What are the penalties for non-compliance with NIS2?
The NIS2 Directive establishes specific sanctions for companies that fail to meet compliance requirements. These sanctions include:
- Non-monetary remedies: National supervisory authorities can impose compliance orders, binding instructions, orders to implement security audits, and orders for companies to notify customers of threats.
- Administrative fines: For essential companies, Member States must provide for a maximum fine of at least €10,000,000 or 2% of the total annual global turnover, whichever is higher. For important companies, the maximum fine is at least €7,000,000 or 1.4% of the total annual global turnover.
- Criminal penalties for management: NIS2 introduces measures to hold corporate management members personally accountable in case of serious negligence following a security incident. This can include the order to make compliance breaches public and, in the case of essential entities, a temporary ban on holding managerial positions in case of repeated violations.
These measures are designed to hold corporate management accountable and prevent serious negligence in managing cyber risks.
