NETWORK AND INFORMATION security 2 (NIS2)

NIS2 compliance – without duplicate documentation

With Wired Relations, you can identify and assess risks related to your critical systems and vendors. Our platform is built to support the requirements of the NIS2 Directive – we’ve incorporated the statutory NIS2 measures, aligning them directly with your existing information security framework. This allows you to leverage your current documentation and approach, gaining a continuous overview of your path to NIS2 compliance.

Each control shows its usage status ('Yes'), the option to add selection reasons, current status ('In progress'), and multiple linked references to related ISO controls.

Background: What is NIS2?

The NIS2 directive aims to strengthen cybersecurity across the EU

The purpose of the NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Security 2) is to raise the level of cybersecurity in the EU’s critical infrastructure to match the region’s high degree of digitalisation and today’s evolving threat landscape.

Does the directive apply to your organisation?

Your organisation may be directly affected, but you could also be indirectly impacted by requirements to comply with NIS2 if you are part of the supply chain for a NIS2-covered entity.

We continuously monitor regulatory developments and implement new requirements into the Wired Relations platform – making it easier for you to stay compliant.

How Wired Relations supports your NIS2 compliance: 5 key benefits

Reuse existing documentation and controls

NIS2 places specific demands on organisations’ cybersecurity, which aligns closely with the information security practices already supported by Wired Relations.

We’ve mapped the NIS2 measures from Article 21 of the directive directly against the ISO 27002:2022 controls – and we continuously update the platform as new sector-specific legislation is introduced. This ensures you're always up to date with current requirements.

You can view both sets of measures in your SoA (Statement of Applicability), giving you a clear overview of what’s required to comply with NIS2. At the same time, you can reuse your existing documentation and controls, building on what you’ve already established – no need to start from scratch.

Clear overview and progress tracking toward NIS2 compliance

With Wired Relations, you get a real-time overview of your progress on implementing each individual NIS2 measures – plus a system to track tasks and report status.

Because you can reuse your existing documentation and security controls, you don’t start from zero. Instead, you begin with a solid foundation, focusing your efforts on what still needs to be done to meet the directive’s requirements.

Cross-team involvement and task management

Bring the organisation on board through our Task Management feature. Easily manage and track team responsibilities, task status, deadlines, and more. Use labels and filters to stay on top of progress and ensure accountability across the board.

Efficient and structured risk assessments

Risk assessments are central to both the NIS2 Directive and the Wired Relations platform. Our solution makes it easy to assess risks – both from the perspectives of individuals, the organisation, and society. This provides you with a comprehensive risk picture and a solid basis for implementing targeted controls and mitigating actions.

One control – multiple frameworks

Wired Relations enables you to structure and centralise all your organisation’s information security documentation. You only need to document once, as the same controls can be reused across multiple compliance frameworks – eliminating duplicated work and the need for parallel documentation tracks.

At the same time, the platform lets you filter your view to focus specifically on the controls and documentation relevant to a particular framework – such as NIS2 or ISO 27001.
