Enhancing Cybersecurity for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) designated as Important Entities Falling Within the Scope of the NIS2 Directive

Descripción

Cascade funding (FSTP – Financial Support to Third Parties). The “NCC-CY - NIS2” Program aims to ensure a baseline level of cybersecurity for a number of important entities covered by the NIS2 Directive, with the goal of protecting their infrastructure, systems, and information through the procurement of relevant cybersecurity solutions and services. The NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/ 2555), which entered into force on October 18, 2024, constitutes the updated pan-European framework for cybersecurity, aimed at strengthening digital security in critical sectors of economic and social activity. It expands upon the original NIS Directive by imposing stricter security measures, mandatory incident reporting, and severe penalties for noncompliance across a broader range of “essential” and “important” entities. The Program aims to obtain a verification certificate from the Digital Security Authority (DSA) for Beneficiaries regarding their compliance with the cybersecurity measures of the Belgian CyberFundamentals (CYFUN) framework, at the Basic level, as of the 2025 edition (for more information, click HERE). These measures will be adopted by the Digital Security Authority (DSA) and will form part of the beneficiary entities’ compliance with the requirements under national legislation transposing the NIS2 Directive.Through this program, small and medium-sized enterprises are given the opportunity to obtain a verification certificate from DSA for the implementation of the relevant measures. Verification audits will be conducted by Cybersecurity Maturity Auditors from the relevant registry managed by the Cyprus Organization for Standardization (CYS). For more information, click HERE.
