Enobyte provides comprehensive support to businesses implementing the NIS2 Directive, even in the event of a direct cyber-attack. Our experienced team is familiar with a broad range of threat scenarios and offers expert assistance with regulatory reporting requirements, damage containment, and the restoration of impacted IT systems.

“Well prepared for when it matters most.”
Now is the time to implement preventive measures.

The first essential step in complying with the NIS2 Directive is determining whether your organization falls within the directive's scope. Due to the complex regulatory environment and sector-specific distinctions defined in the NIS2 Directive, clearly establishing applicability is often not immediately apparent for many organizations.

To provide rapid and straightforward guidance, we offer a free initial self-assessment test. This assessment, based on guidelines derived from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), allows for an initial categorization within just ten minutes. Based on your input, the self-assessment will classify your organization into one of the following categories:

• Not in scope
• Important entity
• Essential entity
• Critical infrastructure (KRITIS)
  (Note: KRITIS is commonly used in Germany, but within the NIS2 Directive, these would typically fall under "Essential entities")

However, to ensure legal certainty and a definitive determination, we provide an additional, detailed legal assessment conducted by specialized attorneys should you choose to engage our services. This comprehensive evaluation considers specific legal, technical, and sector-related factors, ensuring your organization's decisions are based on reliable and authoritative analysis.

The detailed determination and final applicability assessment regarding the NIS2 Directive typically takes only a few days, providing your organization with timely clarity and enabling you to promptly initiate any necessary actions. With our support, you can proactively identify regulatory obligations and strategically prepare your compliance roadmap.

After the initial applicability assessment confirms that your organization falls within the scope of the NIS2 Directive, the next step is a comprehensive gap analysis. The primary goal of this detailed evaluation is to systematically review all relevant areas of your organization for compliance with the requirements set forth by the NIS2 Directive. This analysis transparently documents areas already meeting compliance standards, as well as those requiring further improvement.

Our gap analysis is based on an extensive and thorough assessment questionnaire covering all relevant aspects of the directive, including cybersecurity measures, operational technology (OT) security, risk management, incident management and reporting processes, business continuity and crisis management, supply chain security, documentation procedures, and staff training. The assessment is typically completed by the relevant department heads and responsible experts within your organization to ensure an accurate and realistic evaluation of the current situation.

Once the data collection is complete, our specialists carry out an expert evaluation. The entire analysis process—from completing the questionnaire to delivering the final report—generally spans several weeks, as we meticulously assess each area of your organization, often following up with in-depth queries to ensure full clarity. Our aim is to provide a differentiated, complete, and transparent picture of your organization's current state of NIS2 compliance.

The final gap analysis report not only provides a clear overview of your organization's current compliance status with respect to the NIS2 Directive but also includes a detailed breakdown of identified improvement opportunities (“gaps”), accompanied by practical and actionable recommendations. Additionally, we thoroughly discuss the report with you either via an online meeting or, upon request, in person. During this review, we clearly highlight priority areas, outline recommended measures along with their implementation priorities, and remain available to answer any detailed questions concerning every aspect of the assessment.

With our comprehensive gap analysis, we lay a robust foundation for systematically addressing compliance requirements, providing you with a clear roadmap for sustainably meeting the NIS2 Directive obligations.

After completing the gap analysis, the crucial next step is the implementation of the necessary measures to fully align your organization with the NIS2 Directive. As a specialized consultancy, our goal is to make this process as smooth and efficient as possible for your organization.

We either support your existing IT service provider by clearly defining the specific measures needed to effectively address the identified gaps, or, if necessary, handle the full implementation process ourselves. Our experts clearly communicate and precisely outline the necessary actions and actively accompany your implementation journey. Following implementation, we thoroughly review all measures to ensure their completeness and correctness.

Should your organization currently lack a suitable IT provider, we will gladly recommend proven partners from our trusted network who can handle technical implementations with high competence and reliability.

In particularly urgent scenarios or when the situation requires immediate attention, we are also prepared to directly undertake individual tasks or even the entire implementation. We guarantee that all necessary actions will be carried out promptly and at a consistently high standard, even under intense time constraints.

With our support, your organization can confidently meet the NIS2 Directive requirements effectively, sustainably, and on schedule.
