The directive applies to certain entities in specific sectors, and it categorizes them as essential or important entities, both needing to meet the same requirements with differences in supervisory measures and penalties.
The cybersecurity requirements include measures related to risk analysis, information system security, incident handling, business continuity, supply chain security, network and information systems acquisition, basic cyber hygiene practices, cybersecurity training, cryptography use, human resources security, access control policies, and asset management.
Non-compliance with the directive can lead to significant fines, reaching up to €10 million or 2% of the worldwide annual turnover for essential entities, and up to €7 million or 1.4% for important entities.
