arXiv:2607.08292v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The NIS-2 Directive increases the need for continuous, auditable compliance evidence and motivates a shift from document-based compliance toward machine-readable compliance artifacts. The Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) is a standard for this purpose, which the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) is adapting with Grundschutz++. However, companies are still managing extensive legacy IT security concepts (IT-SCs),
Editorial Analysis
Many European enterprises still maintain legacy security documentation that was never designed for continuous audit; structured verification against NIS2 reduces compliance risk before enforcement deadlines.
Map your existing IT security concept documents into the proposed dual-graph model to identify control gaps before your next NIS2-related audit.
Automated verification of legacy security documentation against NIS2 can reduce audit preparation effort and compliance risk.
