One auditor's question, three strands of evidence and a folder last kept up to date by someone else.

The evidence for an obligation is rarely in one place. The designated officer keeps the registration, the technical measure sits in the operations team's ticketing system, and the approval is in the minutes of executive management. For every audit question, someone pulls these three strands together by hand, and then does it all again at the next audit.

3evidence strandsRegistration, technical measure and the management resolution are kept separately.
26obligationsFor each one, there has to be evidence of who implements it and since when.
2 daysper auditGathering everything, reconciling the status of each item, putting the evidence into one pack.
5questions without evidenceFor these, the minutes record a follow-up submission at the end of the audit.

The two days of preparation per audit shrink to one, the five questions without evidence are known before the audit instead of turning up in the minutes afterwards, and the evidence effort falls by 50%.

The 50% reduction in evidence effort is this agent's headline figure. The number of obligations and the two days of preparation per audit reflect a typical process at an operator; they were not measured.

Three steps through the process.

For every obligation, the agent documents its status with the registration, measure and resolution, and names the gaps; the information security officer judges whether an obligation is met.

Bundle the evidence for each obligation

For every obligation, the agent brings the three strands together: registration, technical measure and the management resolution. It records the date and source of every piece of evidence.

26 obligations, 21 fully evidenced, as of 14 May

Track the registration status in the reporting portal

The agent compares the entity's data with what was last reported. It lists every change to contacts, assets or services individually.

Registration of 8 November last year, 2 contact details out of date

Provide the evidence pack for the audit

The agent bundles evidence, status and open points into one evidence pack per audit topic. The information security officer takes it into the audit.

What the agent does not do.

It does not determine that an obligation is met.

It shows which evidence exists for it and which is missing. The information security officer makes the assessment, and responsibility stays with executive management.

It does not report security incidents.

It records which report went out when and what is still outstanding. Executive management submits the report itself.

It does not check whether a technical measure actually works.

It sees in the ticketing system that network segmentation was reported as completed on 3 March. Only the operations team's test shows whether it holds in the control system.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the NIS2 and KRITIS Evidence Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 6 to 8 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud or private cloud. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “50% less evidence effort” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
