With the introduction of NIS2, The EU Directive for Improving Digital Resilience, organizations face the challenge of bringing their security up to par. What does NIS2 now require of us and how do we translate this into actions? We have been getting these questions since the introduction of NIS2, and rightly so; the policy can create confusion. Read on to find out how we solve this with CSAT.
Cybersecurity is not a one-time job. Your IT environment is constantly evolving, so it is crucial to continuously monitor its status and vulnerabilities. NIS2 holds organizations responsible for gaining insight into the current state of their cybersecurity. This insight allows your IT department to take targeted action, stay one step ahead of hackers, and work towards NIS2 compliance. Remember: all aspects of your IT environment deserve attention; after all, you are only as strong as your weakest link.
According to Rabobank, the chance of a cyberattack is 1 in 5 for organizations. (Protect Yourself Against Cyber Incidents – Rabobank, n.d.) Additionally, the number of cyberattacks has increased significantly since 2019. It is no longer a question of whether you can expect a cyberattack but when.
Many organizations only discover the state of their security when it is too late, with consequences for both the company and its consumers. NIS2, a directive focused on improving overall IT network security, is the answer to this.
NIS2 stands for Network and Information Security and is designed to increase the cybersecurity maturity of organizations.
NIS2’s duty of care requires organizations to map out their security status and then develop an improvement plan. But how do you clearly map out your organization’s cybersecurity status? And how do you ensure that your improvement plan meets the requirements set by NIS2?
This is where CSAT comes in. Our Cyber Security Assessment Tool has been helping organizations for years by providing automated scans of the IT infrastructure to quickly identify potential security gaps. CSAT also includes a security questionnaire based on the Center for Internet Security (CIS) framework, an internationally recognized security framework with 18 security topics relevant to every organization.
NIS2 includes a dozen so-called ‘Measures.’ Through the built-in mapping of CIS controls to the NIS2 Measures, CSAT provides detailed and rapid insight into your organization’s cybersecurity status and how it aligns with the NIS2 guidelines.
In addition to providing insights into your compliance level with NIS2, CSAT generates a concrete action plan to further improve your organization’s cybersecurity. This not only helps you move towards better compliance with NIS2, but also proactively anticipate potential cyber threats.
Use CSAT as your navigation tool through the NIS2 guidelines and elevate your organization’s cybersecurity to a higher level. For more information or to schedule an appointment with one of our consultants, we are ready to assist you.
