Meeting EU cybersecurity standards through ISO certification

At MyQ, cybersecurity is a priority. Through our ISO 27001 certification, we have established a strong framework that also aligns with the standards set out by the EU’s NIS2 directive on cybersecurity. This alignment helps us keep our systems secure, so our clients can rely on a safe and trusted platform for managing their print needs. 

The NIS2 is a new directive, introduced by the EU, that sets guidelines to protect critical services and infrastructure against cyber threats. Throughout ISO 27001 certification MyQ is required to implement robust information security practices, conduct regular risk assessments, and establish effective incident reporting mechanisms, which goes along with the requirements introduced by NIS2. 

Because NIS2 is a new directive, it may not be widely known, so we will provide some information about the directive and explain how MyQ is adhering to it, as well as the benefits for our partners and clients. 

What is NIS2 Directive? 

The Network and Information Systems Directive (NIS2) is a regulatory framework developed by the European Union that requires organizations to adopt measures to protect their services and data, such as cybersecurity best practices, conduction of regular risk assessments, and establishment of effective incident reporting mechanisms.  

Both NIS2 directive and ISO certifications recognize companies that achieve excellence in security and operational standards. They are defined as: 

• NIS2 Directive is an EU regulatory requirement that applies specifically to essential and important service sectors, including sectors critical to societal and economic functions. It mandates a range of cybersecurity practices and is focused on protecting critical infrastructure across the EU from cyber threats, aiming for enhanced resilience and cooperation across member states. 
• ISO 27001 is an international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). It provides a framework for managing and protecting sensitive information systematically. ISO 27001 is designed to be universally applicable across industries and geographical regions, offering guidelines to help organizations identify and manage risks related to information security. 

What do these compliances mean for our partners and clients? 

For our partners and clients, having ISO 27001 certification and compliance with NIS2 provides additional layers of confidence when partnering with MyQ. By adhering to these standards, we ensure that our systems are well defended against cybersecurity risks, protecting both our services and our partners/clients’ data from potential threats. 

This alignment not only safeguards sensitive information but also strengthens our operational resilience, ensuring we are prepared for and responsive to any issues that may arise. 

Bringing together NIS2 compliance and ISO certifications, it positions MyQ as a well-rounded, reliable partner. We understand that when our partners and clients choose us, they are looking for more than just a solution—they are seeking a dependable partnership. At MyQ, we take these standards seriously, knowing that by meeting them, we are better equipped to meet the needs of those who rely on us every day.
