NIS2 for Transport
Industry-specific guidance on NIS2 compliance for transport organisations. Understand the requirements, risk level, and key obligations that apply to your sector.
Compliance Risk Level
This industry faces extensive regulatory obligations and heightened supervisory scrutiny.
About NIS2
The updated EU cybersecurity directive that expands security requirements to a broader range of sectors and imposes stricter obligations on essential and important entities.
NIS2 Impact on Transport
Transport is designated as an essential sector under NIS2, covering air, rail, water, and road transport operators alongside logistics and supply chain companies. The sector faces unique challenges in managing passenger data (PNR records, ticketing, loyalty programmes), fleet telematics, and connected vehicle data. Autonomous vehicle systems and AI-driven traffic management fall under the AI Act's high-risk categories. The increasing digitalisation of transport infrastructure — from air traffic management to railway signalling — creates significant cyber resilience requirements. Cross-border transport operators must navigate varied national NIS2 implementations while maintaining consistent cybersecurity and data protection standards.
