NIS2 (Network and Information Security Directive)
NIS2 is the EU’s strengthened directive for raising the level of cybersecurity across member states. It imposes high requirements on risk management, reporting, and supply chain security for organizations engaged in essential or critical activities.
The role of ENISA
The EU Agency for Cybersecurity, ENISA, provides the technical guidance for how NIS2 should be implemented in practice. For companies handling digital agreements, NIS2 means they must maintain strict control over how data is shared and protected.
NIS2 and e-signing
According to ENISA guidelines, the use of trusted services (eIDAS) and secure, isolated environments is a central part of meeting risk reduction requirements. Formify supports NIS2 compliance by offering architectures that prevent Shadow AI and data leakage when counterparties review sensitive documents.
