From directive to Dutch act
A directive does not apply directly to companies; the Netherlands has transposed NIS2 into the Cyberbeveiligingswet. The list in NIS2 Article 21(2) [1] appears almost word for word in Cbw Article 21(3) [2]. For a Dutch company the Cbw is therefore the source you apply; the NIS2 letters help when comparing with suppliers and customers in other EU countries.

For transport and chemicals the Cyberbeveiligingsregeling IenW elaborates items c, e, g and i further (backups, patches and vulnerabilities, network segmentation, privileged accounts) [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]; for postal and courier services and food, among others, regulations with the same wording apply [9].
Exception for cloud and IT service providers
For cloud providers, data centres and providers of managed (security) services, among others, Cbb Articles 6 to 18 do not apply [3]; for them Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 elaborates the measures.
