Network and Information Systems (NIS) Regulation

The Network and Information Systems (NIS) Regulations 2018 are a key part of the UK’s cyber security and resilience strategy. They require operators of essential services and digital service providers to take appropriate and proportionate steps to secure their network and information systems against cyber threats and operational disruption.

Evolve North’s NIS support service helps organisations understand their obligations, assess their current readiness, and implement the technical and organisational measures required by the regulations. Whether you’re preparing for an inspection, responding to an incident, or building long-term resilience, our consultants provide expert, practical support tailored to your sector and risk profile.

Who Needs to Comply with the NIS Regulations?

  • Operators of Essential Services (OES): Organisations in sectors such as energy, transport, health, water, banking, and digital infrastructure.
  • Digital Service Providers (DSPs): Providers of cloud computing services, online marketplaces, and search engines.
  • Managed Service Providers (MSPs): Under proposed updates, MSPs may also fall within scope due to their role in digital supply chains

Why NIS Compliance Matters

  • Legal Obligation: Non-compliance can result in enforcement notices, public disclosure, and fines of up to £17 million or 4% of global turnover.
  • Operational Resilience: Helps protect critical systems and services from disruption, cyber attack, and data loss.
  • Regulatory Confidence: Demonstrates to regulators, partners, and customers that your organisation takes cyber security seriously.
  • Alignment with Best Practice: Supports alignment with frameworks such as the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework and ISO 27001.
