NIS2 scoping analysis and the establishment of security governance
The client, which serves EU customers, had an unclear position with respect to NIS2. A scope analysis was carried out; the management-responsibility framework, the policy set, and the incident-reporting processes were established within a single programme.
Investment cannot be planned until the scope question is answered
The sector and size criteria had to be read together with the security undertakings in the customer contracts.
Management wanted a clear view of the personal-liability framework and the reporting expectations.
Our Approach
Keeping the commercial objective at the centre, we broke the legal risks down into measurable steps.
01 · Scope
The scope was determined on a reasoned basis through sector, size and service links.
02 · Policy Set
Risk-management and security policies were written in practical, workable language.
03 · Notification Framework
An incident-classification and tiered-notification flow was established.
Timeline
The main stages of the process.
Security governance owned by management
The company gained a governance model that knows its scope, keeps its policy set alive, and has established in advance who reports what the moment an incident occurs.
- A reasoned scope assessment
- Workable policy set
- A tiered incident-notification flow
- A management-reporting framework
