The Network and Information Security 2 Directive (NIS2) is a new EU policy that aims to improve the collective cybersecurity of member states and protect critical organisations and infrastructure from cyber threats.

The elements involved to reach towards compliance are from a technology, people and processes standpoint. With our NIS 2 Technology mapping, we aim to support organisations in the technological driven requirements of NIS2. We demonstrate how to approach the NIS2 technical requirements and which Microsoft Solutions are there to support for each of the duties.

We are aware that this technology mapping is not exhaustive. There are specific features or other Microsoft solutions that also contribute towards a NIS2 compliance; however, we have aimed at a comprehensive overview to fit our broad audience.

With this technology mapping we aimed at the technology aspect of the NIS 2. However, as highlighted before, compliance of NIS 2 is not only a matter of technological measures. It requires people and processes to meet compliance goals, sustain them and continuously improve your cybersecurity posture.
