NIS2 Directive Compliance: The Biggest Difference

The NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/2555) requires organisations to implement cybersecurity measures and demonstrate compliance. Lupasafe maps training and monitoring directly to these requirements — Phished does not.

Article 21(2)(g): Cybersecurity Training & Awareness

NIS2 requires demonstrable cybersecurity education for both management and employees. Lupasafe delivers this through:

Integrated e-learning with role-specific modules (management, IT, end-users)
NIS2 role designation: security officer, incident manager, data protection officer
Automated annual planning and compliance reporting as audit evidence

Phished: no NIS2 compliance mapping, no role-specific NIS2 modules, no compliance documentation.

Article 21(2)(c): Business Continuity & Remote Working

NIS2 requires policies and training for secure remote working. Lupasafe delivers this through:

Dedicated e-learning module “Remote Working” (mapped to ISO 27001 A.6.7)
Endpoint compliance monitoring across home workstations (Mac/Linux/Windows)
Automated reporting as evidence for auditors

Phished: no dedicated remote working module, no endpoint monitoring, no NIS2 Article 21 mapping.
