NIS2 BOX
The updated European Union's Network and Information Security ('NIS2') Directive will be implemented in national legislation in all EU countries by end 2024. NIS2 aims to strengthen cybersecurity and digital resilience of important and essential public and private organisations and their suppliers. Management boards are responsible for the implementation of cybersecurity measures and can be held liable. Members of the management are also required to follow trainings. Especially smaller organisations will meet challenges to comply with the new legal requirements.
Money on the table
Audits
The right security capabilities can significantly reduce the risk of a cyber attack, which may lead to loss of IP, downtime, costly and time-consuming recovery activities, regulatory fines, and/or impaired credibility with clients and investors. Our audits provide a realistic view of the actual risks and the security capabilities to protect the organisation, as well as a roadmap of prioritised security improvements.
Business assessments
If you are considering the acquistion of, the merger with, or the investment in a security business, you will be interested in the product-market fit, growth-potential, down-side risks, and potential integration aspects before you make your final decision. We offer strategic investment advice covering all of these aspects. Our advice is based on a deep understanding of security concepts and technologies, the perspectives of technical and economic buyers of security products and services, and our experience with merger and acquistions and investment processes.

The marketplace and regulators are increasingly seeking assurance of organisations that they have their security and privacy in order. Certifications provide that assurance, but reduce agility and come with cost. We offer strategic advice on the right type and scope of certification, design pragmatic policies an controls, and implement automated processes to manage compliance and certification.
