NIS2 & DORA Compliance Audit: Protect your business and board from regulatory liability
A professional gap analysis for “Essential” and “Important” entities. Prepare for strict incident reporting timelines, manage supply chain risks, and avoid draconian fines.
The urgency: why this audit cannot wait
Compliance is no longer just an IT checkbox; it is a Board-level imperative.
Personal Liability for Leadership
Under NIS2, Board members can be held personally liable for cybersecurity negligence. In severe cases, this can include suspension from management duties.
The 24-Hour "Early Warning" Trap
DORA and NIS2 require reporting significant incidents within 24 hours. Do your current SIEM and internal processes support this speed, or will you miss the window?
Supply Chain Vulnerability
You are now legally responsible for the security posture of your ICT vendors8. If a vendor breaches, you pay the price.
Draconian Financial Penalties
Non-compliance isn’t cheap. Fines can reach up to 10 million EUR or 2% of global annual turnover.
We bridge the difficult gap between legal requirements (NIS2 Art. 21 / DORA Art. 6-16) and your actual technical configuration.
Step 1: Regulatory gap analysis
- We map your current organizational status against the specific articles of NIS2 and DORA. We verify your classification (Essential vs. Important entity) to determine your exact obligations.
Step 2: Technical verification (Azure & M365)
- Policy documents aren’t enough. We perform a technical audit of your Azure and Microsoft 365 environments—checking Microsoft Defender, Backup, and Sentinel settings against strict compliance controls.
Step 3: Operational Resilience & BCP
- Compliance requires continuity. We evaluate your Business Continuity Plans (BCP) and Disaster Recovery (DR) strategies. For DORA clients, we assess readiness for Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT).
Step 4: Supply Chain audit
- We assess your Vendor Risk Management processes to ensure you are correctly verifying the security of your third-party ICT providers.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you operate in a critical sector (Energy, Transport, Health, Banking, Digital Infrastructure) and meet specific size criteria, yes. We help you verify your exact classification (Essential vs. Important entity) as the first step of the audit.
ISO 27001 is a great foundation, getting you roughly 70% of the way there. However, NIS2 and DORA have specific, stricter requirements regarding incident reporting timelines (24 hours) and supply chain security that ISO does not strictly mandate. We focus specifically on bridging that gap.
No. The “Shared Responsibility Model” applies. Microsoft secures the cloud infrastructure, but you are legally responsible for securing what is in the cloud (your data, identities, and apps)26. Our audit covers your half of the responsibility.
Beyond the financial fines (up to 2% of global turnover), top management can face personal liability. This means Board members can be held individually accountable for failing to oversee cybersecurity measures, potentially leading to suspension from their roles.
Yes. The Supply Chain Audit module of our engagement specifically assesses how you verify and manage your ICT vendors, which is a core pillar of the DORA regulation.
