Checklist for NIS 2


www.NIS2Compliant.org | V 1.0, Updated in June 24, 2024

The NIS2 Directive is an updated version of the original NIS Directive (NIS1), introduced by
the European Commission in July 2016. Its primary goal is to enhance cybersecurity
measures across organizations in EU Member States. Building on the foundation of the
original directive, NIS2 expands its scope to include additional sectors and organizations,
addressing the growing challenges posed by emerging cyber-attacks.

NIS2 establishes a comprehensive framework that organizations must adhere to in order


to:
• Improve cybersecurity and cyber resilience
• Safeguard critical information systems and personal data
• Combat emerging cyber threats

This compliance checklist is categorized into 8 categories that represent the updated areas
in the NIS2 Directive updated areas in the NIS2 Directive.

1. Governance and Risk Management


2. Cybersecurity Policies and Procedures
3. Technical and Operational Measures
4. Security Technologies and Solutions
5. Technical Compliance and Certifications
6. Compliance with Legal and Industry Standards
7. Reporting and Communication
8. Human Resources and Training
1. Governance and Risk Management

Define organizational goals and risk appetite, assuring that any NIS2
compliance framework supports strategic objectives and acceptable risk
levels.

Assign clear roles and responsibilities for NIS2 compliance tasks,


identifying who is liable in case of non-compliance

Identify and document cyber risks in your environment, focusing on


internal and external factors that could impact security.

Regularly review cybersecurity measures and ensure management


involvement in the approval and oversight process.

2. Cybersecurity Policies and Procedures

Ensure security policies are documented, clearly understood, and


assessed periodically

Implement formal incident response plans and handling, including a


detailed ticketing system for incident detection, triage, and response to
meet reporting obligations.

Secure supply chain interactions and mitigate risks related to suppliers


or service providers, ensuring comprehensive security from end to end.

Establish backup management and disaster recovery plans that align


with agreed Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) to ensure business
continuity.
3. Technical and Operational Measures

Assess and implement basic cyber hygiene practices and conduct


regular cybersecurity training to maintain high-security standards.

Secure your network and information systems, focusing on robust


vulnerability handling and disclosure practices

Use strong cryptography and encryption practices for sensitive data,


such as encrypting data at rest and in transit to protect sensitive
information

Deploy robust endpoint protection and network and information security


measures to prevent unauthorized access and attacks

4. Security Technologies and Solutions

Employ comprehensive security solutions, including SIEM (Security


Information and Event Management), SOAR (Security Orchestration,
Automation, and Response), and UEBA (User and Entity Behavior
Analytics) tools. Ensure these comply with standards such as Common
Criteria EAL3+ and support GDPR, Schrems II, and CCPA regulations

Use SaaS solutions that comply with EU data residency regulations


(such as GDPR compliance for data protection). Ensure that cloud
environments are secured against breaches and unauthorized access.
5. Technical Compliance and Certifications

Ensure the use of multi-factor authentication and secured


communication systems for critical services, including voice, video, and
text communications, especially for remote or privileged access.

Apply relevant security frameworks and ensure compliance with


standards such as ISO 15408 for technology security and ISO 27001 for
information security management.

6. Compliance with Legal and Industry Standards

Understand and implement the requirements of NIS2, noting key


differences from the original NIS Directive.

Ensure cybersecurity strategies meet specific requirements pertinent


to critical infrastructure sectors such as healthcare (HIPAA compliance),
energy (NERC CIP standards), and finance (SOX compliance). Implement
recognized frameworks to strengthen security postures and standards,
such as NIST SP 800 series, ISO/IEC 27001, CIS Controls, and Mitre
Att&ck.

7. Reporting and Communication

Develop capabilities to swiftly detect, analyze, and report significant


incidents to relevant authorities (such as national CSIRTs) and notify
affected stakeholders, adhering to stipulated timelines and content
requirements.

Document governance processes and cybersecurity efforts


comprehensively. Use benchmarks such as ISO/IEC 27002:2022 for
standard compliance and automate reporting processes as much as
possible.
8. Human Resources and Training

Implement HR policies that rigorously control access based on


roles, conduct regular security assessments, and enforce strict
security training and awareness programs. Provide personnel with
comprehensive training on cybersecurity best practices, data handling,
and compliance obligations.
