NIS 2
Compliance step by step

Manage NIS 2 with verinice

The security of network and information systems is essential for companies and public institutions. With the introduction of the NIS2 directive, the European Union is placing increased demands on information security in order to strengthen resilience to cyber attacks.

verinice, as THE open source GRC tool, supports organizations in complying with the new NIS2 directive. It enables a low-threshold introduction and a customized implementation of the NIS 2 requirements – which contributes to both compliance and a more resilient security posture.

Discover how you can use verinice on your way to NIS2 compliance. The NIS 2 domain is included in all next generation verinice bundles and can be tested free of charge for 30 days in our verinice.cloud.

NIS 2 with verinice.veo

In Q4/2024, the NIS 2 domain will be available in the new verinice.veo – initially as a SaaS offering verinice.cloud, and later also on-prem. You can either subscribe to just verinice NIS 2 or, depending on your requirements for an integrated management system, access combinations with the practically bundled offerings (Data Protection, Grundschutz, ISO 2700x, TISAX).

The following key functions are available:

  • Reporting to supervisory authorities (NIS-2 point of contact):
    • Recording of your company data
    • Report for proper notification
    • from Q1/2025: Option to select the responsible supervisory authorities in Europe
  • Technical and organizational measures (TOM) for the organization
  • Record business processes and associated TOM depending on the level of impact
     
  • Incident management for a mandatory response (administration and reporting) to security incidents
    • Report after 24 hours / situation report after 72 hours / final report after 1 month
  • Documentation and administration of supply chains to fulfill reporting requirements
  • Contract and document management

You will receive a detailed introduction to the concept and possible uses of the tool through an extensively designed demo profile. After the German implementation act NIS2UmsuCG comes into force, we integrate the deviations between the EU directive and the German law and highlight them.

Risk management and risk analysis in accordance with the NIS2 requirements (Art. 21) are integrated into the domains of basic protection and ISO 27001 (from Q1/2025).

With the release of verinice.veo, the verinice team offers the possibility to migrate to the new verinice generation. Are you already using verinice? You can transfer your data and use it for the NIS 2 domain which is included in every bundle for verinice.veo.

The new verinice as SaaS verinice.cloud is ready for use and the range of functions is gradually being expanded. We present the progress transparently here. You decide when the time is right for you to start or switch. SerNet will continue to support the classic verinice until 2027.


NIS 2 Risk Catalog

Are you still using verinice Standalone or verinice.PRO

We have a solution for this scenario as well: verinice offers NIS 2 support through the "verinice risk catalog (ISO 27001 / NIS 2)". The risk catalog maps the requirements of the NIS 2 directive precisely to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and can be used in the ISM perspective.

The catalog is available in both a free (German only) and a paid version and can be used as an add-on module directly in verinice. The module was developed in close cooperation with the VDMA and aims to support organizations of all sizes and industries in seamlessly implementing the NIS 2 directive.
