NIS2 and ISO 27001 – the complete mapping of requirements
The NIS2 Directive ("The Network and Information Security Directive") forms the regulatory basis for cyber security in Europe. When it comes into force, information security will become a compliance issue – especially for companies whose management is obliged to implement specific security measures in accordance with Article 20.
The ISO 27001 standard is a suitable answer to the question of a systematic, structured approach. It already covers many of the security measures required in NIS2 and therefore provides a sound basis for your compliance strategy. Successful ISO 27001 certification is therefore a strong foundation for addressing the NIS2 requirements.
