Cybersecurity is no longer a technical afterthought - it is a legal, strategic, and operational imperative.
With the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2), the European Union has set a new baseline for resilience across critical and important sectors. For thousands of organizations, from energy and transport to finance, healthcare, digital services, and beyond, NIS2 represents a fundamental shift in how cybersecurity must be governed, implemented, and enforced. Yet, for many leaders, compliance teams, and IT professionals, the legal text of NIS2 can feel dense, abstract, or overwhelming. What exactly does it require? Who falls in scope? How should organizations prepare for stricter incident reporting, risk management, supply chain oversight, and board-level accountability? And perhaps most importantly: how can NIS2 obligations be turned into an opportunity to strengthen trust, resilience, and competitiveness rather than a compliance burden? That is the purpose of this book. NIS2 Made Simple breaks down the directive into clear language, structured explanations, and practical steps. It explains what NIS2 means in practice - from governance responsibilities to technical measures, from supervisory authority powers to the cultural change required inside organizations. Each chapter is designed to be actionable, equipping you with the insights to raise awareness, drive alignment, and begin or accelerate your journey to compliance. Whether you are a CISO, compliance officer, IT manager, or executive leader, this guide will help you understand not only the letter of NIS2 but also its spirit: to make Europe more cyber-resilient, to protect critical services, and to safeguard the trust of citizens and businesses in a digital society.This book is part of the acclaimed Made Simple Series, which includes titles on GDPR, DORA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, project management frameworks, and more - each designed to transform complex regulations and standards into clear, accessible, and actionable knowledge. You can see current list in this book of other books in the same series.
