How we help you achieve and maintain compliance

With evolving regulations like the DORA Act and the expansive NIS 2 directive, robust compliance is a competitive edge.

CybelAngel provides solutions that mean compliance becomes your strongest asset.

NIST CSF 2.0

CybelAngel’s platform supports NIST CSF 2.0 by delivering external risk visibility and actionable threat intelligence across all six core functions. This helps organizations identify risks, detect threats, respond to incidents, and improve compliance and resilience.

DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act)

CybelAngel’s external risk monitoring capabilities provide critical visibility into third-party risks and vulnerabilities, enabling financial institutions to meet DORA’s requirements for supply chain security and incident detection.

NIS 2 Directive

CybelAngel’s proactive threat detection and vulnerability management capabilities help organizations comply with NIS 2 by identifying and mitigating cyber risks before they can impact essential services.

DORA alignment

ICT asset and data protection management

  • We enable comprehensive ICT asset inventory and exposure visibility by continuously mapping and monitoring external digital assets, supporting DORA’s requirements for ICT risk management frameworks (Art. 5(1)(c)).

 

  • We identify and secure exposed sensitive data across cloud environments and databases, helping financial entities comply with DORA’s mandates for data protection and loss prevention (Art. 5(1)(d)).

Credential Intelligence

CybelAngel monitors for external credential leaks and enforces access controls, addressing DORA’s requirements for identity and access management and credential protection (Art. 6).

Minimizing external risks

  • CybelAngel provides real-time threat intelligence and early warning capabilities, including monitoring for emerging threats and ransomware, in line with DORA’s requirements for continuous threat intelligence (RTS Threat Intelligence).

 

  • We assess third-party cyber resilience and supply chain risk by evaluating the security posture of key vendors and partners, supporting DORA’s requirements for third-party risk management and due diligence (Art. 28).

NIS 2 alignment

Identity, access, and data protection

  • CybelAngel detects leaked credentials on the open and dark web and supports internal identity and access management enforcement, helping organizations comply with NIS 2’s access control and credential monitoring mandates (Art. 21(2)(c)).
  • We proactively identify exposed sensitive data in cloud storage, S3 buckets, and databases, complementing encryption and access controls as required by NIS 2 for data loss prevention and sensitive data protection (Art. 21(2)(d)).

External asset management

We provide comprehensive external asset discovery and vulnerability management by identifying exposed Shadow IT, IoT, RDP, and cloud assets, supporting NIS 2 requirements for ICT asset inventory and risk visibility (Art. 21(2)(b)).

Actionable external threat intelligence

  • CybelAngel delivers external threat intelligence and early warnings, including threat actor activity and ransomware trends, directly supporting NIS 2’s requirements for threat intelligence and risk assessment (ID.RA-3).

 

  • We detect phishing attempts, fraudulent domains, and impersonation attacks to strengthen incident detection and response, aligning with NIS 2’s mandates for incident detection and mitigation (Art. 21(2)(e)).

Frequently Asked Questions

External Attack Surface Management (EASM) helps organizations comply with DORA and NIS 2 by providing comprehensive external asset discovery to identify Shadow IT, IoT, RDP, and cloud assets. CybelAngel’s EASM platform detects exposed sensitive data in cloud storage and databases, monitors for leaked credentials on the open and dark web, identifies unsecured APIs exposed to the internet, and assesses third-party cyber resilience. This proactive visibility supports compliance with DORA Article 5(1)(c), NIS 2 Article 21(2)(b), and NIST CSF 2.0 ‘Identify’ function.

Third-party risk management involves assessing, monitoring, and mitigating cybersecurity risks posed by external vendors and service providers who have access to your systems or data. Under DORA Article 28 and NIS 2 Article 21(2)(f), organizations must vet third-party providers before entering contracts, conduct regular security audits, include detailed security provisions in contracts, and monitor vendors continuously for compliance. Gartner reports that 82% of compliance leaders prioritize third-party risk management in 2025, as 60% of breaches originate from unmanaged digital assets. CybelAngel’s platform enables continuous vendor security posture evaluations to meet these requirements.

Credential intelligence involves monitoring the open and dark web for leaked or exposed credentials (usernames, passwords, API keys, access tokens) belonging to your organization or employees. This capability is critical for compliance because DORA Article 6 requires identity and access management with credential protection, NIS 2 Article 21(2)(c) mandates access control and credential monitoring, and NIST CSF 2.0 ‘Protect’ function includes identity management. CybelAngel’s Credential Intelligence detects compromised credentials, enabling organizations to prevent unauthorized access, contain breaches faster, and demonstrate proactive security monitoring to regulators.

External threat intelligence provides visibility into threats and vulnerabilities beyond your network perimeter, which is required by DORA RTS (continuous threat intelligence and early warning capabilities), NIS 2 ID.RA-3 (threat intelligence for risk assessment), and NIST CSF 2.0 ‘Identify’ and ‘Detect’ functions. CybelAngel’s threat intelligence platform enables organizations to detect emerging threats and ransomware trends before they impact operations, identify exposed assets and vulnerabilities visible to attackers, monitor threat actor activity targeting your industry, and prioritize security investments based on the real-world threat landscape.

While both regulations strengthen cybersecurity resilience in the EU, DORA specifically targets financial sector entities (banks, insurance companies, investment firms, crypto-asset providers) with requirements for ICT risk management, third-party oversight, and operational resilience testing. NIS 2 applies to 18 critical sectors across the EU, focusing broadly on network and information security, incident reporting, and supply chain risk management. Financial entities follow DORA’s ICT requirements instead of NIS 2’s parallel provisions (lex specialis exemption), streamlining compliance. Both require third-party risk management, but DORA includes more stringent requirements for vetting and auditing critical ICT service providers. CybelAngel’s external threat intelligence platform addresses requirements across both frameworks.
