NIS2 is the EU's cybersecurity law for medium and large companies in important sectors. If you're in scope, your management is personally accountable for having a real security program — not just antivirus.
NIS2 is about risk management, incident handling, business continuity, supply-chain security, vulnerability management, access control, logging, evidence and management accountability. Buying endpoint protection alone is not enough.
Each requirement of the chosen framework, scored against each tool. Coverage is editorial — based on public documentation, vendor demos and user reports.
