Public consultation on fees under the NIS2 legislation

The Federation of Employers and Industrialists (OEB) has announced a public consultation on the regulations concerning the imposition of fees related to the implementation of the NIS2 Directive on Network and Information Systems security.

The consultation is published on the e-Consultation online platform and is open for comments until Friday, February 27, 2026. The full text of the consultation and the relevant legislation are available through the provided links.

The framework under consultation specifies fees to be paid by organizations classified as core or significant entities, based on legislation and decisions by the competent authority.

Targeted organizations include businesses in sectors such as energy, transport, hospitals, digital services, telecommunications, cloud, data centers, and critical infrastructure.

In addition to cybersecurity compliance obligations, organizations will face new financial burdens through fees for supervision and implementation of the framework.

The OEB emphasizes the importance of member feedback, especially regarding:

• the determination of a minimum administrative fee,
• the decoupling of fees from administrative costs,
• uncertainty about the budget for 2026 and beyond,
• the need for further specialization and control to ensure predictability, proportionality, and fair cost distribution,
• and other factors affecting organizations.

Organizations and businesses are encouraged to send comments or suggestions to mkallis@oeb.org.cy by Wednesday, February 25, to support timely assessment and incorporation into the consultation process.
