Important entity · NIS2 Annex II (Digital providers)
Why NIS2 matters for Digital Providers & SaaS

Digital providers are important entities under NIS2 Annex II. On top of their own obligations, NIS2's supply-chain provisions mean your customers' compliance depends on yours, so demonstrable controls are now a commercial requirement, not just a regulatory one.

Your controls feed your customers' supply-chain obligations.

Am I in scope?

NIS2 for Digital Providers & SaaS, in three questions

In scope?

Yes — digital providers (online marketplaces, search engines, social platforms) are an “other critical” sector under NIS2 Annex II.

Important entity · NIS2 Annex II (Digital providers)

Why?

Providers of medium size and up are Important entities; a few digital services are in scope regardless of size.

NIS2 generally applies from medium-sized up — broadly 50+ staff, or annual turnover / balance-sheet total over €10M. (Medium is under 250 staff and up to €50M turnover or €43M balance sheet; larger than that is a “large” entity.) Some entities are in scope regardless of size, and the exact rules are set by your country’s transposition.
