The NCSC guidance is aimed at helping board members understand their cybersecurity responsibilities under NIS2.
The NIS2 Directive, is the European Union’s updated framework for enhancing the cybersecurity and resilience of essential and important entities-including those in sectors such as energy, transport, healthcare, digital infrastructure, and public administration. It elevates cybersecurity to the boardroom, imposing strong legal duties on organisational leadership to govern cyber risk effectively.
Under NIS2, Management Board Members are now explicitly accountable for ensuring that appropriate cybersecurity risk management practices are in place to ensure operational resilience and service continuity.
This Guidance Will help Directors to:
- Understand NIS2 and your responsibilities as a member of the Management Board
- Recognise the business implications of cyber risk
- Ask the right questions to drive informed oversight and decision-making
- Establish an effective cyber resilience strategy to ensure your organisation’s preparedness
- Determine next steps to deliver resilient and secure services in the face of an evolving threat landscape
