Preparing for NIS2 and Beyond: The Next Phase of Cyber Resilience in EMEA 

What 2,000 European organizations reveal about readiness, resilience, and what comes next.

Europe is entering a new phase of cyber regulation. As the NIS2 Directive takes effect, organizations across all sectors face heightened expectations around operational resilience, governance, incident preparation, and accountability at the leadership level.

To help leaders cut through the complexity, the new IDC NIS2 and Beyond eBook presents an exclusive, data-driven view of Europe’s readiness — grounded in a large-scale survey of 2,000 organizations across 20+ European markets. This research not only uncovers where companies stand today compared to last year but also highlights how the most cyber-mature organizations are going beyond baseline compliance to build sustainable, already secure digital operations.

In this report, you will discover:

• How ready Europe really is for NIS2 — and where gaps remain across governance, identity, incident response, and supply-chain security.
• What leading organizations are doing differently, from unifying security and compliance architectures to operationalizing Zero Trust and AI governance.
• Sector-by-sector benchmarks revealing where risk exposure is highest, and where progress is accelerating fastest.
• Country-by-country snapshots offering clear comparisons of NIS2 readiness, strengths, and risk areas across European markets — giving leaders local context for action.
• Why forward-leaning companies are already moving beyond compliance to build long-term resilience that strengthens customer trust and competitive advantage.
• A practical, actionable roadmap to help executives prioritize investments and address NIS2 requirements with clarity and confidence.

Lead your organization with insight and foresight.
