The NIS2 Directive came into force across the EU in October 2024, introducing stricter obligations for cybersecurity, governance, and risk management.

However, new Microsoft commissioned research from IDC reveals that just 14 percent of organizations in Western Europe are fully prepared. Most remain in the early stages of awareness or action.

This easy-to-use NIS2 readiness self-assessment workbook from IDC, introduces a four-part NIS2 Readiness Framework to help organizations assess their current posture, identify key areas for improvement and build a roadmap to become NIS2 ready.

This workbook will:

• Help you to understand the current state of your organization’s readiness in terms of NIS2 requirements

• Provide recommendations for next steps. These recommendations can be used as an input for your organization’s NIS2 roadmap

• Help you to move beyond NIS2 compliance by enabling the organization as a whole through cybersecurity and strengthening the business case for holistic security investments

Download the workbook and take the next step toward operational readiness.
