["NIS2 Implementation Status"]
["Status of the legislative process","Enacted"]
["Status of the NIS2 Implementation Act","On 11 December, the Swedish government adopted a new \nCybersecurity Act (\nSw. cybersäkerhetslag) implementing NIS2, replacing the prior \nNIS Act, and decided on a new cybersecurity regulation (\nSw. cybersäkerhetsförordning). All legislative amendments came into force on 15 January 2026. Sweden's implementation of the \nNIS2 Directive through a new \nCybersecurity Act consolidates the core requirements of the directive, including the scope, risk-based security measures, incident reporting, supervision, and sanctions.\n"]
["Significant deviations of the National Implementation Act from the NIS2 Directive, if any"," \n Sweden’s Cybersecurity Act is substantively aligned with the NIS2 Directive, with really no material deviations. The Swedish choices in the Cybersecurity Act mainly introduce clarifications rather than departures. Examples include: \n \n Terminology refinement: The Swedish Cybersecurity Act  generally mirrors NIS2 Article 6 definitions but replaces “entity” with the established Swedish term operator ( Sw. verksamhetsutövare ), which is explained and justified by the fact that it is a more established concept in Sweden. \n Scope clarification (entire operator once in scope): In the NIS2 Directive, this assessment is left open to interpretation. In Sweden, once the criteria are met, the Swedish Cybersecurity Act applies to the operator’s organization as a whole to avoid perimeter gaps. The Swedish government reads the NIS2 Directive as supporting this interpretation. \n Administrative sanctions rather than criminal penalties: Leveraging NIS2’s flexibility, Sweden opts for administrative enforcement rather than criminal penalties, citing effectiveness against legal persons and alignment with enforcement aims.  \n \n \n "]
["Date of entry into force of the Implementation Act"," \n The Swedish Cybersecurity Act and related legislative amendments entered into force on 15 January 2026. \n The repealed Swedish NIS‑law framework continues to apply only for infringements that occurred before that date.  \n "]
