NIS2 Directive Art.21.2.d: Supply chain security, covering the relationship with each direct supplier and service provider
The Directive scopes this deliberately at direct suppliers and service providers, which makes the first artefact an inventory of who those parties are and which of them touch the network and information systems behind the service. From there the entity has to manage the security-related aspects of each relationship: what the supplier may access, what security obligations bind it, what happens on incident, and what happens at exit. Contract terms are the enforcement mechanism, so contracts that predate NIS2 and carry no security clauses are a live gap rather than a legacy inconvenience. Managed service providers and managed security service providers deserve separate attention because they hold privileged access into the estate, which makes their compromise the entity's incident.

What else in your programme already covers this
This control maps to 64 controls across 16 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
NIST-CSF-DE.CM-06 External service provider activities and services are monitored to find potentially adverse events
NIST-CSF-GV.SC-01 A cybersecurity supply chain risk management program, strategy, objectives, policies, and processes are established and agreed to by organizational stakeholders
NIST-CSF-GV.SC-02 Cybersecurity roles and responsibilities for suppliers, customers, and partners are established, communicated, and coordinated internally and externally
NIST-CSF-GV.SC-04 Suppliers are known and prioritized by criticality
NIST-CSF-GV.SC-05 Requirements to address cybersecurity risks in supply chains are established, prioritized, and integrated into contracts and other types of agreements with suppliers and other relevant third parties
NIST-CSF-GV.SC-09 Supply chain security practices are integrated into cybersecurity and enterprise risk management programs, and their performance is monitored throughout the technology product and service life cycle
NIST-CSF-GV.SC-10 Cybersecurity supply chain risk management plans include provisions for activities that occur after the conclusion of a partnership or service agreement
NIST-CSF-ID.AM-04 Inventories of services provided by suppliers are maintained
You are reading one control. How much of NIS2 Directive have you already done?
NIS2 Directive Art.21.2.d is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of NIS2 Directive your existing evidence covers. Hold DORA and 17 of 28 NIS2 Directive controls already carry evidence.
Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 0 were rejected on the DORA pair alone.
