NIS2 Directive: Municipal Cybersecurity and Supply Chain Risk

Sending data to third countries directly violates the spirit of the directive. Bytsecure's On-Premise AI is the only solution 100% NIS2-compliant for municipalities.

What is NIS2?

The NIS2 Directive is the new European cybersecurity regulation. In effect since October 2024, it directly affects Local Government Organizations.

Why It Affects Municipalities

Municipalities manage critical infrastructure and sensitive citizen data. NIS2 now classifies them as "essential entities" with strict obligations:

  • Cybersecurity risk management
  • Incident reporting within 24 hours
  • Supply chain security
  • Penalties up to €10 million or 2% of annual turnover

Supply Chain Risk

Every service used by the municipality that sends data outside the EU is a risk. Free AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot) send data to third-country servers — this directly violates NIS2.

Bytsecure's Solution

Our On-Premise AI is installed on the municipality's servers. No data ever leaves. Full compliance with NIS2, GDPR, and EU AI Act.
