We begin by reviewing legal entities, sectors, services, size criteria, locations and dependencies against the applicable national rules. The service then defines in-scope systems, processes, suppliers and evidence. Where a point requires formal legal interpretation, we flag it for confirmation with your legal counsel or competent authority rather than presenting consultancy as legal advice.
NIS2 Compliance & Readiness Assessment
Determine applicability, identify gaps against NIS2 and national requirements, and turn the findings into a practical remediation plan. B2B Cyber supports governance, risk management, incident readiness, supply-chain controls and implementation evidence.
From NIS2 Requirements to an Executable Readiness Programme
NIS2 readiness starts with scope. Organisations need to determine whether they are essential or important entities under the national law that transposes the Directive, which services and systems are in scope, and who owns the resulting obligations. Customers and partners may also expect clearer evidence of cybersecurity risk management.
Typical gaps are not limited to policies. They often involve risk ownership, management oversight, incident handling and notification, business continuity, supplier security, vulnerability management, access controls, cryptography, training and evidence that controls operate in practice.
B2B Cyber translates NIS2 requirements into a structured assessment and delivery plan. We map obligations to your organisation, evaluate current controls and documentation, prioritise remediation and support implementation without presenting the work as certification or a guarantee of compliance.
NIS2 readiness exists when obligations become owned, 
tested and evidenced security practices— 
not when a policy set is merely completed. 
Core Areas of NIS2 Compliance and Readiness
Applicability and Scope Assessment
Review legal entities, sectors, services, size criteria, locations and dependencies against the relevant national NIS2 rules. Define the systems, processes and suppliers that require assessment, assign initial ownership and flag questions that need confirmation from legal counsel or the competent authority.
NIS2 Gap Analysis and Maturity Review
Compare existing governance, technical and operational controls, documentation and evidence with applicable NIS2 requirements. Record gaps consistently, distinguish missing design from weak execution, and rate findings by security risk, regulatory relevance, dependency and implementation effort.
Governance and Cybersecurity Risk Management
Establish accountable owners, management oversight, risk assessment and treatment practices, control governance, reporting and training expectations. Connect NIS2 obligations with the organisation’s existing risk, information security management system (ISMS), audit and security-management processes instead of creating a separate compliance silo.
Incident, Continuity and Supply-Chain Readiness
Assess incident escalation and notification workflows, crisis roles, business continuity and disaster recovery arrangements, critical suppliers and security dependencies. Identify practical improvements to reporting inputs, exercises, supplier assurance and resilience of essential services.
Remediation Roadmap and Evidence Framework
Turn findings into a sequenced implementation plan with actions, owners, dependencies and acceptance criteria. Define the policies, procedures, control changes, records and management reports needed to demonstrate progress, then reassess priority areas as remediation is completed.
How We Deliver NIS2 Compliance Support
01
NIS2 and GRC Experts for Your Team
Add a NIS2 compliance consultant, GRC specialist, cybersecurity risk manager, ISMS expert or security architect to your existing programme. Our specialists can lead a defined workstream, interpret requirements, review controls, coordinate evidence and support internal owners when capability or delivery capacity is limited.
02
End-to-End NIS2 Readiness Project
Run a structured project from applicability and scope through NIS2 gap analysis, executive readout and a prioritised remediation roadmap. Depending on the agreed scope, delivery can include governance design, policies and procedures, control implementation support, incident and continuity workshops, supplier-risk work and evidence preparation.
03
Ongoing NIS2 Compliance Support
Maintain momentum after the initial assessment through recurring advisory sessions, remediation tracking, policy and control reviews, evidence updates, supplier assessments, exercises and management reporting. The service can also help evaluate changes in national guidance, business scope, systems and dependencies that affect the readiness programme.

Why Choose B2B Cyber for NIS2 Readiness
Generic regulatory summaries do not show whether NIS2 applies to a specific legal entity, how national rules affect its obligations or which controls actually need to change. Effective readiness requires regulatory interpretation, cybersecurity risk expertise, operational design, evidence and programme delivery to work together.
NIS2 Expertise Connected to Security Operations
We combine NIS2 and GRC knowledge with risk, architecture, incident response, continuity and supplier-security expertise, so recommendations can be implemented in real environments.
A Delivery Model Matched to Your Capacity
Use one specialist, a multidisciplinary project team or recurring support. The engagement can expand from scope assessment to remediation and ongoing reviews.
Usable Outputs and Implementation Support
We produce a gap register, control mapping, risk-based roadmap, policies, procedures, evidence expectations and management reporting, then support owners through implementation.
Continuity Beyond the Initial Assessment
Maintain momentum through recurring reviews, evidence maintenance and targeted expertise, while scaling the programme across entities, locations or business services.

NIS2 Compliance and Readiness FAQ
How is the NIS2 gap analysis and readiness assessment performed?
The assessment normally combines a scoping session, document review, interviews or workshops, evidence sampling and control mapping. Useful inputs include service and asset maps, risk registers, security policies, incident and continuity plans, supplier information, audit results and current remediation work. Findings are validated with owners before the final readout.
What deliverables will we receive, and can B2B Cyber support NIS2 implementation?
Deliverables can include a documented scope and applicability assessment, a NIS2 gap register, control mapping, an executive summary, a prioritised roadmap, ownership and evidence expectations. B2B Cyber can then support policy and procedure development, control design, workshops, exercises, remediation governance and progress verification.
Does NIS2 require a certification, and what happens after the assessment?
NIS2 is a directive, not a certification standard like ISO/IEC 27001, and it does not create a universal NIS2 certificate. Obligations arise through applicable national law and may be subject to supervision or audit; a consultancy assessment does not certify compliance. Ongoing support can cover remediation tracking, evidence maintenance, periodic reviews, exercises, supplier checks and updates when the organisation or requirements change.
