The ACN is the primary regulator and operates a centralized digital portal for registration and reporting. Italy extended scope beyond the Directive's minimum via national Annexes III & IV (central government bodies, local public transport, cultural-interest entities) and includes a safeguard clause for ICT-independent group subsidiaries. Compliance is phased: registration deadlines passed in early 2025, mandatory incident reporting to ACN/CSIRT Italia has been in effect since 1 January 2026, and full compliance with security measures is required by 1 October 2026.

The Cbw was submitted to the Tweede Kamer on 4 June 2025 and, as of April 2026, has not yet been enacted; entry into force is expected in Q2 2026 (imminent). The Netherlands missed the 17 October 2024 transposition deadline and received an EC reasoned opinion on 7 May 2025. The Cbw establishes a multi-regulator supervisory model with sector-specific competent authorities (e.g., RDI for digital infrastructure, ILT for transport); the NCSC serves as national CSIRT and coordinator. Incident reporting creates a dual obligation (NCSC + sector authority); management cybersecurity training is mandatory.

| Sweden | Fully Notified | MSB/MCF (lead/coordinator/SPOC/CSIRT); PTS (digital sectors); sector authorities | Sweden completed its NIS2 transposition via the Cybersäkerhetslagen (Cybersecurity Act, SFS 2025:1506), adopted by the Riksdag 10 Dec 2025 and in force 15 Jan 2026 — a new comprehensive statute replacing Information Security Act 2018:1174, with the Cybersäkerhetsförordningen issued concurrently. Sweden missed the 17 Oct 2024 deadline and received an EC reasoned opinion 7 May 2025 (resolved post-enactment). MSB (Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap) was renamed MCF (Myndigheten för civilt försvar — Swedish Civil Defence and Resilience Agency) as of 1 Jan 2026; MSB/MCF serves as national coordinator, EU single point of contact, and national CSIRT. Sweden operates a decentralised supervisory model — sector-specific authorities supervise their respective sectors, with PTS (Post- och telestyrelsen — Swedish Post and Telecom Agency) co-regulating digital infrastructure, digital providers, ICT service management (B2B), space, and postal and courier services. Whole-entity approach — the entire IT footprint of in-scope entities must comply. Mandatory management training is sanctionable. Trust service providers must submit both early warning and incident notification within 24 hours (deviation from 72h). Time-limited prohibition on holding management functions possible for essential-entity board members. Registration deadline 16 Feb 2026 (passed); MSB/MCF notification portal launched 2 Feb 2026; all obligations apply immediately from 15 Jan 2026 with no general grace period. |
Many of these Member States have adopted primary laws but still need full secondary legislation and Commission notification before enforcement is considered complete.
Status Legend
- Fully Notified = national transposition adopted and no open Commission reasoned opinion about incomplete notification.
- Adopted = national transposition law adopted (or published) but Commission has requested further information / notification completeness (or notification still to be confirmed). If the law is already in force but notification is pending review, it is indicated.
- Draft = legislative process ongoing / no final national law published.
Key Implementation Notes
Deadline & Commission Action
All Member States were required to transpose NIS2 by 17 October 2024; most missed this deadline. On 7 May 2025, the European Commission issued reasoned opinions to 19 Member States for failing to notify full transposition.
"Adopted" vs "Fully Notified"
Some Member States have enacted national laws but have not yet fully notified all implementing measures to the Commission. Other Member States are still in draft or legislative/parliamentary review.
Enforcement & Regulatory Readiness
Where national law is in force, entity registration, incident reporting, supervisory powers, and penalties (up to EUR 10 million or 2% of turnover for essential entities) are being phased in through secondary regulations.
Pending Enforcement
In Member States with Adopted or Draft status, registration and reporting obligations are not yet enforceable until national law is in force and authorities have published legal instruments and portals. This does not preclude diligent SMEs from starting their NIS2 compliance journeys now.
Competent Authority Clarifications
Across the EU, Member States designate one or more competent authorities responsible for NIS2 implementation and enforcement.
Supervising Compliance
Overseeing adherence to NIS2 obligations across essential and important entities
Receiving Incident Reports
Processing and coordinating responses to cybersecurity incident notifications
Maintaining Entity Lists
Keeping registers of essential and important entities within their jurisdiction
Enforcing Requirements
Implementing risk management and governance requirements through regulatory action
Typical Authority Types
- National Cybersecurity Authorities/Agencies or dedicated cybersecurity regulators (e.g., CCB, ACN, NUKIB, ANSSI)
- Sectoral regulators for finance, telecoms, energy where responsibilities are delegated
- CSIRTs serve coordination and reporting functions under national law
