NIS2 Classification Assessment

Your NIS2 Classification Results
Understanding NIS2 Classifications
Essential Entities
- • Higher penalties: €10M or 2% of global turnover
- • Enhanced supervision and inspections
- • Stricter incident reporting requirements
- • Typically Annex I sectors (energy, transport, banking)
Important Entities
- • Lower penalties: €7M or 1.4% of global turnover
- • Standard supervision (ex-post)
- • Same incident reporting timeline (24 hours)
- • Typically Annex II sectors (manufacturing, waste, postal)
Both types must implement cybersecurity risk management measures, report incidents within 24 hours, and maintain business continuity plans. The main differences are penalty levels and supervision intensity.
