The NIS2 Directive emphasizes an integrated and continuous approach to cybersecurity management based on a circular process.
Three fundamental pillars guide this approach:
- Risk Management Policy: identify, assess, and address risks through an integrated process.
- Incident Management Policy: prevent and respond quickly to incidents to minimize impacts.
- Business Continuity Plan: ensure the continuity of essential services through tested and robust plans.
A virtuous cycle of continuous improvement:
- Risk Assessment: document and address risks (including multi-risk).
- Monitoring: establish appropriate alarm thresholds to identify anomalies.
- Incident Management: analyze events and implement quick, effective responses.
- Post-Incident Reviews: learn from events to improve processes and strategies (lessons learned).
This circular approach ensures a constant cycle of assessment, action, and improvement, essential for building strong organizational resilience and responding to cybersecurity challenges.
