What does the Law say – and what does it mean for You?

The upcoming Swedish Cybersecurity Act is based on the EU’s NIS2 Directive and aims to strengthen the protection of essential infrastructure against digital threats. The new law will apply to significantly more organizations than before and imposes stricter requirements on both security practices and governance.

To comply with the requirements, you need to:

  • Work in a structured and risk-based manner with information security
  • Report incidents quickly, clearly, and within established timeframes
  • Ensure that compliance is anchored at the management level

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

What Is the NIS2 Directive and the Cybersecurity Act (CSL)?

NIS2 is an EU directive aimed at strengthening cybersecurity across the Union and protecting essential infrastructure from digital threats. In Sweden, NIS2 will form the basis for the new Cybersecurity Act (CSL), which introduces clearer and more extensive requirements for how organizations manage their security work—particularly in areas such as risk management, incident reporting, and accountability.

Who Is Covered by NIS and CSL?

Both public and private entities that operate essential or important services will be covered. This includes organizations in sectors such as energy, transport, healthcare, finance, digital infrastructure, food supply, and waste management—along with several other critical areas.

Who Is Responsible for NIS2 Compliance?

The ultimate responsibility for NIS2 compliance lies with the organization’s executive management. This means that leadership is both legally and strategically accountable for ensuring that the organization meets the requirements—from establishing security measures to reporting incidents. As a result, cybersecurity becomes a management issue, not just an IT concern.

When Does NIS2 Take Effect in Sweden?

In Sweden, the new Cybersecurity Act is expected to come into force no earlier than 2025. During the transition period, the current NIS law remains in effect but should be interpreted in light of the NIS2 Directive. This means that companies should start preparing for the new requirements, even though they are not yet fully implemented.

What Happens If We Don’t Meet the Requirements?

Failure to comply may result in administrative fines, legal consequences, and damage to both your brand and operations. But it’s not just about avoiding penalties—it’s about building a robust security framework that reduces vulnerabilities and strengthens trust.
