✅ NIS2 transposed and in force.
NIS2 transposition
- National law: Cybersäkerhetslag (SFS 2025:1506), promulgated Dec 2025
- Status / entry into force: In force 2026-01-15 (repeals the 2018 Information Security Act)
Competent authority & CSIRT
- Competent authority: Decentralised: sector-specific supervisory authorities (e.g. PTS for telecoms); MSB as coordinator
- CSIRT / incident response: CERT-SE (MSB)
- Registration: Per companion cybersecurity ordinance
Incident reporting
Follows the NIS2 cascade: early warning within 24h, notification within 72h, final report within one month, submitted to the national CSIRT / competent authority. Assume national-language submission unless the authority states otherwise.
Penalties & board liability
- Essential entities: up to €10M or 2% of worldwide turnover (directive minimum, adopted here).
- Important entities: up to €7M or 1.4% of worldwide turnover.
- Management-body accountability applies per NIS2 Art. 20; national enforcement mechanisms vary.
CER Directive
Critical-entities resilience is transposed in parallel (often via the same or a connected authority). Member States had to identify critical entities by 2026-07-17. ⚠️ VERIFY national CER instrument.
Notes
Decentralised, sector-led model.
