NIS2 Readiness Assessment

Organizations operating in essential and important sectors are required to strengthen their cybersecurity capabilities and demonstrate compliance with the requirements established by the NIS2 Directive. Preparing for compliance involves more than implementing technical security controls; it requires a comprehensive understanding of governance, risk management, operational resilience, incident response, and supply chain security.

SQS supports organizations in evaluating their level of readiness through independent NIS2 Assessments designed to identify compliance gaps, assess the effectiveness of existing cybersecurity measures, and provide a clear roadmap towards compliance.

What is NIS2?

The NIS2 Directive (Directive (EU) 2022/2555) establishes a common cybersecurity framework across the European Union with the objective of improving the resilience of essential and important entities against cyber threats.

The Directive introduces enhanced cybersecurity requirements covering governance, risk management, business continuity, incident reporting, supply chain security, vulnerability management, access control, and security awareness. It also strengthens supervisory measures and establishes a harmonized approach to cybersecurity across Member States.

Organizations subject to NIS2 are expected to implement appropriate technical, operational, and organizational measures to manage cybersecurity risks and protect the continuity of their services.

Our NIS2 Readiness Assessment

Our assessment provides an independent evaluation of your organization’s current level of compliance with the requirements of the NIS2 Directive.

The assessment reviews existing cybersecurity governance, risk management processes, security policies, technical and organizational controls, incident management capabilities, business continuity arrangements, supplier risk management practices, and supporting documentation.

The objective is to identify areas requiring improvement and provide organizations with practical recommendations that facilitate the implementation of the measures required to achieve compliance.
