NIS2 compliance in digital access management
In a connected world, organizations also need to protect digital assets such as customer data, access rights, intellectual property, IT systems, and cloud-based services. NIS2 raises the standard for cybersecurity across Europe.
Secure physical and digital assets with iLOQ
Security is no longer only about protecting buildings, equipment, and infrastructure. NIS2 is raising the standard for cybersecurity across Europe and beyond. Organizations need access solutions that support compliance, resilience, and trust. iLOQ helps secure the connection between people, places, systems, and data. It places greater responsibility on organizations to manage risk, protect critical systems, report incidents, and secure their supply chains.
iLOQ helps organizations strengthen security across both the physical and digital sides of access management.
What is NIS2?
NIS2 is the European Union’s updated directive for network and information security. It is designed to improve cybersecurity resilience across essential and important sectors, including technology, infrastructure, energy, transport, water, healthcare, and digital services.
The directive creates a more consistent security framework across EU Member States and focuses on:
- Greater resilience against cyber threats
- Standardized risk management measures
- Mandatory incident reporting
- Stronger supply chain security
- Clearer accountability for cybersecurity practices
Although NIS2 is an EU directive, its impact reaches beyond Europe. It can influence international operations, supplier relationships, compliance strategies, and trade partnerships.
Why NIS2 matters
Organizations rely on connected systems, cloud platforms, digital access rights, and secure data exchange more than ever before. At the same time, cyber threats are becoming more advanced, more frequent, and more disruptive. For businesses and public organizations, cybersecurity is now directly connected to operational continuity, customer trust, and long-term resilience. NIS2 makes it clear that security must be managed proactively. Organizations need to understand their risks, protect their systems, monitor threats, and respond effectively if an incident occurs.
Security is physical and digital
Access management sits at the point where physical and digital security meet. A lock protects a door. But behind that lock are digital credentials, access rights, user data, cloud infrastructure, audit trails, and management systems. That means modern access control must be secure at every level.
iLOQ solutions are designed to help organizations protect both the assets people can see and the systems working behind them.
How iLOQ supports NIS2 readiness
For iLOQ, NIS2 is not just a regulatory requirement. It is part of a wider commitment to secure, reliable, and future-ready access management. We have embedded the principles of NIS2 into our Information Security Management System, supporting a proactive and comprehensive approach to cybersecurity. This helps our customers rely on iLOQ solutions with confidence, knowing that security is built into our operations, systems, and services.
End-to-end encryption
iLOQ uses strong encryption standards to help protect data throughout its lifecycle. From transmission to storage, information is safeguarded against unauthorized access.
Regular security audits and incident response
iLOQ systems are reviewed through security audits and monitoring. Clear incident response processes help identify, manage, and respond to potential security issues effectively.
Secure cloud infrastructure with AWS
iLOQ uses Amazon Web Services to provide secure and scalable cloud-based access management solutions. AWS supports encryption, identity management, and compliance monitoring.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification
iLOQ’s Information Security Management System is certified according to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. This internationally recognized standard supports structured risk management, cloud security, continuous monitoring, and strong information security practices.
A smarter approach to access security
iLOQ helps organizations move beyond traditional mechanical locking with smart access solutions that are designed for today’s security requirements. With iLOQ, access rights can be managed digitally, updated when needed, and removed when access is no longer required. This helps reduce risk, improve control, and support more secure day-to-day operations. For critical infrastructure, public organizations and businesses operating across multiple sites, this creates a stronger foundation for both physical and digital security.
