Abstract

Cybersecurity standards and regulations are pivotal in guiding organizations toward mitigating cyber risks and enhancing their overall security posture. The European Union’s NIS2 Directive, which introduces stringent and comprehensive security requirements, exemplifies a Current regulatory framework designed to address evolving cyber threats. This study critically examines the regulatory, governance, cybersecurity, and compliance challenges introduced by NIS2 within the Swedish automotive industry. It further explores the strategic integration of NIS2 with existing regulatory frameworks to streamline compliance approaches and foster long-term resilience. The findings reveal the increasing complexity and financial implications of compliance, while also identifying significant opportunities to bolster cybersecurity resilience. This paper underscores the necessity for organizations to adopt proactive and adaptive strategies in response to the dynamic European regulatory landscape. While the focus is on the Swedish automotive sector, the study provides valuable insights that may inform future research into the broader implications of NIS2 across diverse industries and regions within the European Union.
