NIS2 Readiness Checklist: Assess Your Organization's Readiness for NIS2
Identify gaps in governance, risk, incidents and suppliers with a practical assessment, featuring automatic scoring and results by dimension.
NIS2 has expanded the accountability of senior management and put risk, incidents, continuity and suppliers into the same conversation. For many organizations, the challenge isn't just understanding the directive: it's knowing where they stand today, what is fragmented and where to start.
The NIS2 Readiness Checklist is a practical diagnostic tool, not just informational content. Built in Excel, with clear questions and automatic scoring, it shows your organization's level of readiness and where the main gaps are. Download it and see how to:
- Assess 8 readiness dimensions: answer 39 clear questions (Yes, Partially or No) on governance, risk, incidents, continuity, suppliers, evidence, audit and training, and record evidence along the way;
- Calculate your readiness level: automatically get your overall score, percentage and readiness level (initial, intermediate or advanced);
- Identify gaps and priorities: review the result by dimension, your three biggest gaps and recommendations for taking the first step in your action plan.
The checklist assesses readiness and is not an audit, certification or legal opinion on NIS2 compliance. Use the result to see where to build processes, controls, responsibilities and evidence, and give your leadership an objective view of what needs attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NIS2 Readiness Checklist?
It's a practical diagnostic tool, built in Excel, that assesses your organization's readiness for NIS2 across 8 governance and management dimensions. At the end, you get your score, readiness percentage, readiness level and main gaps.
Who is this resource for?
Professionals in Compliance and GRC, Information Security and IT, Quality, Process Management, Internal Audit, and Legal and Regulatory, as well as Operations managers and senior leaders who are overseeing NIS2 preparation.
Does this checklist guarantee that my company is compliant with NIS2?
No. The checklist is a readiness tool designed to identify gaps and assess your organization's level of preparation. It is not an audit, certification or legal opinion on compliance.
How should I interpret my score?
The score represents the level of readiness indicated by the answers you provided. Use the result to identify priorities and gaps, not as a certification of compliance.
Which teams in the company should take part in the assessment? Is NIS2 only an IT topic?
No. The directive increases the accountability of senior management and involves several teams in risk management, governance, incident response, continuity and the supply chain. The assessment works best with IT, Security, Compliance, Risk, Operations, Legal, Audit, Quality, Procurement and leadership.
Can the checklist be used to assess suppliers?
Yes, especially the questions on managing and monitoring supply chain risk. NIS2 reinforces the need to consider the risks associated with suppliers and third parties.
Can I use the checklist to create an action plan?
Yes. The result helps identify gaps and priorities, and the recommendations tab shows where to start. To turn those gaps into action plans with owners, deadlines and ongoing follow-up, you need a management solution.
Does this checklist replace a GRC solution?
No. The checklist is a point-in-time assessment. A GRC solution lets you structure and continuously track risks, controls, responsibilities, actions, indicators and evidence.
