NIS2: you have 24 hours to report an incident. Who does it in your company?

You have 24 hours. That is how long the law gives you to notify DNSC after discovering a significant incident.

The full timeline required by NIS2 (GEO 155/2024) is:

  • 24 hours — initial warning
  • 72 hours — detailed notification, with an impact assessment
  • 30 days — final report

The uncomfortable question: if tomorrow morning you find your files encrypted, who in your company knows what happened, how serious it is and how to report it — all within 24 hours? For most small companies, the honest answer is "nobody".

That is exactly why the outsourced NIS officer exists: someone who takes over the reporting procedure while you deal with the real emergency — getting the company back on its feet.
