The Danish FSA informs that they now have appointed a number of IT suppliers as operators of financial digital infrastructure to which NIS2 applies. The Danish FSA will publish which IT suppliers have been appointed when the appointments are final, i.e. when the companies’ appeal period has finally expired.

The purpose of NIS2 is to strengthen cybersecurity by setting requirements for financial companies’ IT security, their reporting of security incidents, and risk management.
