NIS2 & UK NIS
A single evidence-led platform for organisations now required to prove cybersecurity resilience across essential and important sectors.
See how Westport Cyber helps essential and important operators in government, energy, transport, food, manufacturing, managed services, and digital services meet NIS2 and UK NIS expectations.
The adoption of NIS2 across the EU and the Network and Information Systems (NIS) Regulations in the UK means that sectors deemed essential or important are now required to evidence their cybersecurity resilience measures and programmes - not just have them. For organisations operating across both jurisdictions, Westport Cyber provides a single platform that maps to both regulatory regimes, connecting your security activity to the evidence that regulators and oversight bodies expect.
Healthcare organisations hold some of the most sensitive data in existence and depend on systems that cannot fail. NIS2 and UK NIS classify healthcare as an essential sector, with NCSC guidance setting clear expectations around risk management, incident response and supply chain oversight.
Energy providers and utilities sit at the intersection of critical national infrastructure and complex, often legacy technology environments. NIS2 and UK NIS place energy in the essential entities category, with obligations covering ICT risk management, incident reporting and third-party oversight.
Transport operators - from rail and aviation to ports and road infrastructure - depend on interconnected systems where a cyber incident can have immediate physical consequences. NIS2 and UK NIS classify transport as an essential sector, with obligations extending to operational technology environments and third-party oversight alongside standard ICT risk management requirements.
Government and public sector organisations are high-value targets operating under increasing scrutiny from regulators, citizens and oversight bodies. NCSC's Cyber Assessment Framework sets the standard for many UK and Irish public sector entities, with NIS2 and UK NIS extending obligations across a broader range of government-adjacent organisations.
The food and agri sector's increasing dependence on connected infrastructure, logistics platforms and third-party suppliers has made it a growing target for cyber attackers - and a sector now firmly in scope under NIS2 for large EU operators, with equivalent expectations under UK NIS for significant operators.
Manufacturing environments are increasingly connected - integrating cloud platforms, supplier systems and operational technology in ways that expand the attack surface significantly. NIS2 brings medium and large manufacturers into scope as Important Entities across the EU, with UK NIS placing equivalent obligations on operators of essential services in the sector.
Managed service and digital service providers occupy a unique and increasingly scrutinised position in the supply chain - trusted with access to client environments, yet held to the same standards as the organisations they support. NIS2 designates managed and digital service providers as Important Entities across the EU, with NCSC guidance in the UK treating third-party providers as a material risk vector regardless of formal classification.
Across every sector, Westport Cyber provides the capabilities organisations need to meet their NIS2 and UK NIS obligations and build a security posture they can stand behind.
