"But NIS2 doesn't affect me after Brexit"... think again!

The regulatory cybersecurity requirements impacting MSPs is set to tighten over the next few years considering major breaches have been amplified by lack of controls within service providers. Across the board, MSPs need to raise their game when it comes to regulatory compliance to deliver on their duty of care. Those ignoring the issues face a future excluded from potentially lucrative deals due to a lack of cyber certifications.

This shifting regulatory landscape starts with existing frameworks like PCI-DSS where recent revisions extend controls to more areas that include managed services. While in the UK, MSPs are reporting that the Government backed Cyber Essentials+ certification has become almost mandated within public sector RFPs and tenders.

But an often-overlooked aspect is that under the new European Parliament curated NIS2 legislation that goes into force later this year, regulated organisations outside the EU such as MSP in the UK with clients inside the EU, may need to be registered with an authority in the most relevant EU member state.

Our next IT Europa Webinar sponsored by Lansweeper looks at this emerging challenge with a lively discussion around the current compliance landscape along and likely future trends. The session also includes practical advice on how to both meet internal compliance goals while potentially extending compliance services to clients across a diverse range of sectors. Areas of discussion include:

• How is Cyber Essentials+ changing the MSP discussion around compliance?
• How will NIS2 impact MSPs that operate in the UK and the wider EU?
• What tools, technologies and workflows can help meet compliance goals?
