NIS & NIS2 in Norway

Norway is a part of the European Economic Area (EEA) and follows the EU's recommendation to implement NIS and NIS2.

LOCAL REGULATIONS

NIS2 & the EEA

Norway is not part of the EU but the European Economic Area (EEA) to access the EU market. Norway usually adopts all EU regulations and directives for access to the EU markets. The EU marks the NIS2 Directive as EEA-relevant.

"Digitalsikkerhets-loven" Aligned with the First Version of NIS

The implementation of the first Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive in Norway involved several steps to enhance the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure and essential services. Norway, though not an EU member, chose to implement the NIS Directive to align with European cybersecurity standards and ensure robust protection for its digital infrastructure. The local law in Norway is called "Lov om digital sikkerhet" or "Digitalsikkerhetsloven".
