Guarantee of compliance

The NIS2 directive is no longer an IT issue. It’s a board-level responsibility.

A new EU directive is radically changing the approach to cybersecurity, covering key industry sectors. Time for compliance ends in October 2024, and responsibility for implementation rests directly with company management.

Fines for non-compliance with NIS2 are up to €10 million or 2% of global annual turnover.

A scenario that is becoming a reality

The director of operations at a manufacturing plant is instructed by management: “We are to be NIS2 compliant.” Looking at his complex production network, a mix of old and new machinery, and a lack of complete documentation, he is faced with the question: where to start?
He knows that his team is overloaded with current tasks. He fears that misinterpreting the directive’s complex provisions or overlooking one of the requirements – such as supply chain security – could expose the company to a multimillion-dollar fine and personal liability for the board.

Uncertainty and the risk of regulatory misinterpretation can be more expensive than the audit itself. Investing in a professional gap analysis is the fastest way to peace of mind and legal security.

Do you know exactly which of your production systems fall under NIS2 and whether your current procedures meet its stringent requirements?

Our solution: a clear path to NIS2 compliance in an OT environment

The NIS2 directive in an operational technology (OT) environment is a unique challenge. Our service is not theory, but a practical assessment of your readiness, based on standards such as IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82, translated into specific requirements of the directive. We demystify the regulations and give you a ready-made plan of action.

Our approach is based on 3 pillars:

Analysis of risk management and policies

We verify that your current policies, procedures and technical measures are adequate to meet NIS2 requirements and effectively address risks.

Supply chain security assessment

We analyze the risks associated with your suppliers and OT system integrators, which is one of the key and new requirements of the directive.

Verification of response procedures

We verify that you are able to detect an incident and report it to the CSIRT within a strict timeframe (tentatively in 24 hours).

Our readiness assessment process in 5 steps

We work methodically to provide you with a complete and comprehensible analysis that will become the basis for your further activities.

Step 1

Opening workshop and scope definition

Together with your team, we determine precisely which systems and processes in your organization fall under the requirements of the NIS2 directive.

Step 2

Analysis of documentation and evaluation of procedures

Our experts analyze existing documentation: security policies, risk management procedures, business continuity plans and contracts.

Step 3

Technical verification of key security features

We verify the existence and configuration of key defense mechanisms in your OT environment in a controlled and secure manner.

Step 4

Gap analysis report and roadmap

You get a detailed report (gap analysis) and a “roadmap” – a prioritized corrective action plan.

Step 5

Presentation of results and support in planning

We discuss the results with management and the technical team, explaining the risks and helping to plan the implementation of the recommendations.

What does your business gain? Legal security and real protection

Investing in an NIS2 readiness assessment is not a cost, but an insurance policy for your company and its management.

Legal security of the board

Provide peace of mind to the board with evidence of due diligence on cybersecurity, as required by the directive.

Avoid severe financial penalties

Gain confidence that you are complying with legal requirements and protect your budget from the potential penalties mentioned in the regulations.

A clear and prioritized action plan

Instead of uncertainty, you get a concrete, clear roadmap that shows you step-by-step what to do, how to do it and in what order.

Strengthening overall security

Use NIS2 requirements as the impetus to make your manufacturing infrastructure more resilient to cyber attacks in a real and lasting way.
