NIS2 in IT operations for midmarket companies
We translate NIS2 into concrete operational measures: incident readiness, evidence and solid technical controls in everyday operations.
Appetizer Labs delivers founder-led, so only a few projects run in parallel — we confirm availability before writing a proposal.
What you concretely gain
Risk-based measures for infrastructure and applications
Incident and reporting processes with clear responsibilities
Monitoring, logging and evidence for audits
Emergency and recovery plans, including exercises
Trust & Proof: Security by design, documented operating processes, close work with internal stakeholders and external auditors.
How we work together
1) Clarify scope & applicability
Establish the NIS2 scope, the critical services and the measures already in place.
2) Gap analysis & prioritization
Identify and prioritize gaps in technical and organizational security measures.
3) Implementation & documentation
Introduce technical controls, set up incident processes, build up evidence.
Common concerns — answered directly
"We don't know whether NIS2 applies to us."
We settle that in the first conversation: sector, size and criticality decide whether you are in scope, and we assess that for your case.
"NIS2 sounds like a lot of bureaucracy."
Many requirements match good IT operations practice. We use what is already there and close specific gaps.
"Our team has no security specialists."
We work with your existing teams: practical measures your engineers can implement.
When we are not the right fit
So nobody loses time: for these requests we are the wrong supplier. Ask and we will suggest someone who is not.
Round-the-clock operations, on-call cover and SLA-backed run responsibility
We build platforms and hand them over ready to run. Running them is a different business — a managed-service provider can commit to that, we cannot.
Certificates, audit sign-off and conformity statements
Engineering work towards ISO 27001, NIS2 or the EU AI Act is in scope. Issuing the attestation is not: that takes an accredited auditor, not an engineer.
Transformation programmes with many parallel workstreams
Past roughly four concurrent streams you need a delivery organization. We work in a small setup; anything else would mean buying in people we do not know.
A fixed price for a whole transformation, quoted before anyone has looked
Pricing an unexamined legacy estate is guesswork. We estimate after a short assessment — and we will say so when the rebuild is not worth it.

What the next step actually involves
- No sales call and no qualification screen. The first conversation is there to place the problem, not to close anything.
- The reply comes from the engineer who would do the work, not from a sales layer that passes it on.
- Getting in touch does not commit to an engagement. Scope and terms are agreed before any work is commissioned.
- Scope is written down before implementation starts: the result, the boundaries, the estimated effort.
