Prepare your organisation for the new European cybersecurity standard

NIS2 & Identity and Access Management (IAM)

NIS2 & Identity and Access Management (IAM)

The NIS2 directive is the new European legislation that tightens cybersecurity obligations for thousands of organisations. From strong access security to incident management and risk governance. Identity & Access Management (IAM) forms the foundation: you must be able to demonstrate who has access, why, and how that is securely managed.

Joinly helps you configure Microsoft Entra ID and IAM processes to be NIS2-proof *. With automatic lifecycle management, role-based access, and demonstrable compliance.

What is NIS2?

More and more organisations are running into the same problem:
you need to work digitally secure, but nobody knows exactly if it is "good enough" *.

NIS2 is a new European law that aims to put an end to this.
This law basically says: you can no longer gamble on security, you must be able to show that you have things properly in order.

That means you must:

✅ know who has access to your systems

✅ prevent former employees from retaining access

✅ report cyber incidents quickly

✅ and be able to prove that your security is in order

For many companies, this feels like extra pressure on top of an already busy IT agenda.

Why IAM is essential for NIS2 compliance

NIS2 is all about demonstrable control over digital access.
That is why Identity & Access Management (IAM) is central to the legislation.

Organisations must be able to demonstrate that they:

  • Use strong authentication
    Such as MFA and smart access rules to prevent unauthorised access.

  • Restrict access according to least privilege
    Employees only get the permissions they actually need.

  • Log and monitor activities
    Login attempts, permission changes and provisioning must be transparent for audits and incident response.

  • Automate lifecycle processes
    Accounts must be automatically created, modified and deactivated during staff changes.

  • Can demonstrate compliance
    Reports must show who had access, when and why.

In short: without properly structured IAM processes, NIS2 compliance becomes virtually impossible.

How Joinly helps you become NIS2-compliant

Joinly serves as a control and automation layer on top of Microsoft Entra ID for Identity & Access Management:

Where organizations often get stuck

HR-driven provisioning

We link your HR source to Entra ID so that:

  • accounts are automatically created upon start

  • accounts are immediately blocked upon termination of employment

  • role changes automatically lead to adjusted access

This ensures consistent, demonstrable lifecycle management.

manual provisioning and offboarding

Role and access governance

  • Roles are mapped to access profiles

  • Transparent mapping from role to permissions

no central RBAC / role structure

Logging & Compliance reporting

Joinly collects and structures:

  • provisioning logs

  • access audit trails

  • exception reports

limited logging capabilities

SCIM & application integrations

We provision users to your business applications, ensuring:

  • Entitlements are automatically kept in sync

  • No silos are created outside of Entra

  • End-to-end IAM compliance is possible

no integration with HR or authorisation processes
