Who it’s for

Complass for operators of IT and OT systems

You operate production plants, networks, data centres or digital services and fall under NIS2, or your customers ask for evidence of your information security. Complass guides you from the first overview to audit-ready evidence, even without experts in-house.

General information, not legal advice. This page summarises the legal position in simplified form and does not replace an assessment of your individual case. The wording of the laws and standards is authoritative.

Sectors

Manufacturing and process industry Focus area

You structure production networks, control systems and remote maintenance access with zones and conduits per IEC 62443, linked to your ISMS.

IT service providers and managed services

Managed services and data centres are NIS2 sectors of their own. Complass covers your own operation. If you look after customers, also read the page for consultants and IT service providers.

Health

Hospitals and other healthcare entities clarify whether they are covered, implement the minimum measures and report incidents on time. Large hospitals are often critical infrastructure operators.

Automotive suppliers

You build an ISMS per ISO 27001 and answer your customers’ requirements. You prepare for the TISAX assessment with the TISAX framework.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know whether my company falls under NIS2?

What matters is your sector, your company size and in some cases the type of service you provide. The Complass applicability check asks about these points and shows whether you count as an important or essential entity. The result does not replace legal advice, but gives you a reliable first assessment.

Do we need ISO 27001 certification to meet NIS2?

No. NIS2 does not require certification. ISO 27001 is, however, a proven framework for implementing and evidencing the measures under Section 30 BSIG in a structured way. In Complass you build both in one programme.

We also run OT. Is a classic ISMS enough?

For production plants and control systems, IEC 62443 adds OT-specific requirements to the ISMS: system under consideration, zones and conduits, and security levels. Complass connects both, so your OT assets appear in the same risk register as your IT.
