NIS2 Compliance Consulting in Belgium
Navigate NIS2 with confidence. We help Belgian organizations understand their obligations, close compliance gaps, and build the security capabilities the directive demands.
The NIS2 directive significantly expands cybersecurity obligations for Belgian organizations across critical sectors including energy, transport, healthcare, and digital infrastructure. As both essential and important entities face strict security requirements and potential penalties, ICTLAB provides pragmatic compliance consulting that balances regulatory demands with operational reality. Our approach integrates NIS2 requirements with existing frameworks like ISO 27001 and GDPR, helping you build a cohesive security program rather than fragmented compliance efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does NIS2 apply to my organization?
NIS2 applies to medium and large organizations (50+ employees or €10M+ turnover) operating in critical sectors including energy, transport, healthcare, digital infrastructure, public administration, and many others. Essential entities face stricter requirements than important entities. We can assess your specific situation.
What is the timeline for NIS2 compliance?
NIS2 must be transposed into Belgian law by October 2024, with enforcement beginning thereafter. Initial compliance projects typically take 3-6 months depending on organization size and current security maturity. We recommend starting as soon as possible to avoid rushed implementation.
How much does NIS2 compliance cost?
Costs vary significantly based on organization size, sector, and current security posture. Initial gap analysis and roadmap development starts around €8,000-€15,000. Full implementation projects typically range from €25,000 to €100,000+ depending on scope and required technical controls.
What are the penalties for NIS2 non-compliance?
Essential entities can face fines up to €10 million or 2% of global annual turnover. Important entities face up to €7 million or 1.4% of turnover. Management can be held personally liable. Beyond fines, non-compliance can result in reputational damage and loss of business.
How does NIS2 relate to GDPR and ISO 27001?
NIS2 has significant overlap with GDPR (data protection) and ISO 27001 (information security management). Organizations with existing ISO 27001 certification or GDPR compliance programs have a head start. We integrate NIS2 requirements into existing frameworks to avoid duplicated effort.
