Three reasons NIS2-regulated manufacturers across Europe choose OTbase
- Secure
- Resilient
- Compliance
- No cloud
- No sensor
- No noisy scan
- Automated
- Contextualized
- Audit-ready
You don't have a security problem. You have a documentation problem.
Complex, multi-vendor OT environments have outpaced manual tracking. Under NIS2 Article 21, "best-effort" spreadsheets and passive monitoring no longer cut it. Regulators demand a live, defensible asset inventory. Furthermore, Article 20 holds management personally accountable for cybersecurity risks. EU authorities are already supervising entities—the question isn't if you will be assessed, but whether you'll be ready when they arrive.
What NIS2 Requires That Most Organisations Cannot Currently Prove
-
Audit-Ready Asset Management Static spreadsheets don't meet the Article 21(2)(i) bar. OTbase provides the live, structured OT inventory European authorities demand.
-
Contextual Vulnerability Handling You can't patch what you can't see. We tie vulnerability data to your actual installed base for precise risk prioritization.
-
Verified Risk Analysis Ditch the assumptions. Build your NIS2 risk assessments on verified, real-time network data, not guesswork.
-
Rapid Incident Response When every second counts, OTbase instantly identifies affected devices and firmware, turning days of investigation into minutes.
One inventory. Every device. Every site. Continuously updated.
Most NIS2-regulated organisations today rely on a combination of manual spreadsheets maintained per site, passive monitoring tools that miss devices, and institutional knowledge that lives in the heads of engineers who may not be present during an audit.
OTbase replaces all of it. One automatically updated inventory, built from what is actually running on your operational technology network, available to engineering, security, and management from a single platform — across every site, in every country you operate.
- Asset management (Art. 21(2)(i))
- Vulnerability handling (Art. 21(2)(e))
- Risk analysis policies
- Supply chain security
- Incident handling
- Management oversight
- Comprehensive, contextual asset inventory
- Automated CVE mapping with risk scoring
- Accurate asset data for risk assessment
- Full visibility into supplier device exposure
- Exact identification of affected assets
- Management-ready dashboards
Built for the operational technology environments NIS2 was written to protect
OTbase runs entirely within your network. No traffic leaves your environment. Discovery happens at the device level, not the traffic level — so you see what is actually running, not what happens to be broadcasting.
Enforcement Is Underway Across Europe. The Most Common Failure Is the Simplest One.
The NIS2 Directive has been enforceable across European Union Member States since October 2024. National competent authorities are actively supervising essential and important entities. For many organisations in scope, the compliance window has closed.
The most common point of failure is the one that looks the simplest: producing an auditable, up-to-date operational technology asset inventory on demand. Most organisations cannot do it. OTbase is built specifically to ensure you can.
- Deploy OTbase Discovery Agents in your OT environment
- Your inventory builds automatically from active device communication
- Known vulnerabilities map to your specific installed base without any scanning of production systems
- Evidence is available for regulatory auditors without a documentation sprint
Article 20 makes management personally accountable. OTbase gives management something to show.
NIS2 Article 20 places direct personal accountability on the management body — not just the organisation. Maximum penalties under the Directive reach up to ten million euros or two percent of global annual turnover across Member States. The evidence that protects management is the same evidence regulators require: a current, defensible operational technology asset inventory.
OTbase delivers management-ready dashboards and reports generated directly from the live inventory. Engineering teams get the technical depth they need. Management gets the oversight evidence Article 20 demands.
See exactly where your OT environment stands before a regulator does.
In 30 minutes we will show you what OTbase discovers in an industrial operational technology environment like yours — every device identified, every known vulnerability mapped to your specific installed base, and the full inventory live. No slides. A working demonstration using real operational technology environment data specific to how NIS2-regulated manufacturers use OTbase from day one.
