NIS2 and UoKSC in practice: what we learned from the webinar with SecureVisio?

Why tools alone are not enough, and what NIS2 and the National Cybersecurity System Act (UoKSC) compliance really means in an organization

How can you connect regulatory requirements, security operations, and SIEM tools into one consistent operating model?

This was the key question we set out to answer during our joint webinar with SecureVisio.

It has now been two weeks since the event and several days since the new NIS2-related regulations came into force. This is a good moment to revisit the topic and summarize the most important takeaways—especially from the perspective of practical implementation within an organization.

A challenge we see repeated across most organizations. In conversations with clients, we observe a very similar picture.

Organizations:

• are aware of the upcoming obligations under NIS2 and UoKSC,

• have security tools in place (e.g., SIEM, SOC, vulnerability scanners),

• are starting—or have already prepared—a risk analysis.

Even so, one common issue remains: these elements do not operate as one cohesive system.

In practice, this means that an organization:

• can see incidents but cannot assess their actual significance,

• has a list of vulnerabilities but does not know which require immediate response,

• has a risk analysis that does not translate into day-to-day operational decisions.

What actually follows from NIS2 and UoKSC

From a regulatory perspective, the requirements are relatively clearly defined. Organizations should, among other things:

• manage incidents,

• run continuous monitoring of the environment,

• collect vulnerability information and respond to it,

• conduct risk analysis,

• implement technical and organizational measures.

At the same time, the law does not define in detail how these elements should be executed in day-to-day operations.

This gives organizations significant flexibility, but also creates the biggest challenge: how to translate regulatory requirements into a working model.

The most important takeaway from the webinar

NIS2 and UoKSC compliance is not just about implementing a tool or preparing documentation.

What matters most is building an effective organizational operating system.

In practice, this means connecting three areas:

Technology

Platforms such as SecureVisio play a fundamental role in security operations. They enable:

• data collection and correlation,

• incident detection,

• support for SOC teams,

• response automation,

• vulnerability management.

This is the level at which an organization gains visibility into events.

Business context and risk analysis

This is an area that often exists formally, but is not used operationally.

Yet risk analysis should answer key questions:

• which systems and services are critical,

• which incidents have real impact on the organization,

• which vulnerabilities require immediate response.

Without this, it is difficult to make informed decisions.

Operating model

The third element is how the organization operates:

• who makes decisions,

• what the incident handling process looks like,

• how communication flows,

• how system data is translated into action.

This is the element that ties everything together and determines effectiveness.

A practical example

In many organizations, we encounter a similar situation.

The company has:

• an implemented SIEM,

• vulnerability reports,

• security documentation.

But when an incident occurs, fundamental difficulties appear:

• no clear assessment of its importance,

• no unambiguous decision-making ownership,

• delayed response.

This is not caused by a lack of tools, but by a lack of integration between them and the absence of a coherent operating model.

The role of tools in the compliance context

It is worth emphasizing that tools such as SecureVisio cover a large part of the regulatory requirements.

They provide:

• continuous monitoring,

• incident handling,

• event correlation,

• support for security operations.

However, full compliance begins when the organization can translate system data into business decisions.

What’s next?

The webinar was our first joint event in this format. It helped us gather concrete insights and identify areas that require even greater clarity.

In the next edition, we want to focus even more on practice.

In particular:

• what incident handling really looks like inside an organization,

• which decisions are made and at what point,

• how SIEM data is used in teams’ day-to-day work.

In other words—less about requirements, and more about how organizations operate when they treat cybersecurity as a real process, not just a checklist of obligations.

Summary

The key takeaway is simple:

NIS2 and UoKSC compliance is not about having tools or documents.

It is about whether the organization can:

• understand its risk,

• interpret events correctly,

• and make decisions at the right time.

Only by combining technology, business context, and an operating model can this goal be achieved.
