The supervisory authority:
MSB.
In Sweden, MSB (Myndigheten for samhallsskydd och beredskap) — the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency — is the primary authority for NIS2 implementation. MSB coordinates national cybersecurity policy, oversees compliance for critical sectors, and operates CERT-SE, Sweden's national CSIRT.
Sweden's transposition of NIS2 builds on its existing information security framework, extending obligations to a significantly broader set of organizations. Affected entities must implement systematic risk management, report incidents within 24 hours, secure their supply chains, and ensure management accountability. Sector-specific supervisory authorities may also apply alongside MSB oversight.
