Maintaining control under NIS2

Many organisations have their tooling in order, but lack the overview to truly understand and manage risks. NIS2 does not just ask for measures, but for demonstrable control.

PuurData helps organisations consolidate their data into a single, comprehensive overview, thereby enabling them to gain control over their cybersecurity.

NIS2 is a European directive that obliges organisations to demonstrably have their digital resilience in order. The responsibility is explicitly shifted to the board.

Management must not only ensure that cybersecurity measures are in place, but also be able to demonstrate that risks are recognised, monitored and controlled. In the event of incidents, oversight, decision-making and the extent to which organisations were ‘in control’ will be examined.

This means that cybersecurity is no longer an IT issue, but a board-level responsibility, with a direct impact on business continuity, reputation, and risk management.

In practice, we see that many organisations have their basics in order. Monitoring is set up, data is collected, and alerts are generated. But when something goes wrong, the overview is missing.

Information is scattered across different systems, insights differ per team, and the root cause of incidents is difficult to ascertain. Security solutions operate in isolation, without integration. Consequently, signals are missed or followed up too late.

There is no shortage of data, but there is a lack of coherence. This is precisely what makes it difficult to act quickly and with a solid basis, and to truly deliver on the responsibility that NIS2 demands.

In practice, cybersecurity is all about data. A lot of data.

Log files, metrics, user behaviour, network traffic and security events continuously generate signals. In isolation, these signals reveal very little. Value is only created when they are analysed in conjunction.

Organisations that are truly in control bring that data together and analyse it in real time. This creates a single, integrated overview of what's happening within the IT environment. And where the risks lie. That makes the difference between reacting afterwards and proactively managing risks.

PuurData helps organisations get a handle on cybersecurity by putting data at the centre.

Instead of adding yet another solution, we're bringing together existing data sources and making visible what's actually happening within the IT environment. It is precisely this coherence that makes it possible to recognise deviations faster and interpret incidents better.

This not only leads to insight but also to more targeted interventions.

Organisations that work with an integrated overview in cybersecurity gain better insight into their IT environment. Risks are recognised earlier, incidents understood more quickly, and decisions are better informed.

This provides a better grip. Not only in operations, but also at board level. Organisations become less dependent on standalone tools and teams and can demonstrate that they manage their cybersecurity. Precisely what NIS2 requires.
