NIS2 is applicable to large organisations in EU member states (more than 250 employees or €50million revenue) that provide essential and important services.

Essential Entities:

Banking, Healthcare, Digital Infrastructure, Public Admin, Drinking Water, Space, Financial Markets, Transport, Energy, Waste Water.

Important Entities:

Chemicals, Food Production, Processing & Distribution, Critical Product Manufacturing, Research, Digital Providers, Waste Management.

In addition to management liability for infringements to the directive, temporary bans against senior management and temporary suspension of services, organisations failing to comply with NIS2 face the risk of fines:

For Essential Entities: A fine of up to €10 Million or 2% of total annual turnover

For Important Entities: A fine of up to €7 Million or 1.4% of total annual turnover

NIS2 aims to strengthen the cybersecurity framework within the EU. It focuses on enhancing the security of network and information systems across various sectors deemed essential or important for the economy and society.

While a Kensington laptop lock is a small component of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, it plays a significant role in ensuring physical security, which is a crucial aspect of NIS2 compliance. By preventing physical theft and unauthorised access, such locks help protect sensitive data and contribute to overall risk management and incident response capabilities.

2FA and MFA support NIS2 compliance by significantly enhancing the security of access controls, protecting sensitive data, mitigating the risk of credential theft, supporting effective incident response, and facilitating audit and compliance reporting. By implementing these authentication methods, organisations can better protect their network and information systems, thereby aligning with the stringent security requirements set forth by NIS2.

Privacy screens support NIS2 compliance by preventing unauthorised viewing of sensitive information, enhancing physical security measures, and supporting data protection requirements. They contribute to creating a security-conscious environment, reducing the risk of human error, and ensuring that sensitive data remains confidential. By implementing privacy screens, organisations can better protect their network and information systems, aligning with the rigorous security standards set by NIS2.

WHAT: AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a robust and efficient symmetric encryption algorithm widely used to secure sensitive data through fixed-size blocks and key sizes of 128, 192, or 256 bits. It ensures high performance and strong protection against cryptographic attacks. Kensington products, such as Biometric fingerprint keys, Mice, Keyboards and other products utilise AES encryption to provide secure storage solutions, protecting sensitive data from unauthorised access and ensuring compliance with stringent security standards.

WHY: AES-encrypted products support NIS2 compliance by ensuring data confidentiality and integrity, enhancing risk management, and aligning with international security standards. They secure both data in transit and data at rest, protecting sensitive information from unauthorised access and tampering. By incorporating AES encryption into their security strategy, organisations can better safeguard their network and information systems, thereby meeting the stringent security requirements set by NIS2.
