NIS2 compliance for SMEs

The NIS2 directive mandates documented cybersecurity governance before 17 October 2026. Generate the expected policies — ISSP, continuity, incidents, suppliers — in minutes, in English and French.

What is the NIS2 directive?

NIS2 (Directive (EU) 2022/2555) extends cybersecurity obligations to more than 15,000 entities in France: medium-sized companies, subcontractors and digital service providers in strategic sectors. It requires documented governance — an information security policy (ISSP), risk management, business continuity and disaster recovery, incident notification and supply-chain security. Penalties reach €10M or 2% of global turnover, with personal liability for executives. PolicyForge produces this documentary layer for NIS2 as well as ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR and DORA.

Frequently asked questions

Is my company in scope for NIS2?

Generally, companies with more than 50 employees or €10M turnover in a strategic sector are in scope. But a smaller SME can be indirectly affected: essential and important entities must secure their supply chain, so a subcontractor providing a critical digital service will be assessed against NIS2 criteria.

What is the compliance deadline?

The French transposition sets the deadline at 17 October 2026. Beyond it, covered entities face penalties of up to €10M or 2% of global turnover.

Which documents does NIS2 require?

Article 21 expects documented measures: an information security policy (ISSP), risk analysis and management, incident handling and notification, business continuity (BCP) and disaster recovery (DRP), supply-chain security, access control, vulnerability management and awareness training.

Are NIS2 and ISO 27001 compatible?

Yes. An ISO 27001 programme covers most NIS2 measures. PolicyForge templates stay aligned with both frameworks so you do not document twice.

Are the documents bilingual?

Yes, every policy is available in English and French.
