# Decide whether NIS2 covers you

By Erik Bergstedt, Agent Wranglers. Updated 2026-10-20.

- Level: Required
- Chapter: [Product and sector laws](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/compliance/product-and-sector-laws)
- Rule: Decide whether the NIS2 Directive covers you from your sector and size, record the decision, and register with the national authority when it does.
- How: NIS2, Directive (EU) 2022/2555, covers medium and large firms in the sectors of its Annexes I and II. Digital ones include cloud computing, data centres, content delivery networks and managed IT or security services for businesses. Online marketplaces, search engines and social networks count too. DNS providers, top-level domain registries and trust services are covered at any size. Compute the size test with the [facts rule](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/compliance/scope-and-ownership/scope-from-facts). Each EU country writes NIS2 into its own law, so read the national act of every country where you are established. Cloud, DNS and similar digital providers are supervised where their main establishment is.
- Check: The obligations register has a NIS2 entry computed from the facts file. When it applies, the entry holds the authority's registration reference and date.
