NIS2-loven ready, DORA-aligned — operated from our EU SOCs.

Danish enterprises sit at the centre of one of the most digitally mature regulatory environments in the EU. The Cyber- and Information Security Act (NIS2-loven) — Denmark's NIS2 transposition adopted in 2025 — significantly widens the regulated population beyond the previous NIS framework, with the Centre for Cyber Security (Center for Cybersikkerhed, CFCS) under the Danish Defence Intelligence Service supervising essential and important entities across 18 sectors. The Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet) is among the most active GDPR regulators in Northern Europe, the Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet) supervises DORA-scope financial entities, and Denmark's National Strategy for Cyber and Information Security 2022–2024 set the baseline maturity expectations. From our Stockholm and Zoetermeer SOCs we deliver 24×7 detection and CFCS-aligned incident reporting with telemetry kept inside the EEA — a key requirement for Danish public-sector buyers and CFCS notified entities.

FAQs · Denmark

Is my Danish company in scope of NIS2-loven?
If you operate in energy, transport, banking, financial market infrastructure, healthcare, drinking water, wastewater, digital infrastructure, ICT service management, public administration, space, postal and courier services, waste management, manufacture, production and distribution of chemicals, food production, manufacturing, digital providers, or research — and you exceed the medium-enterprise threshold (50 staff or €10M turnover) — you are likely an essential or important entity under NIS2-loven. We run a free in-scope assessment.
How fast must we notify CFCS of a significant incident?
An early warning within 24 hours of becoming aware, a full notification within 72 hours, and a final report within one month. Our SOC drafts and submits each notification automatically when triggers are met — including the CSIRT.dk technical hand-off.
Where does our data sit during SOC monitoring?
Telemetry and case data remain inside the EEA, processed across our Stockholm and Zoetermeer SOCs. No transfer to third countries without a documented Article 46 safeguard — a requirement we see flagged consistently by Datatilsynet on cross-border processing audits.
