Adhering to the requirements of the NIS2 directive demands structure and a targeted approach. Our approach to working with NIS2 involves five phases, each supporting the development of a sustainable and structured security framework.
Initially, you need to gain an overview of the scale of the task within your organisation.
How to do it with Wired Relations: In Wired Relations, Management can easily track the progress of initiatives, access the necessary documentation, and monitor compliance with NIS2 requirements – so invite them into the system. We can also support you in doing a gap analysis based on your specific situation and needs.
Once you’ve got the overview, it is crucial to establish a clear structure for your information security work, which you can achieve through these steps:
How to do it with Wired Relations: Systems and vendors are part of the backbone of Wired Relations. You’ll quickly gain a complete overview of systems and vendors, see their interconnections, and map supply chains. With Wired Relations, you can easily identify and assess the risks associated with critical systems and vendors. Our colour coded layout of risks makes it even easier to keep an overview. Additionally, you can link relevant policies and procedures to individual security measures, send them to the relevant staff, and follow up on who has or has not read them.
Working with cyber and information security is an ongoing process that requires managing initiatives and tasks to create a sustainable setup.
How to do it with Wired Relations: Wired Relations supports all activities in this phase. You can streamline your work with NIS2 requirements based on the systematic approach you already use for your information security management. Our platform allows you to work purposefully and systematically with NIS2 requirements without starting from scratch. We have mapped security measures from Article 21 of the NIS2 directive to the security measures in ISO 27002:2022, meaning you can avoid duplicate work and documentation.
If you're already working with the ISO 27000 series, you can build on your existing documentation and avoid duplicate work.
Training and internal awareness around cybersecurity is a cornerstone of any NIS2 programme.
How to do it with Wired Relations: You can leverage Wired Relations' ‘Track Policy' feature to roll out your cyber and information security awareness programme and monitor how many people have read your policies and procedures.
Working with NIS2 is an ongoing process that requires regular assessments and adjustments.
How to do it with Wired Relations: Wired Relations allows you to document, stress-test, and improve your security measures. With our Task Manager function, you can easily set up (recurring) tasks to remind you of regular evaluations and updates.
Outcome: A solid framework that enhances your organisation's ability to defend against cyber threats
With Wired Relations, you’ll have a comprehensive overview of both ISO27002 and NIS2 measures. Instead of working with siloed documentation tasks and risking duplication, you can document your information security efforts in one unified system. This provides an efficient and structured approach to NIS2 requirements, while continuing and strengthening your existing information security work.
With Wired Relations, you can continue your existing information security efforts without duplicating documentation.
