§30 obligations matrix
The ten risk-management measures under §30 BSIG — translated into concrete evidence and the matching Microsoft 365 source.
See the obligations matrixWhat counts as NIS2 evidence — and what doesn't.
NIS2 does not ask for a promise of protection. It asks for proof: policies exist, measures work, and the management body is informed.
Proof, not claims
A filled-in Word document is not evidence; evidence is structured, dated, linked to its source.
Current, not one-off
A checklist is stale the moment it is saved; evidence has to stay fresh.
For the management body
Art. 20 / §38 BSIG requires a traceable record at leadership level, not just inside IT.
Who's already asking for evidence.
| Who asks | What they want |
|---|---|
| OEM / customer | A NIS2 supply-chain questionnaire, often with a contract clause |
| Cyber insurer | Structured evidence for underwriting and renewal |
| Management body | A record under Art. 20 / §38 BSIG to limit personal liability |
| BSI / regulator | Registration and the ability to report incidents |
