NIS2 compliance in Enschede at a glance
Whether NIS2 applies to a technology company is a legal question that depends on its sector and size, and the country page sets out how the Cyberbeveiligingswet scopes entities. Counsel or the competent authority should answer it. What Enschede's firms can do in the meantime is practical. Smart IT providers serve customers that must manage supplier risk, and manufacturers of medical devices and electronic components are among the sectors the directive names. Both benefit from a gap analysis, risk-management measures, supply-chain security, incident detection and reporting procedures, continuity arrangements and clear management accountability. Sterling's Enschede office guides that work and records the evidence in Effivity. NIS2 compliance is a legal position, not a certificate.

NIS2 in Enschede: questions clients ask
Do Enschede technology firms need to act on NIS2?
They should check whether they fall within scope or serve customers that do. Scope depends on sector and size and is a legal question, so ask your counsel or the competent authority. Even outside scope, buyers may request evidence of risk management and incident handling.
Is ISO 27001 the same as NIS2 compliance?
No. ISO 27001 can structure your risk management, but NIS2 sets its own legal duties and supervision, and a certificate does not decide compliance. Treat the standard as a useful framework and confirm with your counsel or the authority what the law requires.
