This corpus node provides a transport-sector application view of the NIS2 Directive (Directive (EU) 2022/2555 of 14 December 2022 on measures for a high common level of cybersecurity across the Union). NIS2 Annex I, Sector 5 lists transport as a critical sector covered as 'Essential Entities' with four sub-sectors: 5(a) Air transport (carriers + airport managing bodies + air traffic management providers), 5(b) Rail transport (infrastructure managers + railway undertakings), 5(c) Water transport (inland-waterway + sea + coastal passenger and freight + port managing bodies + vessel traffic services), 5(d) Road transport (road authorities responsible for traffic management + ITS operators). The substantive obligations come from NIS2 main: Article 21(2)(a)-(j) cybersecurity risk-management measures (10 baseline categories: risk-analysis policies + incident handling + business continuity + supply chain + secure acquisition/development/maintenance + effectiveness assessment + basic cyber hygiene + cryptography + HR security + asset management + multi-factor authentication / secured communications); Article 23 incident reporting (24-hour early warning, 72-hour notification, 1-month final report); Article 24 European cybersecurity certification scheme use; Articles 31-34 supervisory powers + administrative fines (Essential Entities: up to EUR 10 million or 2% of worldwide turnover, whichever is higher). This corpus node tracks the transport-specific application; the main NIS2 Directive is the substantive source. Corpus status: referenced (sector-application view of an existing enacted directive, not a separate enacted instrument).
