The report provides input to the European Commission's review of the NIS Directive on the 16th of December, four years after the Directive entered into force and two years after the transposition into national law.

Challenges remain after the implementation of the Directive - the lack of clarity of the NIS Directive expectations after transposition into national law was a common issue.

More than 35% of organizations surveyed believe the NIS Directive expectations are unclear.

The Executive Director of the EU Agency for Cybersecurity, Juhan Lepassaar, said: "This data indicates that the NIS Directive has been a great tool to drive investments, but recognises that certain gaps still exist, and a clearer strategic framework and more elaborated approach is needed. The review of the NIS Directive is timely and can therefore address these challenges - building a stronger network and information security framework."

Key findings The average budget for NIS Directive implementation projects is approximately €175k, with 42.7% of affected organizations allocating between €100k and €250k. Slightly less than 50% of surveyed organizations had to hire additional security matter experts.
