- • NIS2: fines up to EUR 10 million or 2% of annual turnover
- • DORA: mandatory for financial sector from 2025
- • GDPR: fines up to EUR 20 million or 4% of turnover
What is GRC?
GRC (Governance, Risk, Compliance) is an integrated framework combining organizational governance, risk management, and regulatory compliance into a single coherent system. For IT organizations, this means coordinating security policies, cyber risk assessment, and regulatory requirements (NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, GDPR) — because lack of coordination across these areas leads to protection gaps and regulatory penalties.
How much does GRC implementation cost?
Costs depend on regulatory scope, because each framework has different assessment depths and documentation requirements. ISO 27001 audit from €5,000, implementation from €12,000. NIS2 assessment from €7,000. DORA compliance program from €10,000. vCISO (strategic support) from €1,800/month. Prices current as of 2026.

FAQ — GRC
Answers to frequently asked questions about Governance, Risk & Compliance
What is GRC (Governance, Risk, Compliance)?
GRC is an integrated approach combining organizational governance, risk management, and regulatory compliance. In IT, it covers security policies, cyber risk assessment, and compliance with NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, and GDPR. Integrating these areas is essential, because managing them in silos leads to conflicting priorities and protection gaps. nFlo helps organizations implement an integrated GRC framework tailored to their industry and regulatory requirements.
Which regulations does my company need to comply with?
It depends on your industry and scale. Most companies must comply with GDPR (data protection). Organizations in essential and important sectors fall under the NIS2 directive. The financial sector additionally faces DORA requirements. Many organizations implement ISO 27001 as a security standard. nFlo conducts gap analysis to identify all applicable regulations.
How long does ISO 27001 implementation take?
ISO 27001 implementation typically takes 3 to 12 months, depending on organization size and current security maturity level. It involves: gap analysis, policy development, control implementation, staff training, internal audit, and certification audit. Each stage builds on the previous one, which is why skipping steps often leads to failed certifications. nFlo provides full support at every stage of implementation.
What is the difference between NIS2 and DORA?
NIS2 is an EU directive on cybersecurity for essential and important entities across many economic sectors. DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) is a regulation dedicated to the financial sector, focused on digital operational resilience. DORA is more specific in requirements for testing, ICT risk management, and incident reporting.
How does nFlo support regulatory compliance?
nFlo offers full GRC support: gap analysis against required regulations, security policy development and implementation, cyber risk management, certification audit preparation, continuous compliance monitoring, and vCISO services. We have experience with NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, GDPR, and industry-specific security standards.
What is a vCISO and when should you hire one?
A vCISO (virtual Chief Information Security Officer) is an external expert serving as head of information security. Consider a vCISO when: your company lacks the budget for a full-time CISO, needs strategic cybersecurity guidance, is implementing new regulations (NIS2, DORA), or wants to improve security maturity. nFlo offers vCISO services starting from €1,800 per month.
