Cybersecurity has always been a cornerstone of trust in financial markets. With the introduction of NIS2 (Network and Information Security Directive), the European Union has taken a decisive step toward strengthening cybersecurity across critical sectors, including financial services and cloud providers.
At Beeks, we’re pleased to announce that we are now fully NIS2 compliant. This achievement reflects our long-standing commitment to delivering secure, resilient, and reliable infrastructure for financial institutions worldwide.
What is NIS2?
The NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Security Directive) is an updated cybersecurity regulation introduced by the European Union. It replaces the original NIS Directive (2016) to address the growing threats posed by cyberattacks and ensure stronger cybersecurity standards across key industries.
Under NIS2, organisations such as financial services firms and infrastructure providers, are required to:
- Implement measures to prevent and mitigate cybersecurity risks.
- Ensure the continuity of critical operations during cyber incidents.
- Report incidents promptly to relevant authorities.
- Demonstrate compliance with stricter security requirements.
From October 2024, organisations operating in the EU are expected to demonstrate compliance with the directive. However, NIS2 is more than just a regulatory requirement—it’s a vital step toward reducing risk, ensuring operational resilience, and protecting customers.
A Continued Focus on Security
For Beeks, achieving NIS2 compliance wasn’t about ticking a regulatory box—it’s part of a wider, ongoing commitment to staying ahead of evolving threats. As a specialist cloud provider for financial markets, we’ve always prioritised the security of our infrastructure and the services we deliver.
NIS2 compliance is just the latest milestone in a long-term strategy designed to support our customers with robust, scalable, and compliant solutions. By taking a proactive approach, we ensure that our customers can meet their regulatory obligations while focusing on what matters most—their business operations.
Oscar Neill, Beeks Group CISO says: “Cybersecurity is never static. NIS2 compliance is another step in our ongoing efforts to deliver secure and compliant solutions to our customers. With SOC2 certification achieved last year and our expanding ISO accreditations, we’re continuously strengthening our infrastructure to support financial services firms and their compliance needs,”
For financial institutions, compliance with NIS2 isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s an opportunity to strengthen operational resilience, safeguard sensitive data, and build trust with customers.
