NIS2 COMPLIANCE AUDIT

NIS2 audit: see if you meet the new duties of an essential or important entity

A compliance audit against the NIS2 directive and its national implementation. We assess risk management measures, reporting duties and management accountability, pointing out gaps before the requirements take effect.

WHY IT MATTERS

NIS2 covers far more companies than before and puts the duty directly on management

NIS2 extends cybersecurity obligations to a broad set of sectors and places personal accountability on management. Many companies do not realize the new requirements apply to them at all.

The audit starts by establishing whether, and as what kind of entity, you fall under NIS2, then assesses whether you meet the required risk management measures and reporting duties. We show gaps before they become the subject of an inspection.

WHAT WE CHECK

The full scope of NIS2 duties

01
Entity classification
We establish whether you fall under NIS2 and as an essential or important entity.
02
Risk management measures
We assess the adequacy of technical and organizational measures.
03
Incident handling
We check readiness to report incidents within the required deadlines.
04
Supply chain
We verify the security of supplier and third-party relationships.

We tailor the scope to the sector and the national NIS2 implementation relevant to your organization.

OUR APPROACH

We translate the regulation into concrete, achievable actions

NIS2 speaks of appropriate measures but gives no ready-made list. Our role is to translate the general requirements into concrete controls that genuinely reduce risk and at the same time meet the letter of the regulation.

The work is done by people who test controls in practice every day. That is why the recommendations are not a wish list but actions that will really make an attack harder and stand up to an inspection.

NIS2 SCOPE

From entity classification to technical measures

The audit covers the duties the NIS2 directive places on essential and important entities.

Risk management
Technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk.
Incident reporting
Processes for reporting major incidents within the required deadlines.
Management accountability
Management oversight of cybersecurity risk management.
Supply chain
Security of suppliers and third-party relationships.

STANDARDS & CERTIFICATIONS

We work to recognized methodologies, not gut feeling

Every project is run by certified pentesters and based on public standards. That makes the result repeatable, auditable and comparable across vendors.

HOW WE DO IT

An audit run in stages

01
Classification
We establish whether and as what entity you fall under NIS2.
02
Review
We analyze risk management measures and documentation.
03
Verification
We check whether the measures work in practice.
04
Gap assessment
We identify shortfalls against the directive’s requirements.
05
Report
We deliver an action plan ahead of the compliance deadline.

EVIDENCE

Numbers behind every promise

Every test is run by certified pentesters, and we document the result with reproduction steps, evidence and a verified remediation path. Proof, not a promise.

After fixes are deployed we confirm in writing that the gaps are closed. We do not vanish once the PDF is sent.

KNOWLEDGE

A NIS2 compliance audit in practice

What NIS2 is and who it covers

NIS2 is the EU directive raising the level of cybersecurity in essential and important sectors of the economy. It covers a much wider set of entities than its predecessor, including many service providers that were not previously regulated.

It requires risk management measures, incident reporting and attention to supply chain security. The first step is often to establish whether, and as what kind of entity, you fall under the directive at all.

What we check in a NIS2 audit

We verify risk management measures, the incident handling and reporting process, supply chain security and business continuity. We assess whether they are genuinely implemented, not merely described in a policy.

We pay particular attention to areas where NIS2 goes further than current practice, such as supplier oversight or reporting within set deadlines. That is where gaps most often arise.

Penalties and management accountability

NIS2 explicitly ties security to the accountability of senior management, and non-compliance carries severe sanctions. That moves the topic from the IT department to the level of board decisions.

So we prepare the report to be useful also for non-technical people responsible for compliance. The board needs to understand where the risk sits and which decision reduces it.

What you get and when to start

You get a gap analysis against NIS2 requirements and an action plan ordered by risk and implementation effort. We indicate what to do first to quickly reduce the greatest risk.

It is best not to wait with the audit, because some requirements, such as supplier oversight, take time and cooperation with other entities. The earlier you start, the more calmly you reach compliance.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I know if NIS2 applies to me?

It depends on the sector and size of the organization. We start the audit by establishing whether you fall under NIS2 and as an essential or important entity.

Does management bear personal accountability?

NIS2 places a duty on management to oversee risk management. The audit shows whether that oversight is actually exercised.

How is this different from an ISO 27001 audit?

ISO 27001 is a voluntary standard. NIS2 is a legal obligation for designated sectors. A well-implemented ISMS makes meeting NIS2 significantly easier.

What do I get at the end?

An entity classification, a map of gaps against NIS2 and an action plan arranged around your compliance deadline.
