NIS2 and the network: producing the evidence
The NIS2 directive extends security obligations to a far wider set of organisations. On the network, the difficulty is not knowing what to do, it is demonstrating that what was decided is actually applied across the whole estate, and that it stays that way.

No software makes an organisation compliant. Compliance is a programme that goes well beyond the network. Part of the expected measures, however, concerns device configuration, and that part lends itself very well to tooling and automated evidence.
Network measures that can be verified
Hardening the access network, controlling administrative access to devices, backing up configurations and tracing changes are concrete requirements. They can be deployed at estate scale and then checked continuously.
- Network access control and port hardening
- DHCP snooping and dynamic ARP inspection
- Scheduled and versioned configuration backup
- Compliance rules evaluated automatically across the estate
- Traceability of deployments and detected drift
Evidence, not just the measure
An audit does not ask whether a measure was taken, it asks to verify it. Avalon scheduled audits produce a report showing the compliance rate, the devices that drifted and the trend over time. It is a document that can be shared with the security officer or an external auditor.
Without exposing the network configuration
Avalon runs on site, with no cloud component. Configurations, which describe the network architecture in detail, never leave the organisation infrastructure, so no new risk is introduced at the very moment one is trying to reduce it.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Avalon make my organisation NIS2 compliant?
- No, and any tool claiming otherwise should be treated with suspicion. Avalon covers the network side of the technical measures and provides the associated evidence.
- Are the reports usable during an audit?
- They show the compliance rate per rule and per device, its trend over time, and export as PDF or spreadsheet carrying your logo. The trend itself flags scope changes and rule definition changes, so a reported improvement cannot come from a rule quietly relaxed between two audits.
- Does the network need to be redesigned?
- No. Avalon relies on existing devices and their native interfaces, with no agent and no hardware change.
