The NIS2 Directive<\/a> focuses on prevention, not just compliance. Whether your company is an essential or important entity, there is a set of basic technical and organizational measures (best practices) that every organization should have already implemented.<\/p>

These measures<\/strong> are not just best practices – they are the minimum condition<\/strong> to reduce the risk of incidents and to demonstrate, in case of an audit, that you have taken the reasonable steps required by law.<\/p>

Here are 10 essential cybersecurity hygiene measures your organization should already have in place:<\/p>

1. Clearly define who has access<\/strong> to critical information and systems – and who doesn’t.<\/p>

2. Limit employee access<\/strong> strictly to the resources needed for their role.<\/p>

3. Remove administrator privileges<\/strong> for daily activities. Privileged access should be temporary and controlled.<\/p>

4. Protect remote access<\/strong> using secure methods – multi-factor authentication (MFA) is already a standard.<\/p>

5. Install and maintain firewalls<\/strong> in all relevant areas of the network.<\/p>

6. Network segmentation and segregation<\/strong> help limit the impact of a potential attack.<\/p>

7. Regularly apply patches and security updates<\/strong> – automate this process if possible.<\/p>

8. Monitor activity logs and alerts<\/strong> – don’t just collect them for the sake of it.<\/p>

9. Install and keep updated anti-malware solutions<\/strong>, not just basic antivirus.<\/p>

10. Perform frequent backups<\/strong> and store them separately from the main system.<\/p>

These 10 measures are just the first step. However, their lack may signal to authorities that your organization does not have even a basic cybersecurity culture.<\/p>
