DORANIS2 Directive

DORA covers 60.7% of NIS2 Directive

17 of the 28 controls in NIS2 Directive are already satisfied by evidence you collected for DORA. 11 are genuine gaps. Every claim below was judged against both control sets and then argued against; the ones that did not survive are published further down with the reason each failed.

This number is directional. It says how much of NIS2 Directive your DORA evidence satisfies. The reverse pair is a different number, often very different, because a security standard has enormous depth for access control and almost none for lawful basis or data subject rights.

39 candidate mappings were examined and 0 were removed. Signed off 2026-08-20, review level machine verified. Mappings were judged by Claude Code rather than read line by line by a practitioner. Every claim shows its reasoning so you can check it. Ask and a practitioner will review this pair.

Where the gaps are

Coverage is never evenly spread. A source standard usually satisfies one part of a target almost completely and barely touches another, and which part is which is the thing worth knowing before you plan the work.

NIS2 Chapter IV: Governance (Article 20)2 of 2 evidenced
NIS2 Chapter VII: Supervision and Enforcement1 of 1 evidenced
NIS2 Chapter IV: Incident Reporting (Article 23)5 of 6 evidenced, 1 to do
NIS2 Chapter IV: Cybersecurity Risk-Management Measures (Article 21)9 of 13 evidenced, 4 to do
NIS2 Chapter IV: Supply Chain Assessment, Certification and Standardisation (Articles 22, 24, 25)0 of 1 evidenced, 1 to do
NIS2 Chapter V: Jurisdiction and Registration0 of 3 evidenced, 3 to do
NIS2 Chapter VI: Information Sharing0 of 1 evidenced, 1 to do
NIS2 Chapter I: General Provisions0 of 1 evidenced, 1 to do

Theme level, not control level, deliberately. The per-control list of what is evidenced and what is a gap is the report itself, so publishing it here would be publishing the thing being sold.

Claims that held

A sample. Each one names the control whose evidence does the work, the control it satisfies, and why.

DORA-Art.5Art.20.1argued against and upheld

Claims that did not hold

Nothing proposed for this pair was rejected in review. That is unusual and worth knowing rather than hiding: it means the candidate set was small and every candidate held.
