Why You Need a Cybersecurity Lawyer 

Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue—it’s a legal one too. With the introduction of the EU NIS2 Directive, DORA Regulation, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), companies are under increasing legal pressure to ensure cyber resilience, incident preparedness, and timely breach The legal landscape around cybersecurity and data protection in the EU has evolved rapidly, placing significant obligations on companies operating in Estonia and beyond. Three core legal instruments dominate this space: the NIS2 Directive, the DORA Regulation, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). 

The NIS2 Directive, applicable to a wide range of essential and important entities, introduces a new level of cybersecurity accountability. One of its key features is the strict 24-hour incident notification requirement to the competent authority, which in Estonia is CERT-EE (part of RIA). Organizations must notify significant incidents quickly, meaning they need to conduct an initial impact assessment almost immediately after becoming aware of an issue. But NIS2 goes far beyond reporting. It mandates a host of security and governance measures, such as risk management policies, system risk analysis, staff training, multi-factor authentication, and technical controls aimed at reducing the likelihood and impact of cyber threats. NIS2 also emphasizes the importance of business continuity planning and crisis response procedures, ensuring companies remain resilient during and after incidents. Estonia-based organizations may align with frameworks like E-ITS or ISO 27001 to demonstrate compliance. 

In the financial sector, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) sets an even tighter timeline: affected entities must report ICT-related incidents within just four hours of detection. DORA is designed to reinforce the operational resilience of financial entities, including banks, fintech firms, and insurance providers, by imposing strict ICT risk management and cyber-incident response protocols. 

Meanwhile, the GDPR remains the backbone of personal data protection in the EU. It requires organizations to notify personal data breaches to the Data Protection Inspectorate within 72 hours. GDPR also imposes obligations to assess the risks to affected individuals, document the breach, and in some cases notify the data subjects directly. 

Together, NIS2, DORA, and GDPR form a robust and interlocking set of legal requirements that demand early response, technical preparedness, and immediate access to legal advice when an incident occurs. Our 24/7 legal hotline is designed to support companies in exactly these critical moments.
