NIS2 as  a Competitive Advantage, Not an Expense

But what if we look at them differently?

NIS2 is not just a bureaucratic checklist. It’s a practical guide to the minimum level of cybersecurity every organization needs to survive. When seen through that lens, NIS2 becomes proof that your company cares about its customers, its operations, and its reputation, and is a foundation for real competitive advantage.

MFA: The First Line of Defense

One of the key NIS2 requirements is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
MFA alone will not stop every possible attack. However, without it, your systems are already compromised. Stolen credentials remain one of the most common attack vectors, and MFA provides the first and most effective layer of defense.

“Identity theft and compromised passwords are still the main entry point for attackers. MFA is the first wall of protection every organization should have,” emphasizes Maja Šporčić, Product Manager at ASEE Solutions.

The Biggest Threat Often Comes from Within

Statistics show that more than half of organizations lack a single source of truth when it comes to digital identities. Access rights are often distributed across departments and systems, users share or reuse passwords, and permissions frequently remain active after employees change roles or leave the company.

Unlike banks and financial institutions, which have long operated under strict cybersecurity regulations, many other sectors still manage identities in fragmented ways, creating security blind spots and unnecessary risks.

From Chaos to Control: Identity Management in Practice

The good news: solutions already exist and are proven in practice.

• Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users to log in once and securely access all applications, reducing password fatigue and boosting protection.
• User segmentation separates access for employees, partners, and external collaborators.
• Lifecycle management automates onboarding, role changes, and deactivation processes.
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) supports role analysis, anomaly detection, and optimization recommendations.

All of this comes together through centralized Identity & Access Management (IAM), enabling organizations to move from chaos to control.

As Dubravko Kovačić, Product Manager at ASEE Solutions Security Division, explains:

“Centralized IAM not only enhances security but also reduces costs, improves user experience, and creates a solid foundation for digital transformation.”
