Alexus for Public Administration
Public-administration bodies are essential entities under NIS2, holding citizen data and running critical services on tight budgets. Alexus makes continuous compliance achievable without a large security team.
Certain public-administration entities are essential entities under NIS2 Annex I. They face the same risk-management and reporting duties as private essential entities, often with legacy systems, tight budgets and sensitive citizen data that also falls under GDPR.
Sits alongside national public-sector security frameworks.
NIS2 for Public Administration, in three questions
Yes — public administration is a high-criticality sector under NIS2 Annex I.
Essential entity · NIS2 Annex I (Public administration)
Public-administration entities identified by your Member State are in scope, and many are covered regardless of the usual size thresholds.
NIS2 generally applies from medium-sized up — broadly 50+ staff, or annual turnover / balance-sheet total over €10M. (Medium is under 250 staff and up to €50M turnover or €43M balance sheet; larger than that is a “large” entity.) Some entities are in scope regardless of size, and the exact rules are set by your country’s transposition.
Register with your national competent authority once the transposing law applies.
Put the ten cybersecurity risk-management measures in place — and be able to show them working.
Report significant incidents: a 24-hour early warning, a 72-hour notification, and a final report within a month.
Your management body approves and oversees the measures — and can be held personally liable.
Scope is ultimately set by your national transposition — use the self-checks above, or ask us to confirm against your estate.
What makes NIS2 hard in Public Administration
Legacy systems, tight budgets
Long-lived systems and limited resources make 'what do we run, and is it controlled?' genuinely hard to answer.
NIS2 and GDPR together
NIS2 security evidence and GDPR data-protection duties pull on the same systems and the same scarce staff.
Procurement-driven risk
Heavy reliance on suppliers and contractors widens the exposure NIS2 expects you to manage.
The evidence layer, tuned for Public Administration
Live inventory of services
A continuously reconciled map of systems and dependencies, the asset hygiene Article 21 expects, kept current.
Readiness scoring from day one
A live score against the 10 measures so a resource-constrained team sees exactly where the gaps are.
NIS2 + GDPR in one trail
Audit entries and data lineage share one source, so right-to-erasure and NIS2 evidence are both a query.
Article 23 incident reporting
Reports assembled from the operational graph, ready for you to review and submit.
