What NISG is

NISG is Austria's national transposition of the EU NIS2 Directive. It carries the same identity, access-control, logging, and incident-detection expectations, applied to Microsoft 365 and Entra ID.

Official reference: NISG (Network and Information System Security Act)

NISG and Microsoft 365: common questions

Does NISG apply to Microsoft 365?

NISG (Network and Information System Security Act) does not name Microsoft 365 specifically, but its identity, access-control, and logging requirements are met (or missed) in your Microsoft 365 and Entra ID configuration. That is where Siemserva checks provide the evidence.

How does Siemserva map to NISG?

Siemserva runs 252+ Microsoft 365 and Entra ID checks across the areas NISG emphasizes, multi-factor authentication, Conditional Access, privileged access, and logging, ranks the gaps by Severity, and produces audit-ready evidence. It is evidence, not an official mapping or certification.

Is this an official NISG certification?

No. Senserva is not an assessor and issues no certifications. It provides the configuration evidence, Severity ranking, and remediation that make an assessment defensible. Confirm requirements with your assessor or regulator.
