Compliance

Data downtime is no longer just an IT issue — it has become a direct threat to the balance sheet. Recent industry reports show that unplanned outages cost organisations hundreds of thousands of euros per hour on average, with critical sectors regularly facing figures above one million euros per hour of disruption. With NIS2 now fully enforceable and cyber insurance renewals demanding hard evidence of recoverability, leadership teams must be able to put a realistic euro amount on the cost of an outage.

As NIS2 transposition continues across EU member states, organizations face increasing pressure to verify their compliance by late 2025. This directive expands on the original NIS framework, emphasizing robust cybersecurity measures for essential and important entities. With audits zeroing in on recovery capabilities, it’s crucial to address NIS2 backup compliance now, especially amid escalating cyber threats like ransomware that can cripple operations.
