NIS2 Directive in Romania: What it is, who is targeted, and how we can help you be compliant

What is the NIS2 Directive?

NIS2 is the new European legislative framework designed to ensure a common high level of cybersecurity across all Member States. Compared to the previous version (NIS1), the new directive significantly expands the list of targeted sectors and introduces much harsher fines for non-compliance.

In Romania, the competent authority responsible for application, control, and sanctioning is the National Cyber Security Directorate (DNSC).

Who needs to comply?

The directive divides the targeted organizations into two main categories: essential entities and important entities. Covered sectors have been expanded and now include:

• Highly critical sectors: Energy, Transport, Health, Banking and financial financial markets, Drinking water and wastewater, Digital infrastructure.
• Other critical sectors: Postal and courier services, Waste management, Manufacture, production and distribution of chemicals, Food sector, Manufacture of electronic equipment, Digital service providers.

What are the main obligations of companies?

1. Registration with DNSC: Entities must register on the official NIS2@RO portal.
2. Risk management: Implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures to manage security risks.
3. Supply chain security: Companies must ensure that their IT service providers meet the standards.
4. Incident reporting: Any major cyber incident must be reported to the DNSC (notification within 24 hours).

What are the risks of non-compliance?

Fines for non-compliance with NIS2 can reach up to EUR 10 million or 2% of turnover for essential entities, and EUR 7 million or 1.4% of turnover for important entities.
