Who it’s for

Complass for management

You run the company and are responsible for cybersecurity. NIS2 makes this explicit: management approves the measures, supervises their implementation and is liable. Complass shows you the status in plain terms, without you having to know every requirement yourself.

Overview of frameworks, tasks and deadlines in Complass (sample project)

The challenge

Personal responsibility

The duties lie with management itself and cannot be fully handed over to IT or service providers.

Little overview

Reports from IT and departments are technical, scattered and hard to compare. Where does the company really stand?

Evidencing decisions

Who approved which measure when, and which risk is knowingly accepted, has to be provable later.

What is required of management

For entities that fall under NIS2, the law names management explicitly:

Frequently asked questions

Do we as management need specialist knowledge?

You need to be able to assess risks and measures, which is why the law requires regular training. Information security and IT handle the detailed implementation; Complass presents the status to you in plain terms.

Does this also apply if we do not fall under NIS2?

The duties under Section 38 BSIG apply to entities under NIS2. Regardless of this, customers, insurers and banks increasingly ask for evidence. The free check shows whether NIS2 applies to you.
