NIS2 (Network and Information Security Directive 2) is an EU cybersecurity law that came into force in 2024-2026. It requires companies in 18 critical sectors (energy, transport, health, digital infrastructure, manufacturing, and more) with 50+ employees or €10M+ turnover to implement cybersecurity risk management, incident reporting within 24 hours, and supply chain security. Board members are personally liable for non-compliance.

A virtual CISO that works 24/7 — for a fraction of the cost
Automatically evaluates your organisation against all 10 categories of NIS2 Article 21. Identifies gaps, prioritises risks, and tells you exactly what to fix.
Maintains a living risk register with ownership, remediation plans, and audit trail. Proves to regulators that your management body governs risk (Art. 20).
Generates executive reports in plain language — not technical jargon. Your board sees compliance status, risk trends, and recommended actions.
Maps controls to NIS2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and DORA simultaneously. One platform, multiple compliance needs covered.
Our Verifiable Reasoning Architecture uses mathematical proof — not checklists — to demonstrate compliance. AI translates, logic solvers verify.
EU-only hosting (Germany/Ireland). Per-tenant encryption. Zero-access architecture. Your data never leaves Europe, never touches US jurisdiction.

Questions we hear from SME leaders
You can ask AI to generate a gap assessment document. Many companies do. But when the auditor arrives, they won't ask for a document — they'll ask for evidence.
Specifically:
AI generates documents. CloudSentinel manages compliance.
If you have 50+ employees or €10M+ turnover and operate in one of 18 NIS2 sectors — you're in scope. There is no "too small" exemption. And even if you're below the threshold, your larger customers may require proof of your security posture as part of their supply chain obligations (Art. 21).
Good — but NIS2 requires your management body to approve and oversee cybersecurity measures (Art. 20). Delegating to an IT provider doesn't remove board liability. CloudSentinel gives your board visibility into what your IT provider is doing — and proof that governance is happening.
Vanta and Drata are excellent for SOC2 audit preparation. But they're American companies (CLOUD Act applies), NIS2 was added as an afterthought, and pricing starts at €7,000-10,000/year. CloudSentinel is European, NIS2-native from day one, and built specifically for the budget and needs of EU SMEs.
We are selecting 5-10 European SMEs for our free pilot. You get full platform access, a personalised NIS2 gap report, and a seat at the table shaping the product.
