👓[FREE] This Month's Thematic Dossier: Bootstrapping NIS2 - A Practical Checklist for Leaders

Bonjour ☕

Here’s your free NIS2 compliance checklist, designed to remove ambiguity and help you demonstrate credible progress quickly. It utilises clear status boxes and a critical-priority marker to cut through noise, guiding you from scope to reporting without using jargon. It also distinguishes whether you are an Essential or Important entity, so you can calibrate effort appropriately.

Why it matters

NIS2 begins with scope and classification, then moves through governance, controls, training, and reporting.

CISOs and security leaders across Europe have one clear message: organisations need practical, actionable guidance for NIS2 compliance, not another theoretical framework.

This checklist reflects the end-to-end path and provides leaders and their teams with a shared view of what to set up and how to evidence it across registers and documentation.

The landscape

Our experience shows that successful compliance is more than implementing everything at once. This checklist helps you focus on what matters most when it matters most. Each section is designed to build upon the previous one, ensuring a logical and manageable progression.

What makes this checklist different

We've transformed complex regulatory requirements into a straightforward, visual checklist that eliminates the guesswork from NIS2 compliance. No jargon, no overwhelming documentation—just clear, actionable steps prioritised for efficient implementation:

• Visual priority markers (⚡) highlighting critical actions.

• Structured progression from assessment to implementation.

• Clear distinction between Essential and Important Entity requirements.

Who this is for

• SME leaders and boards seeking clarity and oversight.

• CISOs, security leads, and IT managers aligning effort and evidence.

• Operations and risk owners coordinating suppliers and teams.
