Endian solutions for
NIS2 Compliance
The NIS2 Directive has been transposed into national law across EU member states and applies to thousands of organizations in critical sectors. Non-compliance risks fines of up to 10 million euros. The Endian Secure Digital Platform helps you meet the core technical requirements of NIS2 in a systematic and auditable way.
What does NIS2 require?
Network security
Analyze risks and report incidents
Organizations must conduct risk analysis, document security concepts and report security incidents to the relevant authority within 24 hours. Without a structured security concept, no other measure has a solid foundation. The Endian Secure Digital Platform supports network monitoring, anomaly detection and audit-ready logging that meets NIS2 incident reporting requirements.
Access control
Verify and document every access
NIS2 mandates the zero-trust principle, multi-factor authentication and role-based access rights. Every access to critical systems must be logged. Endian Switchboard implements exactly these requirements: each remote session is individually authorized, fully recorded and centrally managed. Users receive only the permissions their role requires.
Network segmentation
Clearly separate IT and OT environments
NIS2 requires the separation and protection of IT and OT networks, particularly in industrial environments. Endian 4i Security Gateways divide networks into isolated segments and prevent malware from spreading uncontrolled. A successful attack on one segment stays contained, keeping critical assets protected.
Encryption
Secure all data in transit and at rest
All data transmissions, both internal and external, must be encrypted. The Endian Secure Digital Platform secures every connection through encrypted VPN tunnels. The integrity of communication between systems, users and the platform is end-to-end guaranteed and meets NIS2 requirements for secure data communication.
Supply chain security
Extend security to third-party providers
Under NIS2, organizations are also liable for security risks from third-party providers. External service providers and technicians must be contractually secured and technically controlled. With Endian Switchboard, access rights for external users can be granted granularly, time-limited and fully logged. You retain control even during third-party maintenance.
Digital Sovereignty
You decide where your data lives
Digital sovereignty means staying in control: of your data, your infrastructure, and who can access it. Endian is headquartered in Bolzano, South Tyrol, and develops its products in Europe. The Secure Digital Platform can be deployed entirely on-premises, with no dependency on external cloud services. For critical infrastructure, that is not a nice-to-have; it is a requirement.
