NIS2 COMPLIANCE
NIS2 Directive Mapping
Map internet-exposed OT assets to EU NIS2 Directive requirements for essential and important entities.
The NIS2 Directive significantly expands cybersecurity requirements for critical infrastructure across the European Union. Energy, water, transport, and digital infrastructure operators are classified as essential entities with mandatory security measures under Article 21.
ShiftSix helps NIS2-regulated entities meet their obligations by providing continuous external visibility into OT exposure—identifying risks that internal tools miss and supporting the risk-based approach required by the directive.
How ShiftSix Maps to NIS2
Risk Analysis and Information System Security Policies
External OT exposure represents unmanaged risk that must be included in risk analysis. ShiftSix provides the outside-in data needed for comprehensive OT risk assessment.
Incident Handling
Knowing your external OT exposure before an incident occurs is essential for effective incident response. Pre-incident exposure baselines accelerate containment and scoping.
Supply Chain Security
Third-party vendor remote access connections are a leading cause of OT internet exposure. ShiftSix identifies vendor-created exposure paths across your supply chain.
Security in Network and Information Systems
Internet-exposed OT assets indicate network security failures. Continuous external monitoring ensures new exposure is detected as network changes occur.
Essential and Important Entity Classification
Organizations in energy, water, transport, and digital infrastructure are classified as essential entities under NIS2, with mandatory cybersecurity requirements including external risk management.
