Comparing NIS2 Competent Authorities - Supervisory models and Enforcement Powers Across EU Member States, 10 December 2026, Online

The workshop will explore how national cybersecurity authorities across the European Union approach the supervision and enforcement of NIS2 requirements, focusing on differences in supervisory models, inspection procedures, compliance assessments, administrative penalties and management accountability.

The NIS2 Directive (EU) 2022/2555 aims to establish a high common level of cybersecurity across the European Union. While it defines common cybersecurity risk-management and reporting requirements, national competent authorities play a central role in overseeing compliance and enforcing these obligations.

However, supervisory structures, inspection procedures and enforcement practices can differ across EU Member States, creating additional challenges for organisations operating in multiple jurisdictions.

Some national frameworks place greater emphasis on proactive supervision, while others rely more heavily on reactive oversight and enforcement following incidents or evidence of non-compliance. Understanding these differences is important for organisations preparing for regulatory inspections, managing cybersecurity risks and ensuring compliance with national requirements.

This workshop will provide a comparative examination of the supervisory models and enforcement powers of selected national cybersecurity authorities, moving beyond the requirements of NIS2 to explore how supervision and enforcement operate at the national level.

Background

This workshop is part of the DETANGLE Online Workshop Series “Untangling EU Cybersecurity Regulations”, a series of three online events exploring the complexities of EU cybersecurity legislation, from NIS2 implementation across Member States to the intersections between different regulatory frameworks and national enforcement practices. The series addresses legal, cybersecurity, compliance and policy perspectives, examining how EU legislation translates into national requirements and organisational responsibilities.

Led by Valerio Lubello, Research Fellow at Bocconi University and practising lawyer specialising in administrative and technology law, the workshops will provide comparative insights into regulatory implementation, highlight key compliance challenges and encourage knowledge exchange through interactive Q&A sessions.

The DETANGLE project funded under Grant Agreement No. 101249446 is supported by the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre.
