Prioritize by critical services and risk: start with assets that support essential functions and build incident readiness alongside baseline controls.
NIS 2 implementation can feel broad because it touches governance, controls, incident response, and monitoring. A practical prioritization method is to identify the critical services you must protect, map the supporting assets and dependencies, and then focus on the highest-risk failure scenarios.
In parallel, strengthen incident response and crisis management, because readiness can reduce impact even while technical remediation is still underway. Testing and metrics then validate whether improvements are real.
Organizations that sequence work around critical services avoid spending months on low-impact controls while high-impact gaps remain.
“Start where failure hurts the most, then measure progress.”

NIS 2 programs must be ready to detect, respond, coordinate, and recover. Incident and crisis management should connect to continuity planning and be tested regularly.
Testing and monitoring prove whether controls and response capabilities work. Metrics and reporting turn results into decisions and continual improvement.
You should be able to show governance decisions, risk assessments, implemented controls, incident response artifacts, and monitoring/testing results.
