Data Strategy Briefing — October 17, 2024

Executive briefing: Directive (EU) 2022/2555 (NIS2) must be transposed by 17 October 2024, extending cybersecurity, supply-chain, and incident reporting requirements to more sectors, including managed service providers, data centres, and digital infrastructure.

Key data governance checkpoints

• Scope confirmation. Determine whether operations fall under the essential or important entity categories and map corresponding supervisory regimes.
• Incident reporting. Align detection, notification, and post-incident analysis workflows with the 24-hour early warning and 72-hour incident reporting rules.
• Supply-chain oversight. Inventory third parties with access to critical data and systems, ensuring contractual clauses cover NIS2 risk-management measures.

Operational priorities

• Risk management. Update enterprise risk assessments to address NIS2 controls on data integrity, encryption, and backup resilience.
• Governance alignment. Coordinate data, security, and compliance teams on cross-border supervisory coordination and penalties.
• Reporting automation. Implement tooling to capture incident telemetry, root-cause analysis, and remediation plans for regulator submissions.

Enablement moves

• Deliver board briefings on national transposition status, sectoral guidance, and enforcement expectations.
• Integrate NIS2 obligations with Data Act, DORA, and sector-specific reporting frameworks to streamline compliance.
