The transposition of the NIS2 Directive into the Portuguese legal framework represents a new milestone in strengthening cybersecurity, by introducing more demanding rules for a broad range of sectors and entities.
The new legal framework reinforces organizations’ obligations in terms of digital security and risk management, imposing more stringent technical and organizational measures, as well as greater accountability for management and executive bodies.
In an article for Jornal de Negócios, Martim Bouza Serrano, Partner in the TMT practice at CCA Law Firm, highlights that this is a decisive moment of adaptation for Portuguese companies, stressing the importance of a swift and structured response: “Unfortunately, in Portugal, companies tend to react late to new rules and requirements as happened with the implementation of the GDPR.”
Even so, the lawyer believes that NIS2 should be seen not only as a legal requirement, but also as an opportunity for growth and differentiation: “The future of the transposition of NIS2 may bring additional challenges for companies, but also opportunities to strengthen their position in the market.”
From Martim Bouza Serrano’s perspective, the new directive may act as a factor of competitiveness and digital maturity, allowing better-prepared organizations to stand out in an increasingly regulated and technological environment.
