NIS Directive compliance
The EU Directive on security of network and information systems (NIS Directive) requires operators of essential services and digital service providers to implement appropriate security measures to protect, and ensure the continuity of, services that are essential to the national infrastructure.
The Directive entered into force in August 2016. EU member states – including the UK – have until May 2018 to translate it into national laws, and a further six months to identify the "operators of essential services and digital service providers" it applies to.

Products and services
The NIS Directive states that "Member States shall [...] encourage the use of European or internationally accepted standards and specifications relevant to the security of network and information systems."
The only relevant international standards are ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, which we’ve been helping organisations implement for over a decade.
