CSIRT in three steps: early warning within 24h, incident notification within 72h and a final report within one month. We implement procedures and train the team.

What technology do I have to deploy?

NIS2 requires risk-based measures in 10 areas (article 21 of the directive), including risk analysis, incident handling, business continuity and backups, supply chain security, cryptography and multi-factor authentication where appropriate. Specific tools (e.g. SIEM, 3-2-1 backup, network segmentation) are chosen after the risk analysis. In a Microsoft environment Entra ID, Defender and Purview cover part of these areas, but compliance also requires procedures, risk analysis and documentation.

Are trainings in the package?

Yes. Sessions for leadership (NIS2 liability), employees (security awareness), IT (technical procedures). Plus phishing tests.

What after 30 days of support?

We can offer vCISO retainer (ongoing compliance support), annual audits, documentation updates. NIS2 requires annual reviews.

In-depth analysis

NIS2 implementation — what to know

NIS2 is the EU directive on information system security, transposed into local cybersecurity law. Covers 18 sectors: energy, transport, finance, health, digital infrastructure, ICT, telecom and others. It usually applies to companies with 50+ employees, or with turnover and balance sheet total both above EUR 10 million. Fines: up to EUR 10 million or 2% of turnover for essential entities and up to EUR 7 million or 1.4% for important entities.

A good NIS2 rollout is a project covering: readiness audit (gap analysis), cybersecurity policy, risk management plan, incident response procedures, safeguards implementation (IAM, MFA, monitoring, backup, segmentation), training, documentation. Without these elements you risk fines and personal liability. Implementation pace depends on baseline environment maturity and typically takes 6–12 months. In Poland the statutory deadline for implementing the obligations is 3 April 2027.

NIS2 implementation delivers biggest impact in companies in directive-covered sectors (essential and important) and providers of services to these companies (supply chain). Typical ROI: audit readiness, lower risk of fines, professional incident response, competitive advantage in B2B tenders.
