NIS2 Gap Analysis and Plan on Insights

“What do I need to fix to get NIS2 compliant by the deadline? “
By conducting assessments to identify gaps between your organization’s security environment and NIS2 directive, you can gain a comprehensive understanding of a company’s cybersecurity risks. These assessments, which examine both organizational and technical aspects, are conducted efficiently using internationally recognised frameworks like IEC 62443 and C2M2. Through these assessments, organizations can identify areas of weakness and prioritize improvements based on risk levels. This process allows organizations to create a solid foundation for their cybersecurity posture and effectively address potential threats.
Following the gap analysis, organizations can use the insights gained to develop actionable plans to address identified risks. Short-term plans focus on quick solutions to mitigate immediate risks, while long-term plans involve implementing comprehensive security measures and policies. These actions could include developing security policies, establishing secure reference architectures, or implementing security tools for incident detection and response. By taking these steps, organizations can strengthen their cybersecurity posture and ensure they are prepared to handle any potential threats effectively.

Accelerated Security Compliance Upgrade

“How will we fix the gaps within the given time constraints?”

We can start improving the cybersecurity level by fixing weaknesses immediately.

  • Utilizing assessment insights to prepare short-term and long-term action plans.
  • Implementing assessments using IEC 62443, C2M2, or the CRA frameworks and prioritizing improvements based on the level of risk.
  • Focusing on quick wins for immediate risk reduction.
  • Considering comprehensive security measures for long-term resilience.
  • Implementing awareness programs for employees.

Insoft Services provides support from implementation for a secure reference architecture to helping out with required organizational changes and trainings.

NIS2 compliance for industrial networks

Insoft Services offers support to ensure your OT infrastructure complies with NIS2 regulations by implementing the following key initiatives:

  1. Ensuring that your OT devices meet the security standards outlined in ISA/IEC 62443 Part 4-1 and Part 4-2 to prevent cyber risks from compromising your operations
  2. Conducting thorough OT cyber risk assessments so you gain visibility into your industrial network to identify and prioritize potential security vulnerabilities, enabling you to implement effective risk mitigation strategies.
  3. Implementing a zero-trust network approach: Segment your network into smaller zones of trust as per ISA/IEC 62443 Part 3-3 to limit communication between assets and prevent the spread of malicious traffic throughout your operations.
  4. Transitioning to zero-trust remote access solutions to enhance remote access security by replacing insecure cellular gateways with more controlled VPN solutions that provide selective access to OT assets, improving overall security posture.
  5. Establish incident detection and reporting mechanisms: Meet NIS2 reporting requirements by deploying tools for rapid incident detection and response, facilitating thorough investigations to enhance threat awareness and protection across the industry.

Test once and comply to many

In today’s complex regulatory environment, companies are faced with a multitude of controls and rules to comply with, from internal controls to industry-specific regulations like ENTSO-E for the Energy sector. NIS2 adds another layer of complexity to the mix. Managing these requirements separately leads to inefficiencies and increased costs. A unified approach allows organizations to streamline compliance efforts and reduce costs. By testing once and complying with many regulations, organizations can ensure compliance across multiple frameworks with ease. This approach simplifies the compliance process and enables organizations to achieve effective compliance in a more efficient manner.
