Manufacturing / Production
Annex 1 — Essential entity
Manufacturing companies with more than 50 employees or €10M+ in turnover fall under the Dutch Cybersecurity Act. OT systems, SCADA and production line networks bring specific risks.

Food production / Food
Annex 2 — Important entity
The food sector is covered by the law as a critical sector. From production to distribution — the entire chain must be secured to protect the food supply.

Why your sector
The Dutch Cybersecurity Act specifically for manufacturing & food
The manufacturing and food sectors face unique cybersecurity risks. The law takes these into account — and so does Normatik.
⚙️ OT systems & production lines

Manufacturers use operational technology (OT) that is often connected to IT networks. A cyberattack on a PLC or SCADA system can bring production to a complete halt.

Relevant to: machinery manufacturers, metalworking, chemicals, automotive
🔗 Long supply chains

Both manufacturing and food businesses have complex supply chains with dozens of suppliers. The supply chain duty of care requires you to assess the cybersecurity of every link.

Relevant to: ingredient suppliers, packaging, logistics
🌡️ Critical IT dependencies

From cold chain monitoring to quality records — food businesses depend heavily on IT. Outages can lead to food safety issues and recalls.

Relevant to: food producers, distribution centres, retailers
📋 Existing standards

Many companies already work with HACCP, BRC, IFS or ISO 22000. Normatik builds on this existing structure so that NIS2 compliance does not become an entirely new undertaking.

Relevant to: businesses with existing quality systems
