NIS2 Consulting: Meet Your Obligations and Prove It to Auditors
Under NIS2, your management must approve and oversee security measures and can be held personally liable; fines reach up to €10 million or 2% of global annual turnover. You learn whether you are in scope; we close the gaps against Section 30 BSIG and implement the measures, from identity and logging to incident response and cloud security. Insight42 is recognized with the German Innovation Award for decentralized, risk-eliminating architectures.
Under NIS2, paperwork alone won’t protect you
With Germany’s NIS2 implementation act (NIS2UmsuCG), binding obligations on risk management, incident reporting and supply chain security apply to far more organizations, possibly including yours. What counts is that your measures actually work and that you can prove it.
With our NIS2 consulting, technical implementation and compliance work as one: measures are built to be evidenced from the start, and nothing gets stuck between IT and compliance.
Note: We advise on technical and organizational implementation. We do not replace legal advice.
From scope check to audit readiness, step by step
1. Scope check: are you affected?
You learn whether your organization is likely to qualify as an essential or important entity, which units and services are in scope and which obligations follow, such as registration with the BSI. We assess sector, size and activity; please confirm the legal assessment with your legal counsel.
2. Gap analysis: a roadmap you can act on
You see exactly where you stand against the risk management measures of Section 30 BSIG: existing controls assessed, gaps documented and ranked by risk and effort, so your budget goes where risk is highest first.
3. Risk management that stays current
Your risk register, crown-jewel analysis and security policies, built or sharpened so you know which assets matter most, reassess risks regularly and can show how every measure is managed.
4. Identity, MFA & PAM: control who gets in
A stolen password alone no longer gets anyone in: MFA for all access, privileged access management with just-in-time rights, conditional access and regular access reviews in a zero-trust model.
5. Supply chain security: vendor risk under control
You know which service providers and cloud vendors put you at risk: we assess them, write security requirements into contracts and collect evidence such as C5 attestations. For software supply chains we implement code signing and provenance.
6. Incident response: report to the BSI on time
When an incident hits, your team knows what to do: an incident response plan, playbooks and exercises, plus defined reporting paths for significant security incidents.
Detect, keep operating, prove it
7. Logging & monitoring: spot attacks early
Central logging, SIEM/SOAR use cases and alerting show your team what is happening and let you trace every incident end to end.
8. Business continuity: keep working after an incident
Immutable backups, restore tests against defined RTO/RPO and emergency and crisis management, so you know how fast you are back up before you need it.
9. Cloud security under your control
Secure landing zones, cloud security posture management that flags misconfigurations across multi-cloud environments, network segmentation and encryption where you hold the keys. See our key management consulting.
10. Evidence & audit readiness: no scramble before audits
Every measure has an owner and evidence, automated wherever possible: exported access reviews, logged restore tests, attested configurations. You answer audits, BSI evidence requests and customer security questionnaires from what you already have.
11. BSI C5 and ISO 27001 mapping: no double work
NIS2 is rarely your only framework. We map each measure to the frameworks you already serve, so one piece of evidence covers several requirements: an existing ISO 27001 ISMS is a good starting point, and the risk management measures of Section 30 BSIG as well as the supply chain obligations can largely be evidenced with C5 controls.

How NIS2-ready is your organization?
In a 30-minute initial call you find out whether you are likely in scope, where your implementation stands and whether a NIS2 readiness assessment is worth it for you.
Why Insight42
- Pass audits with less effort: architectures aligned with BSI C5, NIS2 and GDPR from day one, for enterprises and public-sector organizations in Germany and Europe.
- One accountable team: assessment, architecture, implementation and operations from one source. No hand-offs, no finger-pointing, less coordination for you. Founded and led by Martin-Peter Lambert in Ingolstadt.
- Results that run in production: we build and run our own products (Secretary42, Unimatrix-OI, InheritanceVault) and bring the same discipline to your project.
- You stay in control: data residency, key custody (BYOK/HYOK) and a documented exit strategy are built in from day one, not bolted on later.
