NIS2 is not an IT project – it is a business management challenge

The EU’s NIS2 Cybersecurity Directive is now part of national law – and every organisation that falls under it must act now. Yet many companies still ask: “Isn’t this the responsibility of IT?” It’s not. NIS2 is the responsibility of management.

NIS2 is not just a technical requirement, but a strategic obligation. It is comparable in scope and impact to a development project such as ISO27001 certification. The difference is that NIS2 is sanctioned. In addition, the sanctions are also aimed at the management personally, not just at the organization.

Why should management be responsible for the project?

Because the NIS2 directive requires an operating model that is based on management policies and decisions. ICT is responsible for implementation – but the definition, allocation of resources and ensuring continuity are in the hands of business management. The NIS2 directive requires management to understand the impact of cybersecurity risks on the business and to regularly monitor risk management. 

If you don't know how to start yet or are afraid of the resource burden – good news: you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

A fast and cost-effective route to compliance

IODO and Fordione have jointly developed a solution that makes NIS2 deployment simpler and faster. It is a pre-modeled concept and a management and documentation platform that offers:

• A rationally structured process
• Ready-made documentation templates
• A scalable way to demonstrate compliance with requirements

This allows you to focus on your business – and sleep well at night knowing you are one step ahead when it comes to NIS2.
