Complies with NIS2. Yet still vulnerable.
NIS2 holds management personally liable. The gap between documented compliance and effective implementation in M365 is a liability risk. Download the whitepaper.
The 4 Critical Implementation Gaps in NIS2 Projects
Ein Selbstcheck: Ist Ihre NIS2-Umsetzung betriebswirksam?
Understanding where documentation differs from technical reality
Identify which vulnerabilities pass the audit but do not provide protection
Understanding what verifiable NIS2 implementation looks like
THIS GUIDE WILL CHANGE THINGS FOR YOU
Based on NIS2 assessments in Microsoft 365 environments. Tailored for organizations with 250 or more employees.
You are familiar with the four most common gaps between NIS2 documentation and technical implementation in M365.
You understand why passing an audit does not protect you from personal liability.
You can provide the board with verifiable evidence of compliance, not just documentation.
The most common problems faced by companies
NIS2 measures are documented and audited; 30% of them are not technically active.
Microsoft 365 E5 is licensed to cover NIS2; PIM, Defender, and DLP are not fully configured.
The audit confirms compliance. During normal operations, configurations can drift without anyone noticing.
Compliance is the responsibility of the legal department, implementation is handled by IT—but no one checks for technical effectiveness.
The documentation says green. 60% of sensitive data is stored in unprotected Teams channels.

HOW TO SYSTEMATICALLY CLOSE THESE SECURITY GAPS
No need to redo your NIS2 documentation—a technical assessment that maximizes the value of your existing M365 license and provides the board with verifiable proof of compliance.
Compare NIS2 requirements with the actual M365 configuration
Distinguish between compliance on paper and effective implementation
Technically verify MFA, conditional access, and DLP coverage
Detecting and Preventing Configuration Drift During Operation
Prepare audit-ready documentation for government agencies and insurance companies
Develop executive reporting based on technically verifiable metrics
