Get compliant with the NIS2 directive with eAuditor IAM

NIS2 (Network and Information Systems Directive 2) is a new EU directive that expands and strengthens network and information security obligations compared to the first NIS directive. NIS2 aims to improve the resilience and security of networks and information systems across the European Union. Below is a detailed description of NIS2 and an explanation of key terms related to the directive.

Assumptions of the new directive

NIS2 aims to

• Enhancing resilience and security: The directive aims to increase the level of protection of critical infrastructures and services from cyber attacks and other threats.
• Harmonization of approaches: Establishes common requirements for EU member states to ensure a consistent approach to network and information security across the Union.

Scope of application

NIS2 expands the scope of covered entities to include more sectors and services that are crucial to the functioning of society and the economy, such as:

• Energetics
• Transport
• Banking
• Financial markets infrastructure
• Health sector
• Digital sector, including cloud service providers and digital platforms.

Key responsibilities

NIS2 imposes obligations on organizations to:

• Risk management: Organizations must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to manage network and information system security risks.
• Incident reporting: In the event of a security incident that has a significant impact on service delivery, organizations are required to report it to the appropriate authorities.
• Security assessments: Organizations must regularly conduct security assessments of their systems and infrastructure to identify potential vulnerabilities and threats.

Key concepts related to NIS2

• Critical Infrastructure: Critical infrastructure refers to systems and resources that are essential to maintaining the basic functions of society and the economy. Its protection is crucial to ensure the continuity of services and minimize the impact of any incidents.
• Cyber Security: Cyber security refers to practices that protect systems, networks and data from cyber threats. In the context of NIS2, cyber security includes both technical and organizational measures to prevent and respond to incidents.
• Risk management: Risk management in the context of NIS2 means identifying, assessing and prioritizing potential threats to network and information system security. The process also involves implementing measures to minimize risks.
• Incident reporting: Incident reporting is the process of informing relevant authorities of security incidents that have a significant impact on service delivery. The goal is to ensure rapid response and minimize the impact of incidents on critical infrastructure.

How does eAuditor IAM support NIS2 compliance?

• IT security measures

The eAuditor IAM integrates advanced security mechanisms such as encryption and access control to protect data from unauthorized access and data loss.

• Monitoring and reporting

The system allows continuous monitoring of activities and generation of security reports, which allows quick detection of incidents and corrective actions.

• Business continuity planning

SOW supports the creation and implementation of business continuity plans, which include strategies for data recovery and restoration of normal operations after an incident. This is key to ensuring the stability and resilience of critical infrastructure. In summary, NIS2 is committed to ensuring a high level of security for networks and information systems by placing risk management and incident reporting responsibilities on organizations. The eAuditor IAM system supports these requirements by providing security management and monitoring tools, allowing organizations to meet the requirements of NIS2.
