Cybersecurity services — Netherlands

Command of the Dutch regulatory framework — NCSC-NL, Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, NIS2 — for companies and essential infrastructure operators.

Last updated — August 22, 2026

The local regulatory framework

The Netherlands' cybersecurity framework is structured by the Nationaal Cyber Security Centrum (NCSC-NL), the reference authority for technical support, incident coordination and the publication of recommendations for public organizations and essential infrastructure operators. The Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP) oversees GDPR enforcement in the Netherlands. The NIS2 directive, currently being transposed, significantly broadens the scope of essential and important entities subject to risk management, governance and incident notification obligations.
