NIS2 and DORA Compliance: Turn a regulatory obligation into real business resilience
NIS2 and DORA compliance means bringing your processes, infrastructure and contracts in line with two EU cybersecurity rules. DORA applies to financial firms and their ICT providers. NIS2 is far broader – energy, transport, manufacturing, healthcare and digital infrastructure, among others. If your sector or size puts you in scope, the obligations – and board‑level accountability – are already running.
Executive summary: For essential entities, NIS2 non‑compliance carries fines of up to €10m or 2% of total worldwide annual turnover, and the directive adds personal accountability for board members (source: NIS2 Directive, EU 2022/2555 — fines: Art. 34; management accountability: Art. 20 and Art. 32(6)). DORA adds resilience testing and oversight of ICT providers. Getting ready costs a fraction of that exposure. With us you start from a gap audit and leave with a roadmap and audit evidence – usually in a few weeks.
The NIS2 Directive and DORA Regulation Represent a Revolution in The Approach to Cybersecurity
We act as your comprehensive partner, translating complex legal requirements into understandable language and designing and implementing all necessary measures to ensure your company’s full compliance and resilience.
Challenges Related to NIS2 and DORA
For thousands of companies in Europe, the new regulations pose serious challenges:
You don’t know where to start.
Both acts are sprawling, and many firms can’t even tell whether they’re in scope. Impact: decision paralysis and lost time before the deadline.
Penalties and board liability.
NIS2 pushes accountability onto the board; DORA enforces oversight of your providers. Impact: personal exposure for directors, not just the company.
No hands, no in‑house expertise.
Your IT team lacks the specialized knowledge to independently guide the company through the entire process—from legal interpretation to solution implementation.
Your safeguards lag the rules.
Existing measures and continuity plans don’t meet the new requirements — ICT supply chain, resilience testing, reporting. Impact: gaps an auditor or an attacker finds first.

NIS2 audit readiness three months early, 18 measures live
Client:
A transportation industry company subject to the NIS2 Directive.
Challenge:
The company had to adapt its processes and technology to the new, rigorous requirements in a short time. They lacked the resources to conduct risk analysis and implement the required measures.
Solution:
We conducted a comprehensive Gap Analysis in relation to NIS2. We created a roadmap and then implemented key measures, including security policies, a business continuity plan, and an incident management process.
Results:
Achieving full NIS2 audit readiness 3 months ahead of the deadline.
Implementation of 18 security measures required by the directive.
Building a solid foundation for further development of the cybersecurity program.
Your company can also go through this process smoothly and stress-free. Let us discuss how we can help you with this.

Frequently Asked Questions
DORA covers financial entities and their ICT providers. NIS2 is much broader — energy, transport, healthcare, manufacturing, digital infrastructure and more. Sector, size and role decide. We start with a 60‑minute workshop that settles exactly whether, and how, the rules apply to you.
DORA is a sector regulation for finance, focused on ICT third‑party risk, resilience testing (including TLPT) and incident reporting. NIS2 is a horizontal directive across many sectors, transposed in Poland through the national cybersecurity act. DORA applies directly; NIS2 works through national law.
It’s a strong foundation, but it doesn’t close the topic. Both rules add requirements beyond the standard: ICT supply‑chain risk management, operational resilience testing and specific incident‑reporting timelines. Treat ISO 27001 as the start line, not the finish.
We’re a technology company, not a law firm. We do the gap analysis and roadmap, but we also implement the measures: backup and disaster recovery, penetration testing, 24/7 SOC monitoring, identity management. You’re left with a working system, not just paperwork.
DORA has applied directly since 17 January 2025. NIS2 was due to be transposed into EU member states’ national law by 17 October 2024; in Poland that runs through an amendment to the national cybersecurity act. In practice the obligations are already live, and inspections and fines are a matter of time.
TLPT (threat‑led penetration testing) is advanced resilience testing built on real attack scenarios, required of key financial entities. The register of information is a record of every ICT‑provider contract that an entity keeps and makes available to supervisors. We help you prepare both.
