Meet NIS2 Requirements with ChainSec
Use supplier registry, control management, and risk management to meet NIS2's requirements for supplier security, systematic security work, and risk-based measures.
Supplier registry for NIS2 supply chain requirements
NIS2 requires control over the entire supply chain. Use the supplier registry to document all suppliers, link documents and certificates, and send security assessments. Full traceability for supervision.
Control management for systematic security work
NIS2 requires systematic security measures. Work with pre-built control libraries, link controls to risks, and track implementation. Gap analyses show exactly where you have deficiencies against NIS2 requirements.
Risk management according to NIS2's risk-based requirements
NIS2 requires risk-based security work. Document assets in the asset registry, assess ICT risks in the risk matrix, and link controls to risks. Show authorities how you prioritize based on risk.
The Cybersecurity Act represents significant changes for organizations in critical sectors. With penalties of up to 10 million euros or 2% of global turnover, it's crucial to start preparing now. Those who act proactively avoid both costly fines and security incidents.
What does the Cybersecurity Act (NIS2) entail?
The Cybersecurity Act is Sweden's implementation of the EU's NIS2 directive and takes effect on January 15, 2026. The law applies to both public and private actors in critical sectors and aims to raise cybersecurity throughout the EU through harmonized requirements.
To meet the requirements, organizations need to implement technical and organizational measures, with particular focus on the entire supply chain:
Stricter security requirements in the supply chain - including for your sub-suppliers.
Requirements for rapid incident reporting to authorities.
Greater focus on proactive measures against cyber threats.

Frågor och svar
- What is the Cybersecurity Act (NIS2)?
The Cybersecurity Act is Sweden's implementation of the EU's NIS2 directive. The law takes effect on January 15, 2026, and means that organizations in critical sectors must work more systematically with information and supplier security. Requirements include risk management, technical and organizational protective measures, incident reporting, and documentation.
- When does NIS2 take effect in Sweden?
The law takes effect on January 15, 2026. NIS2 was supposed to be implemented in 2024 but was delayed. The legislative proposal has now been submitted to Parliament and organizations are expected to start preparing now to avoid deficiencies during supervision.
- Which organizations are covered by NIS2?
NIS2 applies to medium-sized and large organizations in 18 critical sectors – including energy, transport, digital infrastructure, banking, healthcare, water, manufacturing, and food. Certain digital service providers and suppliers to critical organizations are also covered.
- What requirements does NIS2 place on organizations?
Core requirements are systematic security work, risk-based measures, protection of critical systems, continuity management, incident reporting within 24-72 hours, and documentation of both risks and measures. The law also requires that management must be involved and trained in cybersecurity.
- What does supplier responsibility mean in NIS2?
Organizations must ensure that their suppliers maintain a sufficient security level. This includes risk assessments, requirement setting in contracts, security assessments, and regular follow-up. The supply chain is just as important as internal security.
- What penalties can you get for lack of compliance?
Essential entities can receive up to 10 million euros or 2% of global turnover in penalty fees. Important entities can receive up to 7 million euros or 1.4%. In serious cases, management personnel may be prohibited from exercising management assignments.
- What is the difference between essential and important entities?
Essential entities operate in sectors where disruptions have major societal consequences – such as energy, transport, banking, and healthcare. They receive proactive supervision. Important entities also have critical functions but are primarily reviewed in case of complaints, incidents, or suspicion of deficiencies.
- How does ChainSec help organizations meet NIS2?
ChainSec provides you with the tools for NIS2 compliance: supplier registry for control over the chain, control management for systematic security work, risk management with asset registry and risk matrix, and self-assessments and due diligence for supplier review. All documentation is exported ready for supervision.
