Framework guide

NIS2, explained simply

NIS2 is the European Union’s horizontal cybersecurity law. Unlike a standard, it is binding — but it is a directive, so it reaches you through your country’s transposition law rather than directly, and it applies only to entities inside its scope.

Who is in scope

Essential and important entities in the sectors listed in the directive’s annexes, subject to size thresholds with exceptions. Whether you are in scope is a legal question decided under your national transposition law — not something software can determine for you. Many companies are pulled in indirectly, as suppliers to an entity that is in scope.

What evidence can prove — and what it can’t

We would rather tell you this up front than let a dashboard imply more certainty than it has.

Where Tawsik fits

Tawsik measures NIS2 readiness from your self-assessment and your evidence. It never decides that the directive applies to you, and it never declares you compliant — that determination belongs to your national authority. What it gives you is an honest picture of which risk-management measures you can evidence today, and which you cannot.

Tawsik is not a certification body or an auditor.

One set of evidence, every framework

Tawsik maps one canonical control to every framework that asks for it, so a proof you gather once counts everywhere it applies.
