NIS2 is coming and MSPs can’t afford to ignore it.

The updated EU NIS2 Directive isn’t just another compliance checkbox. It fundamentally changes expectations around risk management, incident reporting, and accountability — and MSPs are right in the line of impact.
Why this matters:

  1. Your clients may soon be legally required to meet stricter cybersecurity standards
  2. If you manage their infrastructure, your practices become part of their compliance posture
  3. Security maturity, documentation, and response readiness will no longer be “nice to have”


This is a shift from reactive IT support to proactive cyber governance.

Forward-thinking MSPs are already taking action by:

  1. Understanding their current maturity against NIS2 requirements
  2. Building realistic remediation roadmaps
  3. Strengthening incident response plans — and actually testing them
  4. Improving governance, risk and compliance processes
  5. Raising cyber awareness across technical teams and client environments


At VMGroup we’re supporting MSPs with:
• NIS2 gap assessments
• Practical remediation planning
• Incident response planning & tabletop exercises
• GRC frameworks and documentation support
• Cyber awareness training for teams and clients

NIS2 isn’t just a risk — it’s an opportunity to differentiate, build trust, and elevate your value.

The question is: will you be ready when your clients start asking?
