Annex II
The list of 7 sectors under NIS2 considered important but generally lower-risk than Annex I.
Explained in depth: Which sectors NIS2 covers
Covers postal and courier services, waste management, chemicals, food production, manufacturing, digital providers, and research organisations. In-scope organisations here are classified as important entities: the same Article 21 obligations and reporting deadlines apply, but supervision is reactive and the fine ceiling is lower. The sectors page lists each subsector, and the manufacturing deep-dive covers the largest Annex II population in detail.
