NIS2 is now in effect. Is your organization really ready? The European NIS2 directive officially came into force in October 2024—and in 2025, the spotlight is on implementation and compliance. For many organizations, the clock isn’t ticking anymore... it’s already run out. From hospitals and municipalities to IT vendors and legal service providers: NIS2 applies to more sectors, more people, and more responsibilities than ever before. Cyberattacks haven’t slowed down. If anything, they’ve evolved. And now the law expects your organization to evolve with them.
NIS2 is the updated EU cybersecurity directive, replacing the original NIS framework from 2016. Its purpose: to strengthen cyber resilience across Europe and hold every player in the supply chain accountable—from operators to vendors and everything in between.
NIS2 now applies to a much broader range of sectors and entities, meaning more organizations fall under mandatory cybersecurity oversight. Executives are no longer observers—they’re personally responsible for the organization’s digital hygiene. Your suppliers and partners? They’re now part of your security scope. And with fines of up to €10 million or 2% of annual turnover, the consequences are no longer theoretical.
Let’s face it: policies are necessary, but they don’t change behavior.
People do. Cyber Crime Game transforms NIS2 awareness requirements into an engaging, high-impact experience. No endless slides. No passive checklists. Just a game that shows employees how it really feels to be targeted—and how to respond. What your team will learn:
That’s a great start! ISO 27001 focuses on management systems and policies—NIS2 builds on that, but adds mandatory awareness for all staff.
Cyber Crime Game complements ISO 27001 perfectly by bringing behavior and awareness to life in a way traditional frameworks can’t.
