NIS2 Directive
NIS2 Chapter IV: Cybersecurity Risk-Management Measures (Article 21)

NIS2 Directive Art.21.2.h: Policies and procedures on the use of cryptography and, where appropriate, encryption

The obligation is to have decided, in writing, where cryptography is used and how it is governed. That covers which algorithms and key lengths are permitted, where data is encrypted at rest and in transit, how certificates and keys are generated, stored, rotated and revoked, and who may access key material. Encryption is qualified by where appropriate, which means the entity is expected to reach a reasoned position rather than encrypt everything or nothing. Key management is where this obligation usually fails in practice, because encryption can be deployed correctly while the keys sit somewhere that removes the protection. Expired certificates and forgotten key owners are also the common route by which an availability incident starts.

You are reading one control. How much of NIS2 Directive have you already done?

NIS2 Directive Art.21.2.h 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.
