NIS2 Recital 81

In order to avoid imposing a disproportionate financial and administrative burden on essential and important entities, the cybersecurity risk-management measures should be proportionate to the risks posed to the network and information system concerned, taking into account the state-of-the-art of such measures, and, where applicable, relevant European and international standards, as well as the cost for their implementation.

NIS2 is a Directive: the binding obligations live in each Member State's transposing national law, and this is the EU Directive text those laws implement.
