A construction-sector company reached NIS2 compliance in record time while strengthening IT, OT, and supply-chain security.
Overview
Industry: Construction industry / building materials
Region: Austria
Company size: 3,000 employees
Use cases: Manage GRC, manage supply chain
Challenge
A leading Austrian construction company faced the challenge of meeting the mandatory NIS2 directive by 2025. In addition, it was also pursuing ISO 27001 certification. As a manufacturer of critical construction materials and infrastructure components, including concrete elements, prefabricated parts, and building solutions for major projects, reliable IT and OT processes were essential for operational and supply security.
To protect operations, customer data, and automated production systems, the company needed to modernize its entire security architecture and align it with the new regulatory framework.
Solution
In search of a fast, scalable, and industry-ready approach, the company chose the condignum platform. The platform promised not only efficient implementation of NIS2 requirements, but also long-term improvements in IT security, OT security, and supply-chain transparency.
condignum's fast-track approach was especially compelling: a structured, clearly defined path to fulfill compliance requirements in a very short time, without tying up extensive internal resources.
Implementation
Within just a few weeks, condignum experts carried out a comprehensive analysis of the company's IT landscape, production OT, construction material plants, and supplier interfaces. Potential security gaps were identified and prioritized, and the platform's automated processes were then used to assess and implement NIS2 requirements.
The result: all critical systems were systematically reviewed, documented, and aligned with regulatory requirements. External partners and suppliers were also integrated into the GRC framework to protect the entire value chain.
Benefits
By introducing the condignum platform, the company not only ensured NIS2 compliance, but also elevated its overall security infrastructure to a new level.
With clear responsibilities, continuous monitoring, and robust protection mechanisms, both automated production systems and digital business areas are now better protected against modern cyber threats.
Results
Rapid compliance: The fast-track approach enabled NIS2 implementation in record time.
Higher security: Transparent IT and OT risk visibility, plus continuous monitoring of all critical systems.
Stronger supply chain: All relevant partners were integrated into the compliance framework.
Cost savings: Preventive measures and the avoidance of security incidents reduced long-term costs.
Conclusion
Working with condignum was a decisive step for the construction company to confidently meet future requirements for information security, OT security, and regulatory compliance.
The successful implementation showed that fast and effective approaches are possible: to achieve NIS2 compliance, reduce risk, and sustainably improve both efficiency and operational resilience.
