Regulatory Compliance

NIS2, DORA, PCI DSS, and financial sector requirements. Delivered from Reykjavík, Iceland, on site or remote.

The Rules Have Changed

Cybersecurity is no longer just a technical issue; it is a legal one. With the introduction of NIS2 and DORA, the era of voluntary guidelines is over. We have entered an era of personal liability for directors and massive fines for non-compliance. For many organizations, deciphering these complex legal texts and translating them into IT controls is an overwhelming distraction from their core business.

The Solution: From Gap to Governance
We turn regulatory confusion into a clear, step-by-step roadmap. We do not just hand you a checklist and walk away. We partner with your IT and leadership teams to interpret the specific requirements of NIS2, PCI DSS, DORA, and FSA guidelines for your specific environment.

How We Help
We handle the heavy lifting of the compliance journey. We perform the initial Gap Analysis to see where you stand today. We help write the required policies, implement the technical controls (like MFA or logging), and prepare your evidence for the external auditor. We ensure you aren't just "checking boxes," but actually building the resilience that regulators demand.

Features

Readiness Gap Analysis

The starting point we assess your current policies and controls against the specific framework (e.g., NIS2 or DORA) to produce a clear "To-Do" list of deficiencies.

Unified Control Framework

Stop duplicating work. We map requirements across multiple standards. If you fix a password policy for PCI DSS, we ensure it also counts towards your NIS2 and DORA evidence.

Remediation Management

We don't just identify gaps; we help close them. We guide your technical teams on how to configure systems and implement tools to satisfy the auditor's requirements.

Audit Defense & Preparation

We act as your advocate during the audit. We prepare the evidence folders, coach your staff on how to answer interviewer questions, and help you navigate the audit process smoothly.

Policy & Procedure

Key Frameworks We Support

SecureIT delivers compliance support for the regulatory frameworks most relevant to critical infrastructure, financial services, and commerce in Europe and Iceland.

NIS2

The EU Network and Information Security Directive. Mandatory for organizations classified as "Essential" or "Important" entities across sectors including energy, transport, healthcare, and managed service providers. NIS2 focuses on supply chain security, incident reporting obligations, and board level accountability, with significant penalties for noncompliance.

DORA

The Digital Operational Resilience Act. An EU regulation targeting the financial sector and its ICT service providers. DORA requires formal ICT risk management, incident reporting, third party oversight, and mandatory threat led penetration testing (TLPT) for qualifying institutions.

PCI DSS

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. Mandatory for any organization that processes, stores, or transmits credit card data. PCI DSS focuses on securing the cardholder data environment (CDE) through access controls, encryption, monitoring, and regular testing.

FSA

Financial Supervisory Authority. SecureIT helps financial institutions meet local executive orders on IT security and outsourcing governance.

Key Benefits

One Control Framework, Multiple Regulations Most organizations subject to NIS2 are also dealing with DORA, PCI DSS, or local FSA requirements. SecureIT maps all applicable requirements into a single unified control view. When you implement a control once, it counts across every framework where it applies. This eliminates duplicate work and keeps the compliance effort focused.

Remediation, Not Just Gap Reports SecureIT does not stop at identifying deficiencies. The team works alongside your technical and operational staff to implement controls, configure systems, and produce the evidence an auditor will verify. The output is a compliant environment, not a list of things you still need to do.

Audit Defense and Preparation When the audit arrives, SecureIT acts as your advocate. The team prepares evidence packages, coaches staff on how to answer auditor questions, and supports the process so it stays structured and controlled. This reduces audit fatigue and the risk of findings caused by poor presentation rather than actual gaps.

Personal Liability Is Real NIS2 and DORA introduce personal accountability for directors and senior management. Demonstrating a formal, documented compliance program with evidence of active risk management is the strongest defense against negligence claims. SecureIT builds programs with this defensibility in mind from the start.

FAQ

What is included in SecureIT's Regulatory Compliance service?

The service covers the full compliance lifecycle: gap analysis against your target framework, requirement mapping to practical controls, remediation support to close identified gaps, policy and procedure development, evidence preparation, and audit defense. The output is not a checklist or a gap report alone. SecureIT works alongside your team to implement controls, produce evidence, and prepare your organization for an auditor to verify. The goal is a compliant environment with documentation that is reusable across audit cycles.

Which regulatory frameworks does SecureIT support?

SecureIT supports NIS2, DORA, PCI DSS, and Icelandic Financial Supervisory Authority (FSA) requirements. If you have a specific regulator, customer contract, or industry requirement, SecureIT maps it into the same unified control framework so it does not become parallel work. This is particularly relevant for organizations that fall under multiple overlapping obligations.

How does SecureIT avoid duplicate work across NIS2, DORA, and PCI DSS?

SecureIT builds one unified control view and maps each framework's requirements into it. When you implement a control once, it counts across every framework where that control applies. This eliminates redundant effort, reduces cost, and keeps the compliance program manageable rather than creating separate workstreams for each regulation.

Does SecureIT only identify gaps, or do you help close them?

SecureIT helps close them. The service includes practical remediation support: guiding your technical teams on how to configure systems, implement controls, and produce the evidence that satisfies auditor expectations. Gap analysis is the starting point, not the final deliverable.

Does SecureIT help during audits?

Yes. SecureIT acts as your advocate during the audit process. The team assembles evidence packages, coaches your staff on how to respond to auditor questions, and supports the audit so it stays focused and controlled. This reduces the risk of findings caused by poor presentation or missing documentation rather than actual control gaps.

Does NIS2 or DORA create personal liability for directors?

Yes. Both NIS2 and DORA introduce accountability mechanisms that can hold directors and senior management personally responsible for failure to manage cybersecurity risk. Demonstrating a formal, documented compliance program with evidence of active risk management and regular review is the strongest defense against negligence claims. SecureIT builds compliance programs with this defensibility in mind from the start.

What qualifications does the SecureIT compliance team hold?

The team holds certifications across auditing, security management, and privacy. These include ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor, PCIP (Payment Card Industry Professional), HITRUST CCSFP, CISSP, CISM, GIAC GISP, CDPSE (Data Privacy Solutions Engineer), CDPP, and CCSP. This ensures the advice is accurate, aligned with what auditors expect, and defensible under scrutiny.

Does SecureIT support organizations in Iceland?

Yes. SecureIT is headquartered in Reykjavík and delivers on site across Iceland. The team also supports international and distributed teams remotely. SecureIT has particular familiarity with the Icelandic regulatory environment, including FSA requirements for financial institutions.

What does SecureIT need from us to start?

Your scope boundaries, business context, any existing policies or prior assessments, current tooling, and the systems that fall under the regulatory requirement. If you already have an auditor engaged or a target audit date, share that as well so the engagement can be structured around your timeline.

How long does the compliance process take?

The timeline depends on the framework, number of systems in scope, and your starting maturity. A gap analysis and remediation roadmap can typically be delivered within the first two to four weeks. Full remediation and audit preparation timelines vary, but SecureIT structures the work so that the highest risk gaps are addressed first, giving you defensible progress even before the full program is complete.
