What is NIS2 and who does it affect in Malta?

NIS2 is the European Union cybersecurity directive (EU) 2022/2555, transposed in Malta by the Measures for a High Common Level of Cybersecurity across the European Union (Malta) Order (S.L. 460.41). It significantly widens the scope of obligations: energy, transport, healthcare, digital infrastructure, manufacturing, food industry and many other sectors must implement risk management measures and report incidents to the Critical Infrastructure Protection Department (CIP Department) (Critical Infrastructure Protection Department).

The deadlines are strict: a significant incident requires an early warning within 24 hours, a full notification within 72 hours and a final report within one month. Non-compliance can cost an essential entity up to 10 million euros or 2% of worldwide turnover, and an important entity up to 7 million euros or 1.4%.
