With the NIS\u20112 Directive<\/a> (Network and Information Security Directive 2, NIS-2), the EU is significantly tightening Cyber Security requirements. In addition to traditional operators of critical infrastructure, numerous other companies now fall within the scope of the Directive. Cybersecurity risk-management measures, reporting obligations, evidence requirements and the direct involvement of management bodies are becoming mandatory.<\/p>\n

1. Readiness Assessment (including Gap Analysis)<\/h3>\n

You receive a structured assessment of your implementation status against the requirements of NIS-2. We examine your organization, processes and technology, taking into account existing documentation and key stakeholders.<\/p>\n

The result is a reliable assessment of your maturity level and the identified areas for improvement. Based on this, we prioritize the next steps and translate the results into an implementation roadmap that is aligned with the state of the art and takes your strategic objectives into account.<\/p>\n
