Because vendors cannot cause cyber incidents
To remove the need for vendor contracts
To shift responsibility away from the organization
Because a compromised supplier puts all their downstream customers at risk
Enforcement and penalties

Ignore minor security concerns
Assume IT will manage all risks
Follow policies and report suspected incidents promptly
Disable controls that slow productivity
NIS2 Is about resilience and accountability
NIS2 strengthens cybersecurity across critical sectors by setting clear expectations for governance, risk management, supply chain security, and incident reporting. Compliance is not only a regulatory requirement. It is a strategic commitment to protecting services, customers, and organizational stability.
