NIS2 Gap Analysis & Implementation

Overview

As the deadline for the Network and Information Systems (NIS2) Directive compliance approaches on 17th October 2024, is your organisation prepared to meet the new standard?

We understand that every organisation faces unique challenges in adapting to new and updated regulations. That’s why our approach is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring efficient and effective compliance without disrupting your core business operations.

Razorthorn Security’s gap analysis can help you review your current compliance status and you’ll gain a clear roadmap to compliance, allowing you to allocate resources effectively and address critical areas first. Our expert team will ensure that your cybersecurity measures not only meet but exceed regulatory expectations.

Specifically designed for the provision of essential and digital services, the NIS2 are legally required measures to improve security of network and information systems.

At Razorthorn, we believe in a collaborative and comprehensive approach to achieving NIS2 compliance. Our regulation specialists work hand in hand with your internal teams and management to ensure a thorough understanding of your organisation’s unique challenges and needs.

Comprehensive Assessment

Our experts conduct an in-depth evaluation of your organisation, focusing on three key areas:

• Existing Cyber Security Infrastructure: We examine your current technological defences, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, data encryption methods and network segmentation. This allows us to identify your existing strengths and vulnerabilities.

• Policies: We review all relevant cybersecurity policies, from data protection and access control to incident response and business continuity. Our team ensures these policies align with NIS2 requirements and industry best practices.

• Procedures: We scrutinise your operational procedures, including how security measures are implemented, maintained and updated. This includes assessing your patch management processes, employee training programmes and incident response protocols.

Concise Reporting

Following our assessment, we provide you with a clear, concise report that evaluates your organisation’s current posture. This report is designed to give you an at-a-glance view of your compliance status, highlighting:

• Areas of strong compliance
• Identified gaps and vulnerabilities
• Priority areas for improvement
• Potential risks associated with non-compliance

This easy-to-understand format ensures that all stakeholders, from IT professionals to C-suite executives, can quickly grasp the organisation’s current standing and the work needed to achieve full compliance.

Detailed Action Plan

Building on our assessment and report, we then provide you with a comprehensive, tailored action plan for achieving NIS2 Regulations compliance. This plan is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but a bespoke roadmap designed specifically for your organisation. It includes:

• Additional Requirements for Compliance: We outline specific measures, tools, or processes that need to be implemented or improved to meet NIS2 standards. This might include enhanced encryption protocols, more robust access controls, or improved incident response capabilities.

• Resources Needed: We provide a detailed breakdown of the resources required to initiate and maintain the compliance project. This encompasses human resources (such as dedicated compliance officers or additional IT security staff), technological resources (like new security software or hardware) and financial resources (budget estimates for implementation and ongoing maintenance).

• Recommendations of Compliance Solutions: Our experts suggest specific solutions tailored to your organisation’s needs and constraints. These might include recommended security tools, training programmes, or consultancy services that can help bridge identified gaps efficiently.

• Realistic Timelines: We provide a pragmatic timeline for implementing the action plan, taking into account your organisation’s current posture, available resources and the impending compliance deadline. This timeline is broken down into manageable phases, allowing for steady progress and periodic reassessment.

With Razorthorn as your cybersecurity and compliance partner, your organisation gains not just a path to compliance, but a comprehensive strategy for enhancing your overall cybersecurity posture. Our method ensures that you’re not merely ticking boxes, but building a robust, resilient and compliant security infrastructure that will serve your organisation well beyond the NIS2 deadline.
