EU NIS2 Deadline Passed — Irish Enforcement Imminent

Automate Your NIS2 Evidence and Eliminate Executive Liability

Ireland's NIS2 enforcement is approaching. Boards, CEOs, and CISOs are now personally accountable for cyber-risk, reporting, and operational resilience across their organisations.

NIS2Ireland.com gives you the fastest way to understand your exposure, automate your technical controls, and produce audit-ready evidence that meets European standards.

Need immediate guidance on NIS2 compliance?

Our compliance experts are ready to help Irish organisations navigate the requirements.

NIS2 Isn't a Checklist — It's Evidence of Control

Ireland's implementation will mirror the European directive: organisations must detect, respond, document, and prove that they have taken "appropriate and proportionate" security measures.

The directive mandates the following technical and organisational measures:

  • Continuous risk analysis and vulnerability detection
  • Full asset discovery and software inventory
  • End-to-end logging and anomaly detection
  • Rapid incident reporting (24h initial, 72h assessment, 1-month final)
  • Forensic-grade evidence of events and actions
  • Supplier access control and network segmentation
  • Monitoring for misconfigurations, weak points, and unpatched systems

Most Irish companies are not ready — not because they lack policies, but because they lack technical automation and verifiable evidence.
