We help your energy company meet new cyber security challenges

In August 2018, a new and important legislation came into force based on the EU-directive NIS (Network and Information Security). The law pushes high demands on IT security for energy companies. Lack of compliance can lead to serious consequences for companies, for example getting withdrawn of the market. This means that vulnerability assessment becomes more or less a requirement. This new legislation is placed on top of the data protection regulation (GDPR) also places increased demands on IT security.
