01The requirement

NIS2 Raises the Bar

The NIS2 Directive significantly expands the scope and severity of cybersecurity obligations across essential and important entities in the EU and UK.

This is a mapping, not a certification claim. Firevault holds Cyber Essentials Plus. Everything else on this page is stated as alignment: Offline Secure Storage® produces evidence you can point at in your own submission, assessment or audit.
