NIS2 compliance for application and API security.
Aptori helps essential and important entities support NIS2 compliance with continuous application and API security validation, Article 21 risk management evidence, Article 23 incident readiness, software supply chain visibility, runtime exploitability proof, AI-assisted remediation, and audit-ready reporting.
NIS2 makes cybersecurity risk management an executive compliance obligation.
The European Commission NIS2 Directive expands cybersecurity obligations across essential and important entities, including stronger requirements for risk management, incident reporting, supply chain security, governance, and accountability. ENISA also provides NIS2 guidance to help organizations prepare.
Cybersecurity risk management
NIS2 requires organizations to adopt appropriate and proportionate measures for managing cybersecurity risk across systems, services, suppliers, and operations.
Incident readiness
Organizations need evidence that they can detect, investigate, remediate, and report incidents with clear operational records.
Supply chain security
NIS2 raises expectations for supplier and software supply chain risk management, including dependency visibility, vulnerability handling, and remediation evidence.
Turn NIS2 security activity into audit-ready evidence.
Validate application risk, API behavior, vulnerabilities, dependencies, remediation, and incident readiness continuously.
NIS2 compliance must include the application and API layer.
Critical services depend on applications, APIs, cloud-native workflows, identity systems, third-party integrations, and software supply chains. These layers often expose authorization flaws, business logic vulnerabilities, exploitable dependencies, and incident paths that policy documents and infrastructure controls cannot prove or remediate.
APIs expose critical workflows
APIs connect users, customers, partners, suppliers, services, and operational systems. NIS2-ready programs need API security testing that validates real behavior.
Runtime behavior proves risk
Aptori uses Semantic Runtime Validation to prove whether weaknesses are exploitable in real application and API behavior.
Evidence must be continuous
NIS2 readiness requires evidence across risk analysis, vulnerability handling, remediation, retesting, supplier visibility, and incident response.
Continuous NIS2 evidence from application and API validation.
Aptori connects continuous testing, runtime validation, vulnerability management, supply chain visibility, remediation, and incident readiness into one operating model.
Map NIS2 Article 21 risk management measures to operational security workflows.
Aptori helps organizations translate NIS2 cybersecurity risk management measures into continuous application security, API security, vulnerability handling, supply chain visibility, and evidence-generation workflows.
Risk management measures
Security policies
Article 23 readiness
Operational resilience
Supplier and dependency risk
Acquisition and maintenance
Remediation and disclosure
Identity and authorization
Support NIS2 Article 23 incident readiness with runtime-backed evidence.
NIS2 incident reporting readiness depends on knowing which systems are affected, what vulnerabilities exist, whether weaknesses are exploitable, what remediation actions were taken, and what evidence supports the response. Aptori connects these records into a defensible operational view.
Affected systems and APIs
Connect incident context to affected applications, APIs, workflows, dependencies, and service paths.
Exploitability and impact
Validate whether a weakness can be exploited in real runtime behavior and determine which workflows may be affected.
Remediation and retesting
Preserve evidence showing what was fixed, when it was fixed, and whether remediation was validated.
Build NIS2 incident readiness evidence before an incident occurs.
Connect runtime validation, vulnerabilities, affected workflows, remediation, and reporting records.
Validate software supply chain and dependency risk for NIS2 compliance.
NIS2 raises expectations for supply chain security. Software risk now includes third-party dependencies, open source packages, vendor software, API integrations, cloud services, and the ability to identify and remediate vulnerable components before they affect essential services.
SCA and SBOM visibility
Track components, dependency risk, reachability, vulnerable packages, and remediation status. Explore Software Composition Analysis.
Reachability and exploitability
Reduce noise by understanding whether vulnerable components are reachable and whether related weaknesses are exploitable.
Supplier and product risk
Connect supplier-driven software risk to applications, APIs, services, workflows, and compliance evidence.
Remediation evidence
Preserve evidence showing dependency upgrades, mitigation status, retesting, and continuous vulnerability management.
