6 QUESTIONS, BRIEFLY ANSWERED

Frequently asked questions about NIS2 Security Measures

What are the 10 mandatory security measures under NIS2 Article 21?

NIS2 Article 21(2) requires essential and important entities to implement at least 10 measures: (1) risk analysis and information security policies, (2) incident handling, (3) business continuity including backup, disaster recovery and crisis management, (4) supply chain security, (5) security in acquisition, development and maintenance of systems, (6) policies to assess effectiveness of measures, (7) cyber hygiene practices and security training, (8) cryptography and encryption policies, (9) human resources security and access controls, (10) MFA and secure communication solutions.

What is the difference between technical and organizational NIS2 measures?

Technical NIS2 measures apply directly to IT systems: network segmentation, encryption, MFA, firewalls, SIEM systems and backup infrastructure. Organizational measures cover policies, processes and governance: security concepts, staff training, role assignments, supplier contracts and crisis management plans. NIS2 explicitly requires both categories equally. Neither purely technical nor purely documentary compliance is sufficient.

How do NIS2 requirements differ for essential vs. important entities?

The 10 security measures under Article 21 apply to both categories. The difference lies in the supervisory regime: essential entities face proactive supervision and audits by authorities such as the BSI. Important entities are subject to reactive oversight. Essential entities face higher maximum fines (up to €10M or 2% of annual turnover) and stricter proof obligations for implemented measures.

Does ISO 27001 certification satisfy NIS2 Article 21 requirements?

ISO 27001 and NIS2 Article 21 overlap significantly but are not identical. ISO 27001 certification covers many NIS2 requirements including risk analysis, incident management and access control, but does not address all NIS2-specific obligations, such as mandatory reporting to the BSI within 24/72 hours or specific supply chain requirements. Organizations with ISO 27001 have a significant head start on NIS2 compliance.

How must NIS2 security measures be assessed and evidenced?

NIS2 Article 21(2)(f) explicitly requires policies to assess the effectiveness of security measures. In practice, this means regular internal audits, penetration testing, vulnerability assessments and documented review cycles. Organizations must be able to demonstrate to authorities like the BSI not just that measures have been implemented, but that they are actually effective.

What does proportionality mean in the context of NIS2 security measures?

NIS2 Article 21 requires appropriate and proportionate measures taking into account: state of the art, implementation costs, risk exposure, organization size, probability and severity of potential incidents. Proportionality does not mean omitting measures (all 10 categories must be addressed), but tailoring the scope and depth of implementation to the actual risk profile of the organization.
