On May 3 2019, the European NIS Directive (directive on security of network and information systems) was transposed into a Belgian national law. As Operator of Essential Services (OES), FARYS had to become compliant with this new cybersecurity law.

NIS compliance 4.0 approach
IC4, Siemens & Vandelanotte set up a pragmatic and comprehensive approach to support customers in becoming NIS compliant with:

Organizational consulting by IC4
Technical consulting by Siemens (incl. IEC 62443 Assessment)
Legal consulting by Vandelanotte

All four requirements for NIS compliance (Reporting, security, information & supervisory obligations) are covered by the NIS compliance 4.0 approach.

NIS compliance 4.0 was the ideal approach for us. It showed us exactly what we needed to do and helped us draw up a roadmap. By combining our internal knowledge with that of the partners, we were able to efficiently increase the cybersecurity maturity within our company. After all, a secure supply of drinking water is in the interest of every citizen.

Gerd De Mey, ICT Manager at FARYS

NIS compliance 4.0 provided FARYS a clear roadmap to NIS compliance.
A synergy was found between the knowledge/experience available within FARYS’ internal IT/OT cybersecurity teams and the expert know-how of external consultants in the domains of ISO 27001 and IEC 62443.
