Almost half of NIS2 organisations rank supply chain attacks as a top concern.”
NIS2
NIS2 covers energy, water, transport, digital infrastructure and more. Member States had to apply it from 18 October 2024, and registration and enforcement now run country by country, so your obligations depend on where you operate. Large operators in high-criticality sectors such as energy and water are essential entities, and medium-sized operators in those sectors are important entities. Essential entities face maximum fines of at least €10M or 2% of global turnover, and important entities €7M or 1.4%, whichever is higher in each case, for breaches of the security or incident reporting rules (Article 34).
Expanding scope
NIS2 reaches more sectors and more organisations than NIS1. Management bodies must approve and oversee your cybersecurity risk-management measures and can be held liable for infringements of those measures (Article 20). Supply chain security is one of those measures, so your direct suppliers and service providers belong in your risk programme as well as your own operations (Article 21(2)(d)).
The UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill
The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill is before the House of Lords and would amend the NIS Regulations 2018, with broader scope and tighter incident reporting for UK-regulated organisations. UK operators regulated under those Regulations already assess themselves against the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework, and the NCSC published CAF v4.0 in August 2025. NIS2 applies where you operate in the EU, so UK groups with EU operations can answer to both regimes. Our explainer on the Bill sets out what's changing.
What energy and utilities operators face
Energy and utilities operators run legacy infrastructure alongside new digital technology, and grid resilience depends on both. Operational technology in substations and generation can be hard to take offline for patching, and contractors and equipment vendors sit inside the supply chain that NIS2 holds you accountable for. A risk and compliance solution for energy works best when it holds that whole mix in one place.
The Energy sector cyber security strategy, published in May 2026 by DESNZ, the NCSC, NESO and Ofgem, sets out what the government will do to protect Great Britain's energy system and consumers. We've unpacked what the strategy means for operators and what energy sector breaches now cost.
