The point: CGI and Heuking combine legal compliance consulting with technical implementation to translate regulatory requirements such as NIS2 into secure, workable systems.
CGI and the business law firm Heuking are partnering to support public authorities and enterprises in implementing regulatory requirements such as the NIS2 Directive. The offering combines legal advice with technical implementation of security measures.
The partnership addresses a central challenge for CISOs and governance leaders: Regulatory requirements such as the European NIS2 Directive, critical infrastructure requirements, data protection and export controls require not only legal assessment but also immediate technical and organizational implementation. CGI brings IT consulting and experience in security-critical solutions – the company works for the Bundeswehr and NATO. Heuking complements this with legal expertise in commercial, public procurement, data protection and export control law, as well as industry know-how from aviation and defense.
The offering aims to close the gap between compliance requirements and practical feasibility. Rather than treating legal requirements and technical measures in isolation, both areas should be integrated from analysis through implementation. As Dr. Thomas Jansen of Heuking describes it, compliance and resilience require “a interplay of legal classification and technological implementation”.
The target audience comprises public authorities, critical infrastructure operators, and organizations in security-relevant sectors that fall under stricter regulatory requirements – particularly through NIS2 and geopolitical risks in supply chains as well as rising cyber threats.
