NIS2 Directive Art.21.3: Take account of supplier-specific vulnerabilities and of Union coordinated supply chain risk assessments
Deciding what supply chain measures are appropriate is not left to general judgement. The entity has to take into account the vulnerabilities specific to each direct supplier and service provider, and the overall quality of those parties' products and cybersecurity practices including their secure development procedures. Separately, it must take into account the results of the Union level coordinated security risk assessments of critical supply chains carried out under Article 22(1). That second limb creates an external input the entity has to watch for and respond to: when a coordinated assessment lands on a technology the entity uses, the outcome has to reach the supplier risk decisions rather than stop at a policy team. Evidence of consideration is what is being asked for, including reasoned decisions not to change anything.

What else in your programme already covers this
This control maps to 51 controls across 15 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-GV.SC-03 Cybersecurity supply chain risk management is integrated into cybersecurity and enterprise risk management, risk assessment, and improvement processes
NIST-CSF-GV.SC-06 Planning and due diligence are performed to reduce risks before entering into formal supplier or other third-party relationships
NIST-CSF-GV.SC-07 The risks posed by a supplier, their products and services, and other third parties are understood, recorded, prioritized, assessed, responded to, and monitored over the course of the relationship
NIST-CSF-ID.RA-10 Critical suppliers are assessed prior to acquisition
You are reading one control. How much of NIS2 Directive have you already done?
NIS2 Directive Art.21.3 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.
