When does the NIS2 24-hour clock start?

When the entity becomes aware of the significant incident, not when the incident began. Article 23(4) counts both the early warning (24 hours) and the incident notification (72 hours) from that moment.

General information, not legal advice. National laws can add to the EU texts quoted here, for example deadlines, forms or reporting channels: check your own country's rules.
