NIS 2

The NIS2 Directive is the European Union’s updated cybersecurity regulation designed to strengthen cyber resilience across organizations operating in or serving the EU. It expands the scope of regulated entities, increases accountability for leadership, and sets clearer expectations around risk management, incident reporting, and operational resilience.

Swif helps security, IT, and compliance teams support NIS2 compliance by securing Mac and Windows devices, managing access, and maintaining continuous visibility into security posture.

Data Storage Location

NIS2 (Network and Information Security Directive 2) is the successor to the original NIS Directive. Its goal is to improve the overall level of cybersecurity across the EU by requiring organizations in critical and important sectors to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures.

Applies to a wider range of organizations

Requires ongoing, risk-based security management

Introduces clearer incident reporting obligations

Who does NIS2 apply to?

NIS2 applies to organizations classified as essential or important entities that operate in the EU or provide services within the EU market.

At a high level, this includes organizations in sectors such as:

Technology and digital services

Energy and utilities

Financial services

Why NIS2 matters now

EU member states are implementing NIS2 through national legislation, with enforcement increasing as local laws come into effect.

Under NIS2, regulators expect organizations to:

Identify and manage cybersecurity risks on an ongoing basis

Detect and report significant incidents within defined timelines

Demonstrate that security controls are implemented and maintained

Key focus areas of NIS2

While NIS2 is a legal framework, it emphasizes practical security outcomes rather than one-time compliance exercises. Core focus areas include:

Risk management and baseline security controls

Establishing appropriate technical and organizational measures based on risk

Identity and access management

Ensuring access to systems and data is properly controlled and authenticated

Incident readiness and reporting

Being able to detect, respond to, and report incidents within regulatory timelines

How Swif supports NIS2 compliance

Swif helps organizations operationalize NIS2 requirements by turning high-level obligations into day-to-day security practices.

Big shoutout to the team at Swif.ai!
We sent in a feature request for Northslope Technologies, expecting the usual "we’ll pass this along" response. Instead, the CEO personally followed up within two days to let us know it was being prioritized and rolled out.

MDM and compliance aren’t usually the corners of tech where you expect speed or responsiveness — so this was a standout moment. Great product, even better team! Thanks Angelo Huang!

We wholeheartedly believe in Swif.ai as a solution. So much so, we are an ongoing, paid customer. Swif.ai on the surface looks like a MDM solution, but helps to navigate complex HR and Legal compliance challenges related to device management. It just makes sense.
