The upcoming Network and Information Security (NIS2) directive applies to more companies than the current NIS. The NIS2 directive focuses on all sectors already covered by the first NIS directive, as well as some new sectors. This means more public and private organizations will be subject to it.

We test, inspect, certify and train your organization according to NIS2 standards, helping you demonstrably reduce cybersecurity risks for your network and information systems.
