The NIS Directive, or Network and Information Systems Directive on Security, is a European Union wide directive which specifies that Critical National Infrastructures (CNI) and Digital Marketplaces should be at a good level of cyber security in terms of policy and procedure. This is because the European Union recognises that the organisations which run these infrastructures are becoming increasingly more digital and increasingly more internet connected, which exposes more vulnerabilities than society has ever seen before.
