Is your business ready for NIS2?

Cyber compliance event to be held at Dublin Chamber

Pro

14 April 2025

In association with Leaf IT

With the clock ticking on the EU’s NIS2 Directive implementation, Leaf IT is hosting an
essential Lunch & Learn event on 15 May 2025 at Dublin Chamber of Commerce,
designed to help businesses understand and prepare for the wide-reaching compliance
demands.

The event, titled NIS2: Cyber Compliance Unlocked, will break down the Directive’s key
requirements and provide practical guidance on how organisations can align their
cybersecurity strategy with EU expectations – before non-compliance becomes costly.

What is NIS2 and why does it matter?

The Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) is a significant update to the EU’s
cybersecurity law, designed to strengthen the security posture of critical infrastructure and
essential services across the bloc. It applies not just to organisations based in the EU, but
also to any entity that provides services to – or trades with – the EU in certain sectors.

For the first time, the Directive extends its reach to 15 sectors, including: Energy, Transport, Banking, Financial Services, Health, Public Administration, Drinking Water Supply & Distribution, Wastewater Management, Digital Infrastructure, ICT Service Management, Postal & Courier Services, Food Production, Processing & Distribution, Manufacturing, Space, Waste Management, and Research Organisations.

The updates place stringent new requirements on risk management, supply chain security,
incident reporting, and board-level accountability.

Failing to comply could lead to serious consequences, including fines of up to €10 million or
2% of global annual turnover, reputational damage, and service disruption. Yet, many
organisations still aren’t fully clear on how to start preparing.

NIS2: Cyber Compliance Unlocked

Hosted by Leaf IT in partnership with ConnectWise and Nihon Cyber Defence, this two-hour,
free to attend event is designed to cut through the complexity and give IT leaders a clear,
actionable roadmap for NIS2 readiness.

Whether you’re a CIO, CISO, IT manager, or responsible for compliance within your
organisation, this session will help you:

Understand exactly what NIS2 requires from your business
Assess your current cybersecurity posture against the new standards
Learn from real-world scenarios and industry insight
Discover tools and services that can support your journey to compliance
