What is NIS2?
The NIS2 Directive (Directive (EU) 2022/2555) is the European Union’s ambitious overhaul of its original Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive. NIS2 significantly expands the scope of cybersecurity obligations for both public and private entities across the EU.
The directive targets “essential” and “important” entities in sectors like energy, transport, banking, digital infrastructure, healthcare, cloud services, and data centers. It also introduces stricter cybersecurity risk management, incident reporting, and business continuity obligations—with real penalties for non-compliance.
In short, NIS2 is the EU’s call to action: secure your infrastructure, ensure high availability, and take responsibility for your digital supply chain.
DynConD’s Client-side GSLB: The Ideal NIS2 Compliance Enabler
DynConD’s Client-side Global Server Load Balancer (GSLB) is uniquely suited to help organizations meet NIS2’s requirements—especially for ensuring service availability, resilience, and real-time responsiveness to outages.
DynConD helps companies stay compliant and resilient under NIS2 in the following ways:
1)Ensures Maximum Uptime – Even During Outages
DynConD routes end-user traffic directly from the client-side to the optimal server location, without relying on centralized infrastructure that can go down or be attacked. This decentralized approach avoids single points of failure and enables instant failover, one of the core business continuity requirements of NIS2.
2)Real-Time Load Adaptation
Unlike traditional server-side GSLB solutions that react to problems too late, DynConD leverages real-time client context and predictive decision-making. This ensures not just uptime, but optimal performance across multi-cloud or hybrid environments.
3)Built-in Support for Data Sovereignty and GDPR
Because DynConD uses client-side decision logic, it can respect data localization and sovereignty rules, ensuring that sensitive data stays within EU jurisdictions. Combined with GDPR-aligned practices, it provides legal clarity on where data travels—an increasing concern under NIS2.
4) Lightweight, Secure, and Resilient
DynConD does not require always-on servers or a constant backend presence to route users. This low attack surface and stateless DNS-based mechanism make it ideal for organizations that want both security and simplicity in their infrastructure.
Why DynConD Matters Now More Than Ever
With the tightened regulatory landscape of NIS2, organizations must rethink how they build their IT infrastructure. High availability is no longer a bonus—it’s a requirement. And understanding where your data flows and how your services respond to disruptions is key to avoiding fines and reputational damage.
DynConD’s patented client-side GSLB isn’t just a technical upgrade—it’s a strategic asset. It helps organizations:
Looking Ahead
As NIS2 becomes the new norm in Europe, companies must move beyond outdated, server-dependent solutions. DynConD offers a modern, efficient, and fully compliant approach to navigating this digital future—making it the perfect partner for organizations that take cybersecurity and compliance seriously.ensuring that your cloud applications remain agile, responsive, and available even when the unthinkable happens.
