“We’re already compliant.”
I hear this a lot when I talk to companies about NIS2.

They’ve got some policies in place, maybe an old ISO certificate, and a few technical measures set up by IT.

But then I ask questions like:
“Who’s actually responsible for cybersecurity at the executive level?”
“Could you report a major cyber incident within 24 hours if it happened today?”

Often, that’s when the silence kicks in.

The real issue isn’t bad intent — it’s false confidence.
Most companies I speak to are not avoiding NIS2 on purpose.

They’re busy. Teams are stretched. Everyone thinks someone else is handling it.

They just assume that what they already have is “good enough.”

But that’s where the delay happens — and where the risk grows quietly in the background.

Cybersecurity today isn’t just about ticking off requirements.

It’s about making sure the business can keep running when things go wrong.

It’s about business continuity, risk ownership, and being prepared for what’s coming — not just what’s required.

It’s about knowing exactly who does what — before you’re under pressure to act.

NIS2 is not just a legal obligation — it’s a wake-up call for companies to raise their cybersecurity maturity.

It demands structure, speed, and leadership — not just another policy on a shelf.

At RISK IT SAFE, I help companies move beyond surface-level compliance and build real business defense.

Through our Enable the Enabler™ method, we empower the people responsible for continuity, trust, and resilience — typically the CFO, COO, CTO, CISO, CIO or Risk Officer — to actually lead the cybersecurity agenda, not just support it.

If you’re not 100% sure where your company really stands with NIS2, I offer a free 30-minute strategy session to take a closer look.
It’s not a pitch. It’s a conversation that could save you months of firefighting later.
