New Whitepaper: NIS2 Compliance for SAP Solutions
The Network and Information Security (NIS2) Directive takes effect on October 17 and imposes significant requirements on organizations for cybersecurity and incident reporting. NIS2 mandates strict standards for cybersecurity and incident reporting for organizations that are based in the European Union or provide services within the EU. It is targeted at essential and important organizations in specific sectors considered part of the supply chain for critical infrastructure in member states.
The Directive includes requirements for protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data in network and information systems against cyber threats, as well as detecting and reporting significant security incidents within prescribed time frames. This includes data and incidents impacting business-critical SAP solutions.
The newly-released whitepaper from Layer Seven Security simplifies the path to NIS2 compliance by providing guidance for complying with the Directive for SAP solutions. This includes sources for hardening standards to comply with cybersecurity requirements, and threat detection and response mechanisms to comply with the incident reporting requirements of the Directive. The guidance includes specific recommendations for solutions in SAP RISE.
