The problems this solves

Understand whether NIS2 applies to you and build the governance, risk management and reporting the directive demands — without duplicating existing work.

Are we even in scope?

NIS2 expanded to 18 sectors. Many organizations are unsure whether they qualify as essential or important entities.

Personal liability

Management can be held personally accountable, raising NIS2 from a technical task to a board-level concern.

24-hour reporting

The directive demands fast, structured incident reporting that most teams are not set up to deliver.

Supply-chain exposure

Obligations extend into your suppliers, and proving supply-chain security is a common stumbling block.

How We Solve It

One connected ecosystem, end to end

I bring clarity first — scoping your obligations — then build proportionate measures, leveraging your existing ISO 27001 work wherever possible.

Understanding the NIS2 Directive

NIS2 (Directive EU 2022/2555) is the European Union's strengthened cybersecurity framework. It dramatically expands the scope of the original NIS Directive, covering far more sectors and imposing stricter obligations on essential and important entities.

Across the EU, NIS2 brings tens of thousands of additional organizations into scope. Many businesses are unsure whether they qualify — and the compliance obligations are significant, with regulators empowered to enforce them. A structured, risk-based program is the reliable way to meet them.

The directive demands board-level accountability. Management can be held personally responsible for cybersecurity governance, making NIS2 a strategic issue rather than a purely technical one.

How I help you achieve NIS2 compliance

My first job is clarity: determining whether and how NIS2 applies to your organization. From there I translate the directive's obligations into concrete, proportionate measures your business can actually implement.

  • NIS2 applicability and scoping assessment
  • Gap analysis against directive requirements
  • Risk management framework aligned to NIS2
  • Incident detection and 24-hour reporting processes
  • Supply-chain security measures
  • Board-level governance and accountability structures

NIS2 and ISO 27001 together

NIS2 and ISO 27001 are highly complementary. An ISO 27001-based ISMS provides much of the risk management foundation NIS2 expects, which means a single, well-designed security program can serve both goals efficiently.

I design compliance programs that avoid duplication, so you meet regulatory obligations and recognized standards without running parallel projects.
