FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — Cybersecurity & Resilience

Does NIS2 apply to space operators?+

Yes. Space is classified as a high-criticality sector under NIS2 Annex I (Sector 11). Satellite operators, ground station operators, and SATCOM providers serving critical infrastructure are typically classified as essential or important entities.

What are the NIS2 incident reporting deadlines?+

NIS2 requires a 24-hour early warning, 72-hour notification with initial assessment, and a final report within one month of the incident. Space operators must have incident response procedures aligned with these timelines.

How does NIS2 overlap with EU Space Act cybersecurity?+

Articles 74-95 of the EU Space Act establish space-specific cybersecurity requirements that complement NIS2. Operators compliant with NIS2 can leverage their existing measures, potentially saving 3-6 weeks of implementation effort on overlapping requirements.
