Key Challenges to NIS2 Compliance

High requirements for governance and responsibilities

NIS2 requires clear responsibilities, defined roles, management accountability, and documented decision-making processes.

The osapiens HUB supports organizations in structuring responsibilities, roles, and governance processes and documenting them transparently across relevant business areas

Complex assessment of supplier risks

Since a large share of cyber incidents originates from third parties, NIS2 requires a structured and continuous risk analysis of service providers and suppliers. Many organizations currently lack a reliable and scalable data basis for this.

The osapiens HUB enables systematic recording and assessment of supplier risks using standardized questionnaires and continuous updates across the supply chain

Fragmented data & manual processes

Risk-relevant information is often scattered across Excel files, email inboxes, or isolated tools, making audits and verification difficult and time-consuming.

The osapiens HUB consolidates security-relevant data, evidence, and measures in one central platform and significantly reduces manual coordination and effort.

Increased fines & personal liability

NIS2 introduces significantly stricter enforcement mechanisms compared to previous requirements, including a stronger focus on management responsibility.

Companies must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, regularly review their effectiveness, and actively demonstrate that identified risks have been adequately addressed. Incomplete, missing, or insufficient documentation may already constitute a violation.

The osapiens HUB supports traceable documentation of measures and decisions, helping organizations prepare efficiently for audits and regulatory inquiries.

Who NIS2 Affects

Prevention of system-critical failures: Supply interruptions have immediate social and economic consequences. NIS2 aims to increase the stability of critical infrastructures in the long term.

Protection against targeted attacks (state/organized): Energy and water suppliers are among the preferred targets. NIS2 requires greater resilience to coordinated cyberattacks.

Mandatory incident reporting and rapid response capability: Shorter reporting deadlines and clear escalation processes are intended to prevent escalations and chain reactions.

Secure operation of networked systems: Smart grids, IoT measurement technology, and remote-controlled systems require binding technical and organizational security standards.

Increasing regulatory requirements and risk of fines: NIS2 tightens supervision and sanctions – compliance is becoming a key management issue.

Maintaining trust among the population and public authorities: Transparency and verifiable security measures are crucial for credibility with citizens and authorities.

Protection of sensitive patient and system data: Digital patient records, clinical systems, and medical devices are subject to particularly high security requirements.

Preventing life-threatening and care-related system failures: Cyberattacks can directly impact medical procedures, devices, and care. NIS2 addresses these risks in a structured manner.

Securing MedTech and pharmaceutical supply chains: Numerous manufacturers and suppliers fall under NIS2 – security requirements apply throughout the entire value chain.

Protection of clinical research and intellectual property: Research and development data are highly attractive targets for attackers and must be specifically protected.

Reduction of liability risks for management and institutions: NIS2 strengthens governance obligations and reduces personal liability risks through clear responsibilities.

Simultaneous compliance with multiple EU regulations (MDR, CSDDD, NIS2): Regulatory requirements are converging and require integrated, coordinated implementation.

Protection against production downtime and stoppages: Cyberattacks can paralyze production lines and manufacturing facilities. NIS2 supports the protection of critical production processes.

Securing complex, global supply chains: Industrial companies are heavily dependent on international suppliers. NIS2 requires risk transparency from Tier 1 to Tier n.

High sensitivity to failure due to tight production cycles: Even minor disruptions can interrupt the entire value chain.

Protection of IP, design, and R&D data: Mechanical engineering and industrial companies are prime targets for industrial espionage. NIS2 establishes structured protection requirements.

Protection of critical assets, including external access: NIS2 explicitly requires the protection of suppliers and partners with access to critical systems and data.

Ensuring production and delivery continuity: Cyberattacks on IT and OT systems can slow down or stop production lines. NIS2 requires robust risk management.

Increased attack surfaces due to networked production and IoT: Smart factory environments, sensor technology, and SCADA/ICS systems require binding minimum standards.

Stricter requirements for supply chain and service provider risks: Disruptions at raw material, ingredient, or packaging suppliers have a direct impact on delivery capabilities.

Obligation to report incidents quickly and ensure traceability: Tight reporting deadlines increase the requirements for processes, documentation, and responsibilities.

Particular regulatory sensitivity for hygiene-critical processes: Manipulation or failures can jeopardize product quality and consumer protection.

Protection of brand and consumer trust: Cyber incidents or product failures lead to significant reputational damage and regulatory attention.

Securing digital sales and platform structures: Retail, marketplace, and payment systems are highly networked and business-critical. NIS2 requires robust security measures.

Protection of core logistics processes: Wholesale, logistics, and delivery services are central links. Failures have a direct impact on availability and sales.

Increased threat from ransomware and supply chain attacks: Retailers manage large amounts of customer and transaction data and are attractive targets for attacks.

Strict requirements for incident reporting and response organization: NIS2 stipulates clear deadlines and defined response processes.

High dependence on third-party providers and platform services: Attacks on POS systems, cloud services, or e-commerce tools can completely paralyze operations.

Maintaining customer trust in a highly sensitive environment: Data misuse, payment fraud, or delivery failures lead to lasting loss of trust and regulatory pressure.

Talk to our experts

Simple, centralized, and efficient

The osapiens HUB enables you to capture NIS2-relevant information in a structured manner along your entire supply chain. This is done automatically and on a single platform. Suppliers that have been defined as NIS2-critical are specifically addressed and evaluated. This gives you a clear overview of key security aspects such as information security management, business continuity, supply chain risks, and incident response. The platform helps you identify risks early on and creates a solid foundation for reliable decisions and sustainable NIS2 compliance.

Well-founded, consistent, and transparent

The solution includes a defined selection of pre-assessed, NIS2-relevant certificates, such as ISO 27001, ISIS12, and other industry-specific standards. The osapiens HUB takes various certificate types and versions, such as “scoped” or “company-wide” certificates, directly into account in the risk assessment. This creates an objective and consistent risk profile for each supplier. In addition, you can add and evaluate your own certificate types at any time. This enables a transparent, traceable assessment based on qualitative evidence.

Automated, real-time, and reliable

The osapiens HUB continuously monitors your NIS2-relevant information and analyzes changes in real time. As soon as potential risks emerge or security-related factors such as certificates, questionnaires, or cases are updated, you will automatically receive a notification. This keeps you informed at all times, allows you to react early, and ensures that your supply chain and business areas continuously comply with NIS2 requirements. Without a lot of manual effort, but with maximum transparency and security.

Targeted, traceable, and audit-ready

If a potential risk is identified, the integrated case management system helps you take targeted action. Responsible parties can contact suppliers directly from the system, request evidence, document measures, and track progress seamlessly. All steps are recorded in an audit-proof manner so that every risk decision remains traceable. This turns pure risk identification into an active process of risk reduction.
