NIS 2 Compliance Consulting
How can companies across different sectors prepare to comply with the most comprehensive EU cybersecurity legislation?
Alter Solutions can provide all the useful information and services regarding the NIS 2 Directive.
What is the NIS 2 Directive?
NIS 2 is an EU-wide legislation on cybersecurity with two main objectives:
- To establish guidelines for organisations that provide essential and important services, so they know how to react in the event of a cyber threat.
- To improve collaboration between EU member states on cybersecurity matters.
By 17th October 2024, it is mandatory that EU members ensure compliance with the NIS 2 measures, in order to avoid unnecessary fines. Now is the time for companies to prepare for NIS 2.

NIS 2 compliance with Alter Solutions
We identify the essential services and processes of your company, guaranteeing the flawless implementation of all NIS 2 measures. How?
Analysis and diagnosis
We can support you from the analysis phase onwards, identifying the extent to which your company is affected by NIS 2.
At the end of this phase, we will be able to define your compliance roadmap.
Roadmap implementation
With a deep understanding of your company's security needs, we can then support you in the actual implementation of the various security measures.
Our experts can be involved to varying degrees: either as the real drivers of compliance, or as backup for your teams already in place.
We can also intervene purely and simply as auditors to come and assess your compliance projects that are already underway.
Regular monitoring
As compliance is an ongoing process, we offer to support you after NIS 2 compliance has been achieved, to ensure that the measures in place are sustainable and, if necessary, adjust them.
Our dedicated team is here to provide you with continuous support for this ongoing task, namely by:
- ensuring that corrective measures are properly implemented.
- conducting regular compliance audits.
Audit & Pentesting
Why act now?
The sooner your company acts towards ensuring NIS 2 compliance, the better. Here's why:
Avoid severe penalties and fines
By not complying with the NIS 2 Directive, essential entities can face fines of up to €10 million or at least 2% of their total annual worldwide turnover. Important entities’ fines can go as high as €7 million or at least 1.4% of their total annual worldwide turnover.
Ensure a stronger security posture
Cyber attacks are increasing in number and sophistication, which means having a robust cybersecurity strategy in place is crucial for any organisation that wants to protect their network, infrastructure and data.
Protect your operations
By preparing in advance to deal with cyber threats that may have a devastating effect on your company’s business and infrastructure, you can minimise that impact and make sure your day-to-day operations are not compromised.
Keep in mind...
Organisations with the ISO 27001 certification might be closer to compliance with NIS 2 – as well as those already compliant with the NIS 1 measures – but should remain attentive to the evolving national requirements to ensure full alignment.
