NIS2 Practical Compliance for SMEs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798250962193)

The EU's NIS2 Directive is here. Does your business comply?

If you own or manage a small or medium-sized business in the EU, the NIS2 Directive may already apply to you. Fines can reach up to EUR 10 million. Directors face personal liability. And the clock is ticking.

But here is the good news: compliance does not have to be complicated or expensive.

NIS2 Practical Compliance for SMEs is the first guide written specifically for business owners and managers who need to understand and implement the EU's cybersecurity directive - without a technical background.

What you will find inside:

• A plain-English explanation of every NIS2 requirement - no jargon, no legal language
• A simple decision tool to determine whether NIS2 applies to your business
• The 10 security measures of Article 21, translated into practical steps
• Ready-to-use templates: Information Security Policy, Risk Register, Incident Response Plan, Supplier Questionnaire, and more
• End-of-chapter checklists so you never miss a requirement
• A complete 90-Day Compliance Sprint - a week-by-week roadmap from zero to compliant
• Real-world scenarios based on typical SMEs: a logistics company, a bakery chain, a medical clinic, an IT support firm
• Budget guidance showing what NIS2 compliance actually costs for small businesses
• A directory of free and low-cost cybersecurity tools
• Coverage of the January 2026 amendments and the 2027-2028 regulatory horizon

Who this book is for:

This book is for owners, directors, and managers of EU-based SMEs who need a practical, proportionate path to NIS2 compliance. No cybersecurity expertise required. If you can run a business, you can follow this guide.
