Organizational implementation and remediation in NIS2 programme
The ambition was to establish a structured, well-governed, and well-funded NIS2 compliance programme that proactively positioned the organization ahead of regulatory requirements. The goal was to secure executive buy-in, build a unified compliance framework across key markets, and ensure early action on critical risk areas to strengthen the company’s overall cybersecurity and address non-compliance.
The NIS2 compliance journey followed a three-phase approach, building strategic alignment, governance, and operational readiness; from securing executive commitment to establishing compliance oversight and executing targeted remediation initiatives.
- Secured executive approval and funding to ensure strategic commitment and regulatory alignment.
- Established a 2nd line programme to interpret NIS2 requirements, provide assurance, and oversee compliance across five key markets.
- Launched a 1st line remediation programme with eight projects to close major compliance gaps towards NIS2 compliance.
The programme successfully secured executive commitment and funding, establishing strong organizational backing for NIS2 compliance with the following:
- A multi-market compliance framework was implemented across five key markets, providing clarity on regulatory expectations and assurance processes.
- Through eight targeted remediation projects, the company achieved significant risk reduction, closed key compliance gaps, and strengthened operational readiness for the NIS2 directive.
- Anchored a structured process for translating future cybersecurity legislation into ISMS requirements enabling a cost-efficient, scalable, and sustainable approach to future regulatory compliance.
