Perium and the NIS2 Supply Chain

Easily achieve NIS2 compliance with Perium and the NIS2 Supply Chain

Introduction

The NIS2 Directive introduces new obligations for organizations in critical sectors and their suppliers. The goal? To enhance cybersecurity within the European Union. But what does this mean for your organization? Whether you’re directly subject to NIS2 or part of a supply chain, complying with this directive can be complex and time-consuming. Spreadsheets just won’t cut it anymore. Fortunately, there’s a smart solution: Perium and the NIS2 Supply Chain (formerly the NIS2 Quality Mark).

What is the NIS2 Supply Chain?

The NIS2 Supply Chain is specifically designed for organizations that supply to organizations that are NIS2 obligated. It thus provides a solution for companies that are not directly subject to NIS2 themselves, but are seen as a potential risk in the chain. They may therefore still have to deal with the law through their major customers.

The NIS2 Supply Chain was developed by leading industry associations and cybersecurity experts, in collaboration with the Together Digitally Secure Foundation. This standard is specifically designed to help organizations comply with NIS2 in a scalable and practical way. Where traditional standards like ISO27001 are often too onerous and unnecessarily complex for smaller companies, the NIS2 Supply Chain offers a growth model that fits your position in the chain.

This NIS2 mark helps organizations easily meet European NIS2 requirements, strengthen their digital security and remain a trusted partner in the supply chain.

Perium works closely with the Samen Digitaal Veilig Foundation and offers the NIS2 Supply Chain as a standard feature on the Perium platform.

Why the NIS2 Supply Chain?

But why is this seal of approval so interesting for your organization? Here are a few key reasons:

• As a supplier, the NIS2 seal of approval shows your customers that information security is demonstrably in order and your organization complies with the law.
• Appropriate for your organization: Whether you are a small IT company or a large supplier, the standardization is flexible and scalable. It takes into account the specific role your organization plays in the supply chain. No unnecessary work!
• Prevent Disruption: The NIS2 Supply Chain prevents smaller organizations from being unnecessarily burdened with onerous requirements. This means you can continue to operate as usual without complicated and expensive certifications that are not directly relevant.
• Cooperation and reliability: By achieving the seal of approval, you show that your organization meets the latest cybersecurity standards. This not only increases your own reliability, but also strengthens cooperation within the chain.

The NIS2 Supply Chain consists of three levels (SC10, SC20, SC30) so you can always choose an appropriate seal of approval.
