Strengthening Cybersecurity Resilience in the EU – and Beyond

 The EU’s updated Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) have introduced new requirements for organizations operating in or providing services to EU markets.  

While these laws are EU-focused, UK companies are also impacted – especially those in critical sectors or financial services. 

This white paper offers a clear overview of both regulations, how they apply to UK businesses, and what steps compliance and cybersecurity leaders should take now to prepare. You’ll learn: 

  • Who is covered by NIS2 and DORA – and how UK-based organizations may fall within scope 
  • The key cybersecurity governance, incident reporting, and third-party risk management requirements 
  • How NIS2 and DORA compare to the UK’s proposed Cybersecurity and Resilience Bill and FCA guidance 
  • Why aligning now with EU standards positions companies for future resilience and regulatory readiness
