Compliance Simplified for B2B Organizationstions
The NIS2 Directive marks a significant evolution in Europe’s cybersecurity landscape. It introduces stricter requirements for digital resilience, supply chain security, and executive accountability across a wide range of industries. For compliance, IT, and risk leaders in B2B organizations, the directive demands more than technical fixes—it requires a strategic, organization-wide approach to security.
At munit.io, we help businesses meet these expectations with automated tools, actionable threat intelligence, and simplified compliance workflows. Whether you’re in finance, healthcare, energy, or technology, our platform equips you to navigate NIS2 with clarity, speed, and confidence.
What Is NIS2 and Who Does It Affect?
The Network and Information Security Directive 2 (NIS2) is the EU’s updated regulatory framework aimed at improving cybersecurity across member states. It replaces the original NIS Directive and significantly broadens its scope and enforcement mechanisms.
NIS2 applies to two categories of entities:
- Essential Entities: Critical infrastructure and services (e.g., banking, energy, healthcare, water, transport)
- Important Entities: Digital service providers, B2B SaaS companies, manufacturers, suppliers, and more
These organizations are now required to:
- Implement risk-based cybersecurity controls
- Monitor for threats and vulnerabilities
- Report major incidents within tight timelines (24–72 hours)
- Demonstrate executive oversight and governance
- Manage third-party and supply chain risks
Importantly, NIS2 also introduces personal liability for executives in the event of negligence—a strong signal that cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue.
Why NIS2 Matters for Security, Compliance, and Risk Leaders
Unlike previous frameworks, NIS2 integrates cybersecurity into core business processes. That means IT and compliance teams must work in tandem to:
- Assess and mitigate risks proactively
- Track exposure across infrastructure, users, and vendors
- Detect threats early, including those on the dark web
- Document policies and controls effectively
Failure to comply with NIS2 could lead to hefty fines, reputational damage, and even disqualification from public tenders. With enforcement mechanisms set to strengthen in 2025, the time to act is now.
NIS2 Requirements: A Closer Look
To comply with the NIS2 Directive, organizations must implement robust governance, technical, and operational measures. These include:
1. Risk Management and Governance
- Develop a cybersecurity risk framework
- Assign roles and responsibilities at the executive level
- Establish policies for business continuity and incident response
2. Technical Security Measures
- Access control and identity management
- Regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing
- Monitoring tools to detect cyber threats and anomalies
3. Dark Web and Threat Intelligence Monitoring
- Detect stolen credentials and targeted attacks
- Monitor leaked data across surface, deep, and dark web sources
4. Third-Party Risk Management
- Evaluate suppliers and service providers for compliance
- Define minimum security requirements in contracts
5. Incident Reporting and Response
- Report major incidents within 24 hours (initial notification)
- Submit full incident report within 72 hours
- Maintain audit-ready documentation
At munit.io, our platform was built from the ground up to meet these needs—turning complex compliance challenges into manageable, automated workflows.

Understand the Legal Basis: The NIS2 Directive
To fully comply with NIS2, it’s essential to understand the directive’s legal foundation. The NIS2 Directive (EU) 2022/2555 was adopted by the European Parliament to improve the resilience and cybersecurity of network and information systems across critical and important sectors in the EU. It builds on the original NIS Directive by expanding the scope, tightening reporting deadlines, and increasing executive accountability.
You can read the full legal text of the NIS2 Directive here on EUR-Lex to explore its provisions, definitions, and implementation requirements.
This legal reference can help your compliance, legal, or risk teams align internal policies with the directive’s precise language—especially for cross-border operations or multi-entity structures.
