Navigating the Future of Cybersecurity: Understanding NIS2 and ISO 27001 Compliance

Join us for an insightful session on managing information security risks, a critical concern for all organizations, not just IT service providers.

With the rise in hacks, data breaches, and data theft, the European Union has introduced the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) to enhance cybersecurity and resilience across essential services in member states. The new Cybersecurity Act (NIS2) mandates stringent security standards for organizations handling sensitive data, aiming to protect against cyber threats and improve overall data security. Expected to be enforced in the Netherlands from the first half of 2025, NIS2 will impact companies and organizations within designated vital sectors.

But what exactly is NIS2, how can you comply with its requirements, and why is it important for your organization? This session will dive into these questions, focusing on NIS2, soon to be known as the Cybersecurity Act in the Netherlands. We will also explore new initiatives like CYRA.

A key component of this discussion will be ISO 27001, an international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). ISO 27001 helps organizations systematically manage sensitive information, ensuring its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Implementing ISO 27001 not only aids in compliance with NIS2 but also strengthens your overall cybersecurity framework.

We will also address the impact of NIS2 and AI on information security. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly popular within companies, it raises the question: is AI an opportunity or a threat? We will explore how AI affects your information security and continuity, and how NIS2 and ISO 27001 can support you in navigating these challenges.

Key topics to be covered include:

• Local and international cybersecurity perspectives
• Understanding NIS2 content and its implications for your organization
• Practical advice on NIS2 response and preparation
• The role and importance of ISO 27001 in managing information security risks
• The impact of AI on information security and continuity
• How to identify and mitigate information security risks
• Preparing for unexpected incidents

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and practical advice on enhancing your organization’s cybersecurity posture.

Note: session will be in Dutch.
