NIS2 for SMBs: the technical checklist for endpoints
NIS2 mandates baseline technical hygiene. Here is how to meet it concretely with Microsoft Intune: MFA, encryption, updates, compliance.
NIS2 broadens the scope of covered entities and raises the bar on cyber hygiene. For many SMBs and mid-caps, the question becomes: how do we demonstrate baseline technical measures across the device fleet?
Expected measures on endpoints
- Strong authentication (MFA) for all access.
- Encryption of media and devices.
- Patch management: updates applied automatically.
- Access control based on device compliance.
- Traceability of administrative actions (audit log).
These measures exist natively in Microsoft Intune and Conditional Access. The challenge is configuring them correctly, documenting them, and producing evidence.
Producing the evidence
AuPoint generates a compliance report per framework (ISO 27001, NIS2, GDPR): coverage score, covered controls, recent activity, exportable as PDF. Enough to answer an audit or a client questionnaire without starting from scratch.
Start with a free diagnostic: connect your tenant, get your NIS2 score in minutes, and see exactly which controls to enable.
