NIS2 Consulting

Comprehensive and structured NIS2 consulting with A1 Digital
The NIS2 Directive requires numerous companies to implement stricter cybersecurity measures. As an experienced NIS consultant, A1 Digital supports you throughout the entire process: from the initial risk analysis to technical implementation. Our NIS2 compliance consulting combines in-depth expertise with technical competence. We analyse existing security structures, identify gaps, and derive concrete measures to ensure long-term NIS2 certification.
Why is NIS2 now mandatory for companies?
New reporting requirements
Companies must report serious IT security incidents within 24 hours and provide an initial assessment. Failure to report is considered a violation of NIS2 compliance and will be punished accordingly.
Higher fines and personal liability
Violations of NIS2 requirements can be punished with fines of up to €10 million or 2% of global annual turnover. What is new is that executives can also be held personally liable if their organization fails to meet the requirements.
Extended scope of application
NIS2 affects essential and important infrastructure, such as energy, logistics, and IT services. As well as the industry, the size of the company is also relevant. Under NIS2, significantly more medium-sized and large organisations will be subject to compliance requirements.

Reaching NIS2 compliance with our consulting
PLAN: Analysis and goal definition
In the first step, we define the scope and objectives of your information security management system (ISMS). We evaluate regulatory requirements, analyze existing documentation, recommend the appropriate NIS2 certification, and conduct interviews with relevant stakeholders. The goal is to identify concrete and prioritized measures to close security gaps.

As part of our NIS2 compliance consulting, we implement the technical and organizational measures in your company. We involve top management in a targeted manner.
CHECK: Check and prove effectiveness
We then check the implementation. This involves follow-up analyses, technical tests (such as penetration tests), and KPIs. This ensures that your NIS2 compliance is both documented and verifiable.
ACT: Establish sustainable improvement
In the final step, we will transition your ISMS into regular operation and support you in continuously developing your security processes. Our goal is to achieve measurable growth in maturity and ensure long-term compliance with the NIS2 directive.
