The NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/2555) entered into force on January 16, 2023, with member states required to transpose it by October 17, 2024. According to ENISA's 2024 Threat Landscape report, ransomware attacks increased 73% year-over-year, while supply chain attacks grew by 85%. The European Commission estimates NIS2 compliance costs average EUR 120,000 per organization, but non-compliance penalties can reach EUR 10 million or 2% of global annual turnover. Only 34% of affected organizations reported full NIS2 readiness by the October 2024 deadline (EY Global Cybersecurity Survey, 2024). Romania's DNSC reported a 156% increase in cybersecurity incidents in 2024, making compliance tools essential for the 8,000+ Romanian organizations affected by the directive.
