For companies and system houses, NIS2 introduces
the following new features and obligations:

Extended scope of application: The NIS2 Directive applies to a wider range of companies, including small, medium-sized and large IT service providers and system houses, as suppliers and service providers to systemically important companies are also required to implement strict security measures.
Higher security requirements: Affected companies, suppliers and service providers – as well as IT system houses – must take robust security measures, such as implementing risk management processes, encryption and access control. It is also about ensuring resilience against cyber attacks.
Reporting obligations: In the event of security incidents, the affected companies or their system houses must report them promptly to the competent national authorities. The reporting obligations are significantly stricter and more detailed than before.
Stricter monitoring and sanctions: The authorities have extended powers to verify compliance with NIS2 requirements and can impose heavy fines for violations.

For system houses, this means that they must significantly strengthen security measures for their customers, monitor compliance and ensure that they are prepared for the expanded regulatory scope.

As a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), we help you comply with the requirements of the NIS2 Directive:

Proactive threat detection and defence
As an MSSP, we offer continuous monitoring of networks and systems as part of our UTM firewall solutions in order to detect and block threats at an early stage. In this way, we help our system house partners make their networks more resilient to cyber attacks and meet the NIS2 requirements for cyber security.

Security audits / risk management
NIS2 requires companies to implement comprehensive risk management strategies. As an MSSP, we offer security auditsto ensure that the system house’s security measures comply with NIS2 requirements. With automated pentests and website monitoring, we identify security gaps and recommend appropriate measures to mitigate the risks.

Preparation and support in the event of security incidents
We train IT managers to be digital first responders. This ensures that you can respond quickly and effectively in the event of a cyber attack. We also support you in complying with reporting obligations so that all security incidents can be documented and reported to the relevant authorities in accordance with NIS2 requirements.

Training and awareness
As part of our Managed Security Awareness service, we offer cyber security awareness training and online courses for employees to raise awareness of cyber threats and ensure that all employees understand and follow the necessary security guidelines and practices. Certificates of participation serve as proof of attendance.

In summary, our specialised expertise, advanced technologies and continuous monitoring enable our system house partners to efficiently implement the high security requirements of the NIS2 directive. This allows system houses to raise their cyber security to a level that complies with EU requirements while reducing the burden on their own resources.
