Scope and national nuance
Greece's National Cybersecurity Authority (NCSA), within the Ministry of Digital Governance, is the national competent authority transposing NIS 2. The Greek transposition restructures the country's prior cybersecurity governance around the directive's two-tier essential/important model.

What is specific to Greece
- Greece is consolidating cybersecurity governance under the National Cybersecurity Authority within the Ministry of Digital Governance, replacing a previously more dispersed model.
- The NCSA hosts the National CSIRT and serves as the single national point of contact for the directive's cross-border cooperation procedures.
- Maritime infrastructure receives particular attention given Greece's shipping sector exposure — covered maritime operators should expect sector-specific implementing guidance.
- Bilingual (Greek and English) supervisory guidance is being prepared by the NCSA to support multinational operators with limited Greek-language capacity.
