Frequently Asked Questions About the NIS2 Directive (FAQs)

From Regulation to Resilience: NIS2 with SIEMBIOT

The NIS2 (Network and Information Security) Directive introduces stricter cybersecurity, risk management, and reporting obligations for organizations across the European Union. With expanded scope and direct management accountability, compliance has become a strategic priority for business continuity and operational resilience.

This FAQ section answers the most important questions about NIS2 requirements and demonstrates how SIEMBIOT transforms compliance from a regulatory burden into a structured, technology-driven advantage. Through real-time monitoring, advanced threat detection, audit-ready reporting, and integrated risk management capabilities, SIEMBIOT enables organizations to achieve and prove NIS2 compliance with confidence.

Why Early Preparation Matters?

The complexity of NIS2 requirements, increased management responsibility, and the risks of non-compliance make early preparation essential.

Organizations that treat NIS2 as a formal checkbox exercise risk:

  • regulatory sanctions;

  • operational disruptions;

  • reputational damage.

Who is responsible for NIS2 compliance within the organization?

Responsibility no longer lies exclusively with the IT department. NIS2 introduces clear obligations for organizational management, which must be actively involved in cybersecurity decisions and the allocation of necessary resources. Also there should be a designated NIS2 representative within the company.

Can SIEMBIOT help prove compliance during audits?

Absolutely. SIEMBIOT includes pre-built NIS2 compliance reports, historical tracking of vulnerabilities and detections, and documented response playbooks and investigation timelines.

How quickly can an organization onboard to SIEMBIOT for NIS2 readiness?

Once verified, organizations can register on the SIEMBIOT portal, begin data analysis immediately, access compliance-aligned tools, and join collaborative research and training sessions.

How can I start the NIS2 compliance process?

The first step is an initial compliance assessment to identify existing risks and gaps. Based on this, a realistic compliance plan can be built, supported by specialized services and a technological platform such as SIEMBIOT.

What makes SIEMBIOT different from other compliance tools?

SIEMBIOT is not just a compliance tool it’s a collaborative cybersecurity research platform built on SOCaaS. It provides real-world training environments, a multi-tenant anonymized data lake, AI-driven analytics, and a vetted EU partner network for threat intel exchange.

What role does SIEMBIOT play in NIS2 compliance?

SIEMBIOT is the platform that supports the technological side of NIS2 compliance. It enables:

  • real-time monitoring of IT infrastructure,

  • detection and correlation of security incidents,

  • incident management and documentation,

  • generation of reports for audit and compliance purposes.

Through SIEMBIOT, organizations can demonstrate NIS2 compliance with verifiable and audit‑ready evidence.

Is NIS2 the same as ISO 27001?

No. NIS2 is a legal obligation, whereas ISO 27001 is a voluntary international standard. However, implementing controls and processes aligned with ISO 27001 can significantly support NIS2 compliance. Expertware helps organizations align these frameworks in a practical way.

Do I need an audit for NIS2?

Yes. Auditing is essential to understand the level of compliance and to demonstrate adherence to authorities or partners. Expertware provides NIS2 assessment and audit-ready reports , complemented by continuous monitoring through SIEMBIOT.

How long does the NIS2 compliance process take?

The duration depends on the organization’s current maturity level. For some companies, the process may take a few months, while for others, it may be a staged, longer-term effort. What matters is having a clear, risk-prioritized plan and a solution that supports continuous compliance.
