With the implementation of the European NIS2 Directive, Austrian companies – particularly those in the financial services, energy and technology sectors – are facing new challenges in information security. In addition to technical measures, the directive places greater emphasis on the management of human risks.
Validato, a company specialising in compliance and security, supports organisations with integrated Human Risk Management (HRM) based on ISO 27001 and fully NIS2-compliant. The approach combines structured background checks, regular re-screenings and comprehensive audit documentation to identify risks in the personnel area at an early stage and reduce them sustainably.
Practical implementation of NIS2 requirements
Validato enables the practical implementation of NIS2 cyber security and compliance requirements – from risk assessment and documentation to audit preparation. The system offers companies the opportunity to continuously review security standards and provide verifiable evidence of compliance with regulatory requirements.
‘Human risk management is no longer an add-on, but a core task in the context of cyber security,’ emphasises Marti from Validato. ‘Especially in regulated areas such as financial services or energy, people are crucial to the security chain.’
Validato already works with organisations that are subject to supervision by the FMA or energy authorities and are adapting their processes in recruiting, onboarding and throughout the entire employment relationship to the new security requirements.
Focus on data protection and compliance
The Validato platform is operated in a secure cloud infrastructure in Switzerland and the EU. This enables the company to guarantee GDPR-compliant data processing and the highest level of protection for sensitive HR information – a key factor in implementing NIS2 requirements in HR and security processes.
