NIS2 at a Glance
The EU Network & Information Security Directive (NIS2) toughens the 2016 framework by expanding covered
sectors, mandating continuous risk management, and introducing fines of up to €10 million / 2 % global
turnover for essential entities. Compliance hinges on real-time visibility, faster incident reporting
(24-hour early-warning, 72-hour notification), and documented supply-chain security.
| Requirement | What the Directive Expects |
|---|---|
| Risk-management measures | All-hazards controls across policies, incident handling, business continuity & supply-chain |
| Incident reporting | 24 h early-warning → 72 h notice → final report within 1 month |
| Governance & accountability | Board oversight, staff training & potential personal liability for executives |
Why NIS2 Is Challenging in 2025
- Continuous visibility → continuous evidence. Point-in-time scans no longer satisfy auditors.
- Supply-chain scrutiny. Vendors, cloud workloads, and third-party SaaS must be monitored and documented.
- 24-hour early-warning. Requires near-real-time telemetry and mature incident workflows.
Enter RedRok: A Unified Platform Aligned with NIS2
- Red – Threat Intelligence: Monitors dark-web chatter, credential leaks & third-party incidents for Article 23 early-warning.
- Insight – Internal Scanning: Agentless discovery of misconfigurations, privilege-escalation paths & MITRE-mapped weaknesses.
- Exsight – External Exposure: Finds orphaned cloud assets, misconfigured DNS, and exposed APIs to bolster supply-chain assurance.
- Rokware – Awareness & Governance: Phishing simulations, micro-learning, and board-level reporting evidence.
A Sample NIS2 Roadmap with RedRok
- Day 0 – Baseline: Launch Insight & Exsight scans, generate initial gap-analysis.
- Week 1 – Remediation: Fix high-impact exposures and enable continuous dark-web monitoring.
- Month 1 – Governance: Present Rokware metrics to the board; configure 24 h early-warning templates.
- Quarterly – Supply-chain Reviews: Re-scan third-party services before renewals, attach results to vendor files.
Beyond the Directive: Added Business Value
- Reduced MTTD: Real-time analytics shrink dwell-time on networks.
- Audit efficiency: One-click PDF exports mapped to NIS2 Annex I & II.
- Cultural resilience: Continuous training keeps cybersecurity on the executive agenda.
