NIS2 compliance: 7 low-cost steps to secure credentials

Organizations with constrained budgets can begin NIS2 compliance by prioritizing credential controls, which improve access visibility, revocability, and auditability without requiring new infrastructure. Credentials were involved in 28% of breaches according to Verizon's 2026 data, underscoring their role in risk management under NIS2 Article 21.

Why it matters: Compliance officers and security teams managing NIS2 implementation need practical, cost-effective starting points; credential governance delivers measurable risk reduction aligned with the directive's flexibility on specific control choices.
