A wind power operator secured critical energy infrastructure with condignum and achieved NIS2 quickly.
Overview
Industry: Energy / renewable energy
Region: Eastern Austria
Company size: 500 employees
Use cases: Manage GRC, manage supply chain
Challenge
A leading wind power operator faced the challenge of meeting the mandatory NIS2 Directive from 2025. As an operator of critical energy infrastructure, the company had to ensure that both OT assets and IT systems met the highest security standards. It also had to integrate complex decentralized sites, supply chains, and service partners into a unified security and governance framework, without adding extra teams or running lengthy projects.
Solution
In search of an efficient and practical solution, the company selected the condignum platform. The combination of automated gap analyses, a clear governance framework, and the ability to cover both IT and OT made condignum an ideal basis for implementing NIS2 requirements.
In addition, the fast-track approach promised especially rapid and structured implementation, exactly what an energy provider needs while maintaining live operations.
Implementation
Within weeks, critical systems were assessed, prioritized, and aligned to NIS2. Suppliers and service partners were integrated into the framework to increase operational and supply-chain security.
Benefits
By implementing the condignum platform, the wind power operator not only ensured NIS2 compliance, but also strengthened its overall security architecture over the long term. Continuous monitoring, clear responsibilities, and robust controls help secure plant availability while meeting regulatory requirements.
Results
Rapid compliance: NIS2 requirements were implemented in record time.
Higher security: Improved transparency over IT and OT risks with continuous monitoring.
Supply-chain protection: All relevant partners were integrated into the GRC framework.
Cost efficiency: Preventive controls and reduced outage risk led to long-term savings.
Conclusion
Working with condignum was a decisive step for the wind power operator to address growing cyber threats in the energy sector while meeting NIS2 requirements quickly and efficiently. The condignum platform showed that fast, scalable, and sustainable security solutions are possible to protect critical energy operations over the long term.
