Control coverage
Gap assessment
Management oversight

A practical way to move forward

Know the work. See the progress.

One workspace for the requirements, the people doing the work and the records behind your next review.

Control coverage

Give the requirements a working home.

Organise the security measures you are working on, review their status and link the supporting evidence. Make it easier to see where implementation still needs attention.

NIS2 control library
Requirement-level status and evidence

Gap assessment

Agree on the next piece of work.

Assess your current position and use the results to guide remediation. Keep the discussion focused on specific gaps and the people who can close them.

Structured gap assessments
Remediation planning and follow-up

Management oversight

Keep leadership part of the process.

Track management training, security KPIs and incident work alongside your controls. Give reviewers a more complete view than a single readiness score.

The detail behind the dashboard

Give every review a better starting point.

Move from a progress summary to the records that support it. Keep the next conversation focused on the work that needs attention.

NIS2 gap assessment: review coverage and areas for improvement.Open full size

Start with the right scope

For security leaders coordinating NIS2 work across the business.

NIS2 covers specified sectors and categories of entity. Applicability, supervision and reporting depend on the national law that implements the directive, so start with your sector, country and entity status.

A row means the two requirements cover the same ground, so one implementation and one set of evidence can usually serve both. It does not mean satisfying one certifies the other: each framework keeps its own scope, wording and assessment, and some requirements have no counterpart at all. Treat this as a starting map for planning, then confirm each row against the requirement text.

A few useful answers.

Want to discuss your framework and current process?

Talk it through with us

Can Venvera determine whether NIS2 applies to us?

The workspace helps organise your NIS2 programme. Your team should confirm scope and obligations against the applicable national law, sector rules and competent authority guidance.

Does a good dashboard score prove NIS2 compliance?

A score summarises the information recorded in your workspace. It helps you prioritise work; it does not replace implementation, management oversight or the assessment of your competent authority.

Can we use our existing evidence?

Yes. Bring your policies and supporting evidence into Venvera and link them to the relevant controls. Cross-framework mappings help you identify reusable work; your team still reviews whether the evidence meets each requirement.

What is included in the trial?

The 14-day Professional trial includes up to five frameworks and unlimited users, with no credit card required. You can explore the controls, assess gaps and organise your compliance work. Framework modules are on paid plans; compare plans for feature availability.
