Key point: According to Security-Insider, many companies are struggling to implement NIS2’s documentation and reporting requirements in practice.
According to a report by Security-Insider, the documentation and reporting obligations required by NIS2 are causing considerable difficulties for many companies. For security officers, this means additional organizational effort in implementing the directive.
The NIS2 Directive obliges affected companies to comprehensively document their security measures and to report security-relevant incidents within specified deadlines. According to Security-Insider, it is precisely these two requirement areas that are causing problems for many organizations in practical implementation.
This is relevant for CISOs insofar as NIS2 requires not only technical protective measures but also robust processes for evidence gathering and incident reporting. Missing or inadequate documentation can, in an actual incident, both hinder timely reporting and lead to objections during supervisory audits.
In practice, this means that security officers should establish and regularly test internal procedures for recording incidents, tracking measures, and creating audit-proof evidence early on, in order to be able to meet the statutory deadlines in the event of an incident.
