NIS2 makes supplier security your responsibility. Coverbase helps you manage it.
The NIS2 Directive raises the cybersecurity bar for essential and important entities across eighteen sectors, and it names supply-chain security as a required risk-management measure. Because it's a directive, the exact rules live in each country's law, but the vendor obligation is constant. Coverbase helps you meet it.

Who NIS2 applies to
NIS2 (Directive (EU) 2022/2555) applies, through national law, to “essential” and “important” entities across eighteen sectors, including energy, transport, banking, health, digital infrastructure, public administration, and the manufacturing of critical products. It generally captures medium and large organizations. Member States were to transpose it by October 17, 2024, so specifics vary by country.
What NIS2 asks of you
- 01
Supply-chain security measures
Address the security risks of your direct suppliers and service providers, including their own development and security practices. - 02
Risk-based cybersecurity controls
Adopt proportionate technical and organizational measures across your operations, with management accountable for them. - 03
Incident notification on a clock
For significant incidents, send an early warning within 24 hours, a fuller notification within 72 hours, and a final report within a month. - 04
Management accountability
Leadership can be held responsible for cybersecurity risk management, including the supplier side.

NIS2 supplier questions
Scope comes first. The supplier review follows your actual exposure.
Is NIS2 the same as DORA?
No. NIS2 is implemented through Member State laws. DORA is the EU financial-sector ICT regulation, and it takes precedence over NIS2 for the financial entities it covers.
Does every small supplier fall under NIS2?
No. Coverage depends on the entity and the relevant national law. A covered entity still assesses the security of relevant direct supplier relationships.
Do you send NIS2 incident notices?
We collect supplier context for your response team. You determine whether an incident meets your national reporting duty and send any required notice.
