NIS2 Requirements In Cyprus: Navigating The Compliance Requirements And Its Integration Into National Law

The NIS2 Directive was entered into force as of 16 January 2023 and as a revised version of the initial NIS Directive (2016) aims to further harmonise and set specific cyber security standards and obligations across the EU. In an ever digitally connected environment, cyber security has become one of the most significant components for the smooth and secure operation of the global markets whilst at the same time balancing the need for individuals to be able to interact in a digital environment that safeguards their rights and freedom.

The provisions of the NIS2 Directive will be transposed in national law in Cyprus under the Security of Networks and Information Systems Law (89(1)(2020)) (thereinafter "the Law") and it is expected to be put into force by the 18.10.2024.
