Make your contracts and suppliers NIS-2 compliant
The Cybersecurity Act is coming. GRIP helps healthcare, education, and public sector organizations make their contracts and suppliers NIS-2 compliant, step by step — at your own pace.
Want to understand what NIS-2 requires from your supplier contracts? Read the full explanation: NIS-2 and contract management: control over your supplier risks.
What the law requires — and where GRIP helps
Supply chain security (art. 21)
Document security agreements per supplier: incident reporting obligations, audit rights, and minimum security policies. We make it workable.
Incident reporting obligation (art. 23)
Security incidents must be reported within 24 hours (early warning), 72 hours (update), and 1 month (final report) to CSIRT. GRIP gives you the structure to meet those deadlines with ease.
Risk management per supplier
A current risk register per supplier, with classification and mitigating measures. In GRIP you maintain that without extra spreadsheets.
Evidence for the regulator
During an inspection by IGJ or NCSC you quickly need a complete compliance file. GRIP generates that with one click — everything in one place.

Frequently asked questions about NIS-2 and GRIP
Healthcare (cure & care), higher education, vocational education, municipalities, provinces, and critical infrastructure (energy, water, transport) are almost all covered by the Cybersecurity Act. Organizations with 50+ employees or more than €10M turnover are obligated entities. With 250+ employees or more than €50M turnover you are an “essential entity” and stricter supervision applies. Unsure? Take the scan — it gives you clarity in 2 minutes.
The expectation is Q2 2026. There is no transition period, so it pays to start now without rush. Organizations that bring their contracts and suppliers in order step by step will not face a last-minute scramble.
GRIP covers the contractual foundation of NIS-2: supplier register, risk register, security clauses, audit trail, incident registration, and regulator reporting. GRIP does not cover SIEM/logging tooling, MFA implementation, or security awareness training — for those you work with your IT partners. GRIP and your IT security partner complement each other.
NIS-2 applies broadly to critical sectors (healthcare, education, energy, etc.). DORA focuses specifically on the financial sector (banks, insurers, fintech). There is overlap in supply chain security requirements, but DORA imposes additional requirements on ICT risk management in finance.
Yes. GRIP is ISO 27001:2022 certified. Our internal controls for ICT supply chain management (A.5.21) and legal and contractual requirements (A.5.31) map one-to-one onto NIS-2 article 21. We conduct an annual external pen-test and store all data within Europe.
GRIP onboarding takes an average of 4 to 6 weeks. In the first week you already have the basic registration in order: suppliers, contracts, and responsible owners. After that you build the rest of the NIS-2 foundation step by step — risk register, security clauses, and incident process. This is very achievable before Q2 2026 if you start now.
Yes. GRIP generates with one click a complete report per contract or supplier: risk classification, all contract changes with approval history, security clauses, registered incidents, and linked documents. Ready to present to IGJ or NCSC.
