Average NIS2 programme delivery to conformity
Does your Indian IT, digital infrastructure, or managed services company supply essential or important EU entities? NIS2 is now national law across the EU — and your contracts depend on it. Vista InfoSec helps Indian companies achieve full NIS2 compliance quickly and cost-effectively.
Our teams across the US, UK, Singapore, and India support clients through every timezone and regulatory context.
The NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/2555) is the European Union’s upgraded and significantly expanded cybersecurity framework for network and information systems security. It replaces the original NIS Directive and became binding law across all EU member states by October 2024.
NIS2 dramatically expands the number of organisations in scope — covering 18 critical sectors — and for the first time imposes direct obligations on supply chain providers, including technology vendors, managed service providers, and digital infrastructure companies.
If your Indian company provides IT services, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, software development, or managed services to any EU-regulated essential or important entity, you may carry direct NIS2 compliance obligations — or face commercial pressure from EU clients who must demonstrate their supply chain is secure.
Vista InfoSec combines deep EU regulatory expertise — across GDPR, NIS1, NIS2, DORA, and ISO 27001 — with an India-based team that understands the commercial realities and operational constraints of Indian IT companies serving EU clients.
Our Mumbai-headquartered team combines EU regulatory certification with IST working hours, Indian pricing, and a deep understanding of the Indian IT delivery model.
Our team holds CISA, CISSP, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, CEH, and GDPR DPO certifications. We don’t just advise — we have delivered NIS2, GDPR, and ISO 27001 programmes across 30+ countries.

NIS2’s supply chain provisions create direct and indirect compliance obligations for Indian companies across multiple technology verticals.
Indian MSSPs, IT outsourcing firms, and system integrators whose EU clients classify them as critical ICT suppliers must satisfy NIS2 security requirements as part of their client’s supply chain compliance.
Cloud service providers, SaaS platforms, and data centre operators serving EU essential or important entities are explicitly listed as Digital Infrastructure providers under NIS2 — making them directly in scope.
Indian cybersecurity firms, SOC-as-a-service providers, and vulnerability management companies providing services to EU healthcare, energy, banking, or transport clients are in scope under ICT services.
Indian software companies whose products are embedded in EU critical infrastructure, healthcare systems, banking platforms, or energy management systems face NIS2 supply chain security requirements from EU clients.
Indian companies providing hospital information systems, medical device software, telemedicine platforms, or health data analytics to EU healthcare providers are now directly in scope as NIS2’s healthcare sector has been significantly expanded.
Indian data analytics firms, AI/ML service providers, and research organisations providing services to EU entities in critical sectors must demonstrate cybersecurity controls aligned with NIS2 requirements.
From initial exposure assessment to full compliance audit — we cover the complete NIS2 journey for Indian companies of all sizes.

NIS2 introduces the most stringent cybersecurity enforcement regime the EU has ever implemented — including personal liability for executives. The commercial risk to Indian companies is as significant as the regulatory risk.
Common questions from Indian companies navigating NIS2 for the first time.
Yes — in two ways. First, Digital Infrastructure and ICT service providers (like cloud companies and MSSPs) who provide services to EU-based entities are directly in scope regardless of where they're headquartered. Second, Indian companies that supply essential NIS2-regulated EU entities face supply chain compliance pressure — EU clients are legally required to assess and manage the security of their suppliers. Both paths can require Indian companies to demonstrate NIS2-aligned security controls.
Essential entities (e.g. energy, banking, health, water, transport, digital infrastructure) face the most stringent requirements — proactive supervision, higher fines (€10M / 2%), and stricter obligations. Important entities (e.g. postal services, waste management, manufacturing, food, digital providers) face somewhat lighter oversight and lower maximum fines (€7M / 1.4%). Indian companies are most commonly affected as either Digital Infrastructure providers (directly in scope as Essential or Important) or as supply chain vendors to EU essential entities.
For companies with ISO 27001 or reasonable existing security controls: 8–14 weeks for full compliance readiness. For companies starting from low security maturity: 16–24 weeks. The gap assessment (2–3 weeks) will give you a precise picture. Vista InfoSec's fast-track programme for EU client questionnaire responses can produce a defensible evidence pack in as little as 4 weeks for companies needing urgent support.
Each EU member state has designated a competent authority responsible for NIS2 enforcement within their jurisdiction. For Indian companies directly in scope, the relevant authority is in the EU member state where their service is registered or primarily provided. Enforcement includes proactive on-site inspections, targeted audits triggered by incidents, regulatory questionnaires, and periodic reporting requirements. Enforcement intensity varies by member state — Germany, Netherlands, and France are among the most active.
ISO 27001 is an excellent foundation and significantly reduces NIS2 remediation effort — but it does not equal NIS2 compliance. Key NIS2-specific requirements that go beyond ISO 27001 include: the mandatory 3-stage incident reporting timelines (24h/72h/1 month), the specific supply chain security provisions, the management personal liability governance model, and mandatory MFA. Vista InfoSec can run an ISO-to-NIS2 delta assessment that minimises duplication of effort.
Don't panic — but do act quickly. EU clients are legally required to complete supply chain assessments and will escalate if responses are delayed or inadequate. Vista InfoSec has a dedicated NIS2 Vendor Response Service: we review the questionnaire, assess your current security controls against each question, identify gaps, prioritise rapid remediation, and help you prepare evidence-backed answers. We've completed this for multiple Indian clients in 3–6 weeks.
NIS2 and DORA are separate regulations with different scopes. NIS2 covers cybersecurity across 18 critical sectors broadly. DORA is specific to financial services and is more prescriptive. For financial sector clients, DORA takes precedence over NIS2 (lex specialis). Indian IT companies serving EU clients may need both — DORA if clients are financial institutions, NIS2 if clients are in energy, health, transport, or other NIS2 sectors. Vista InfoSec can advise on an efficient dual-compliance path that avoids duplicating effort.
We use fixed-scope, fixed-fee engagements — no open-ended billing surprises. A standalone NIS2 Gap Assessment starts from ₹2.5 lakhs for a small IT services company. Full compliance programmes including implementation support and audit are priced based on organisation size, complexity, and current maturity level. EU client questionnaire response engagements are priced based on questionnaire size and your current controls. Contact us for a no-obligation scoping call and a fixed-fee quote within 48 hours.
