NIS2 in Romania
What binds you in Romania is the national law transposing NIS2 — not the directive itself. Here is who supervises you, where you register, and where you report.

National transposition
Ordonanța de urgență nr. 155/2024
Published in Monitorul Oficial I no. 1332 of 31 December 2024 and in force on publication, though some provisions applied 30 days later. Approved with amendments by Law no. 124/2025, in force 10 July 2025.
CyberFundamentals Framework — CyFun® 2025
version 2, published by Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB). Built on NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0.
Romania is a joint owner of the CyberFundamentals scheme alongside Belgium and Ireland.
A label is not compliance
Holding a CyberFundamentals label does not by itself prove NIS2 compliance. Ireland's NCSC puts it plainly: the framework "does not prove that an entity is compliant with their NIS2 obligations but can provide a structured assessment framework to demonstrate cybersecurity maturity." Compliance is owed under the national transposition law; CyFun is the instrument most commonly used to demonstrate it, not a substitute for it.

Who supervises you
DNSC is the competent authority designated by Romania. It holds the article 32 and 33 supervisory powers: inspections and audits, requests for information and evidence, binding instructions, orders to remedy deficiencies, and administrative fines. For essential entities those powers are exercised ex ante — without needing any indication of non-compliance.
Incident notifications under article 23 normally go to DNSC, though some member states route them through the competent authority instead. Confirm the channel before you need it: the 24-hour clock is not the moment to discover which portal applies.
What differs from the directive
Because NIS2 is a directive, Romania legislated its own version of it. The security baseline in article 21 is common across the Union and will not differ. What does differ:
- Registration. The portal, the information required and the deadline are national.
- Scope. Several member states extended coverage below the directive's size thresholds, or added sectors of national importance.
- Penalty calibration. The article 34 ceilings are common; how the authority calibrates within them is not.
- Reporting format. Deadlines are fixed by the directive; the form and the language are national.
If you operate in several member states
You have one security programme and several compliance relationships. Registration, supervision and reporting are per-jurisdiction, and a cross-border incident can require filings in each affected member state. Article 26 sets jurisdiction rules — generally the member state of establishment, with specific rules for digital providers.
