| Sweden | Fully Notified | MSB/MCF (lead/coordinator/SPOC/CSIRT); PTS (digital sectors); sector authorities | Sweden completed its NIS2 transposition via the Cybersäkerhetslagen (Cybersecurity Act, SFS 2025:1506), adopted by the Riksdag 10 Dec 2025 and in force 15 Jan 2026 — a new comprehensive statute replacing Information Security Act 2018:1174, with the Cybersäkerhetsförordningen issued concurrently. Sweden missed the 17 Oct 2024 deadline and received an EC reasoned opinion 7 May 2025 (resolved post-enactment).

Whole-entity approach — the entire IT footprint of in-scope entities must comply. Mandatory management training is sanctionable.

Many of these Member States have adopted primary laws but still need full secondary legislation and Commission notification before enforcement is considered complete.
Status Legend
- Fully Notified = national transposition adopted and no open Commission reasoned opinion about incomplete notification.
- Adopted = national transposition law adopted (or published) but Commission has requested further information / notification completeness (or notification still to be confirmed). If the law is already in force but notification is pending review, it is indicated.
- Draft = legislative process ongoing / no final national law published.
Key Implementation Notes
Deadline & Commission Action
All Member States were required to transpose NIS2 by 17 October 2024; most missed this deadline. On 7 May 2025, the European Commission issued reasoned opinions to 19 Member States for failing to notify full transposition. In July 2026 the Commission referred France, Ireland and Spain to the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) for failing to transpose NIS2, and may request financial penalties.
"Adopted" vs "Fully Notified"
Some Member States have enacted national laws but have not yet fully notified all implementing measures to the Commission. Other Member States are still in draft or legislative/parliamentary review.
Enforcement & Regulatory Readiness
Where national law is in force, entity registration, incident reporting, supervisory powers, and penalties (up to EUR 10 million or 2% of turnover for essential entities) are being phased in through secondary regulations.
Pending Enforcement
In Member States with Adopted or Draft status, registration and reporting obligations are not yet enforceable until national law is in force and authorities have published legal instruments and portals. This does not preclude diligent organizations from starting their NIS2 compliance journeys now.
Competent Authority Clarifications
Across the EU, Member States designate one or more competent authorities responsible for NIS2 implementation and enforcement.
Supervising Compliance
Overseeing adherence to NIS2 obligations across essential and important entities
Receiving Incident Reports
Processing and coordinating responses to cybersecurity incident notifications
Maintaining Entity Lists
Keeping registers of essential and important entities within their jurisdiction
Enforcing Requirements
Implementing risk management and governance requirements through regulatory action
Typical Authority Types
- National Cybersecurity Authorities/Agencies or dedicated cybersecurity regulators (e.g., CCB, ACN, NUKIB, ANSSI)
- Sectoral regulators for finance, telecoms, energy where responsibilities are delegated
- CSIRTs serve coordination and reporting functions under national law
