The EU’s NIS2 Directive sets a new standard for cybersecurity and operational resilience across both public and private sectors. For many organizations, it represents a shift from reactive security to continuous compliance, ensuring that essential and important entities maintain a high level of protection for their networks and information systems. This creates a dual challenge. Your leadership needs strategic assurance (proven compliance, risk management), while your IT teams need specific technical proof (DMARC, DANE, MFA). At IceWarp, we understand that compliance should not come at the cost of collaboration. Our cloud platform is designed to solve both challenges, providing a secure, transparent, and resilient environment that naturally supports NIS2 compliance from the boardroom to the server room.

Strategic Assurance for Management & Auditors

For leadership, NIS2 is about risk management, resilience, and trust in the supply chain. We provide the high-level assurance and certified proof you need.Audit and ComplianceIceWarp holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification and an independent SOC 2 Type II audit report. This confirms our adherence to internationally recognized standards for security and risk management. Customers can leverage this documentation as part of their own compliance evidence and supply chain due diligence under NIS2.Service Continuity and ResilienceThe platform’s geographically distributed infrastructure and redundant architecture ensure uninterrupted operation. Automated backups, comprehensive Disaster Recovery (DR), and Business Continuity Plans (BCP) help our customers maintain critical business operations under any circumstances.Incident Detection and ResponseReal-time monitoring and automated response procedures help detect, isolate, and mitigate security incidents. Defined SLA parameters guarantee service availability and fast, coordinated recovery, supporting NIS2 requirements for incident handling and reporting.Vulnerability Management and UpdatesIceWarp continuously scans and tests its environment through internal audits, automated vulnerability scans, and penetration testing. Identified issues are addressed immediately through updates and security patches to maintain the ongoing integrity of the platform.Secure Data LocalizationCustomers can choose from IceWarp’s European data centers (in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Italy) or the USA.

IceWarp provides transparent communication through its help desk, knowledge base, and customer alerts.

Technical Implementation for IT & Security Teams

For technical teams, compliance isn’t an abstract concept; it’s a specific checklist. Here’s how IceWarp provides the granular controls your IT admins need to implement.Access Control and AuthenticationWe enforce strict Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and granular, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). These measures ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive information, supporting the “principle of least privilege” and identity verification as defined in NIS2 Article 21.Data Protection and EncryptionAll data in transit is protected by strong encryption, enforcing STARTTLS and modern protocols like TLSv1.2 and newer. This is the practical answer to ensuring email communication confidentiality and integrity.Advanced Email AuthenticationThis is a critical, technical requirement for NIS2. IceWarp provides robust, multi-domain support for:We also support advanced hardening features, such as DNSSEC validation and DANE (TLSA), which are crucial for preventing sophisticated email spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks.Granular Threat ProtectionIceWarp security isn’t just a simple filter. We provide the deep, technical controls needed to stop modern threats, including:Real-time malware and antivirus scanning
