Global regulations like NIS2, CRA, CCPA, and CPRA are setting new security and compliance benchmarks. Is your business prepared to meet these evolving requirements?
NIS2 is a cybersecurity game-changer for Europe, effective October 2024. Non-compliance means fines, business risks, and legal consequences for CEOs, with no cyberinsurance coverage. Open-source 'AS IS' software like GPL often fails to meet NIS2 standards. Pimcore Enterprise Edition ensures compliance with support, security, and long-term updates. This isn’t just about Pimcore—NIS2 impacts any software handling sensitive data. Transitioning to compliance is fast. Let’s secure your business today.
Have you heard of NIS2? It’s the EU’s latest directive aimed at strengthening cybersecurity for essential and important services. Coming into effect in October 2024, it mandates strict requirements for risk management, secure software, and robust operations. But how does this impact software applications like Pimcore? It’s simple—if your business depends on software to manage critical or sensitive data, NIS2 compliance is not optional. It’s a 'must-have' for companies in Europe to avoid penalties, protect against cyber risks, and stay operationally secure. Are you ready for NIS2?
NIS2 is more than just a directive—it’s a game-changer for cybersecurity in Europe. It requires businesses to implement stronger protections, manage risks, and ensure compliance. Why? Because the stakes are high. If your company isn’t NIS2-compliant, you risk fines, operational disruptions, and even serious legal consequences. And here’s the kicker: cyberinsurance won’t cover incidents linked to non-compliance. For modern businesses, securing your operations under NIS2 isn’t just a good idea—it’s essential.
Open-source software is incredible for innovation, but NIS2 changes the game when it comes to compliance. Why? Many open-source solutions operate under 'AS IS' licenses – such as GPL, meaning no warranties, no liability, and no guaranteed maintenance. NIS2 requires accountability, regular updates, and long-term support—something most community-driven open-source software can’t guarantee. So, businesses relying on 'AS IS' open-source software may face compliance challenges. It’s time to rethink how your organization handles open-source in the age of NIS2.

For Pimcore users, the Enterprise Edition is the only way to guarantee full compliance, offering dedicated support, enhanced security, and 24/7 operations for critical data management.
