NIS2: what companies should prepare now

Why NIS2 changes the picture

The directive asks organisations to better control risks, suppliers, incidents and continuity. For SMEs and Belgian organisations, the challenge is to move from reactive security to structured governance.

First actions to launch

• Identify critical services and digital dependencies.
• Clarify responsibilities between management, IT, business teams and suppliers.
• Document existing measures: backups, access, monitoring and incident management.
• Prioritise gaps that really expose the business.

Turn compliance into steering

A useful approach is to create a short roadmap: current-state review, quick wins, 90-day plan and recurring governance. Compliance then becomes a resilience lever rather than an administrative file.
