Question 1

What is the NIS2 Directive and who is affected?

Accepted Answer

The NIS2 Directive (transposed in Romania through GEO 155/2024 and Law 124/2025) imposes strict cybersecurity requirements for organizations in critical sectors: energy, transport, healthcare, public administration, digital services, manufacturing, food, and others. Organizations that are at least medium-sized (typically 50+ employees) in these sectors are generally required to comply; some exceptions apply regardless of size.

Question 2

How much does an outsourced NIS2 Officer cost?

Accepted Answer

The outsourced NIS2 Officer service starts from 290 EUR/month (Basic package with quarterly review). The Standard package with monthly monitoring costs from 550 EUR/month, and the Premium package with monitoring every two weeks from 800 EUR/month. An initial NIS2 diagnostic from 990 EUR is performed at onboarding. Minimum 12-month contract.

Question 3

What fines do I risk for NIS2 non-compliance?

Accepted Answer

Essential entities risk fines up to 10 million EUR or 2% of global annual turnover. Important entities risk fines up to 7 million EUR or 1.4% of turnover. Management can be held personally liable. The DNSC notification deadline expired in September 2025, while the remaining deadlines (risk assessment, maturity self-assessment, training) run from DNSC's decision for each entity.

Question 4

What does the outsourced NIS2 Officer service include?

Accepted Answer

The service includes: DNSC registration and notifications, risk register maintenance, periodic compliance reports, incident management support, legislative updates, and depending on the package, internal assessments, awareness sessions, and board meeting participation.

Question 5

Why outsource the NIS2 Officer function?

Accepted Answer

An internal cybersecurity specialist typically costs 3,000–5,000 EUR/month gross salary. Outsourcing starts from 290 EUR/month — a fraction of the cost. Additionally, outsourcing immediately fulfills the officer designation obligation without recruitment and training periods, and the outsourced officer gains diverse experience from working with multiple organizations.
