NIS2 Compliance
NIS2 is an EU cybersecurity directive designed to improve the resilience of essential and important organisations against cyber threats. It introduces requirements covering cybersecurity risk management, incident reporting, business continuity, supply-chain security and senior management accountability.
Organisations operating in specified sectors may need to comply with NIS2 based on their activities, size and the EU Member States in which they operate. Requirements are implemented through national legislation, meaning the precise obligations and regulatory arrangements can vary between countries.
Benefits of NIS2 Compliance
A structured approach to NIS2 compliance can strengthen your organisation’s cyber resilience while helping you meet applicable legal and regulatory obligations. It can help you:
- Understand whether your organisation falls within the scope of NIS2
- Identify and address weaknesses in cybersecurity governance and risk management
- Improve incident detection, response and regulatory reporting arrangements
- Strengthen business continuity, disaster recovery and crisis management
- Manage cyber risks arising from suppliers and the wider supply chain
- Demonstrate a responsible and structured approach to customers, partners and regulators
How we can help
We support organisations in understanding and implementing NIS2 requirements through a practical, risk-based approach. Our support can be delivered as a standalone NIS2 project or combined with ISO 27001 implementation to create a structured information security management system.
Our support typically includes:
- NIS2 applicability and scope assessments, including entity classification and relevant Member State requirements
- NIS2 readiness and gap analysis against existing policies, processes and cybersecurity controls
- Combined ISO 27001 and NIS2 gap assessments, identifying shared and specific requirements
- Development and implementation of policies, procedures and governance arrangements
- Cybersecurity risk assessment and prioritised risk treatment planning
- Incident response and regulatory notification process development
- Supply-chain security, business continuity and vulnerability management support
- Management training, reporting and accountability arrangements
- Preparation of a prioritised implementation roadmap and supporting evidence
NIS2 Gap Analysis
A NIS2 gap analysis provides a clear assessment of your organisation’s current position against the applicable requirements. We review existing documentation, interview key stakeholders and sample available evidence to identify where arrangements are already in place and where further action is required.
The assessment covers areas such as cybersecurity governance, risk management, incident handling, business continuity, supplier security, vulnerability management, access control, encryption, authentication and staff awareness.
You will receive a RAG-rated gap analysis and prioritised action plan, giving your organisation a practical roadmap towards NIS2 compliance.
NIS2 and ISO 27001
ISO 27001 provides a strong foundation for addressing many NIS2 requirements. Its information security management system framework supports risk assessment, governance, control implementation, internal assurance and continual improvement.
For organisations starting without an established information security framework, we can conduct a combined ISO 27001 and NIS2 gap analysis. This avoids duplicating work and provides visibility of the actions needed to work towards both ISO 27001 certification and NIS2 compliance.
ISO 27001 certification does not automatically demonstrate full NIS2 compliance. Additional consideration must be given to requirements such as regulatory incident reporting, management accountability and the relevant national legislation.
