Meeting NIS-2 Compliance in Logistics: How TVA Delivers with FedRAMP-Grade Security

What the EU’s NIS-2 Directive Means for Logistics and Transportation—and Why TVA Is the Fastest Path to Compliance and Cyber Resilience

Introduction: A New Era of Cybersecurity Regulation in the EU

Cyber threats are growing in scale, sophistication, and impact—and governments are responding with stronger regulations. In the European Union, the NIS-2 Directive is raising the bar for cybersecurity compliance, particularly for companies that operate in critical sectors like logistics, transportation, and supply chain management.

Achieving NIS-2 compliance is no small feat. The directive introduces sweeping new requirements—from advanced risk management protocols to strict incident reporting timelines.

That’s where Tactical Edge’s Total Visibility Anywhere (TVA) platform comes in. With its robust security features and FedRAMP authorization, TVA gives EU-based organizations a powerful, ready-to-deploy tool for meeting NIS-2 demands—fast.

NIS-2 Compliance Timeline and Enforcement

Under the directive, all EU Member States were required to transpose NIS-2 into national law by October 17, 2024, with enforcement starting as early as March 2025. If your organization falls within the expanded scope of NIS-2—including logistics and transportation service providers—you are expected to act now to ensure full compliance.

Importantly, delays in local implementation do not exempt organizations from meeting their obligations. Compliance readiness is not only about avoiding penalties—it’s about protecting operational continuity in the face of growing cyber threats.

Who Must Comply?

NIS-2’s broadened scope brings many new organizations under regulatory scrutiny. Entities that were previously out of scope are now expected to meet more demanding security standards. This includes a wide range of essential and important entities in industries such as logistics, transportation, and digital supply chains.

If your organization plays a significant role in the flow of goods, data, or services within or across EU borders, NIS-2 likely applies. The directive requires such organizations to adopt comprehensive cybersecurity measures, manage risks across their software and digital supply chains, and follow strict reporting protocols in the event of a security incident.

Key NIS-2 Compliance Requirements

To meet NIS-2 obligations, organizations must strengthen their cybersecurity posture across several core areas. The directive outlines specific expectations around security controls, executive responsibility, incident response, and operational resilience.

• Risk Management & Security Controls
  Organizations must implement robust technical safeguards, including:
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  • Data encryption
  • Secure backups
  • Real-time system monitoring
  • Additionally, organizations are required to assess and manage risks posed by third-party vendors and supply chain partners.
• Corporate Accountability
  Senior leadership is now directly responsible for cybersecurity strategy and compliance. This includes:
  • Supporting appropriate security investments
  • Undergoing regular cybersecurity training
  • Facing potential personal liability if requirements are neglected
• Incident Reporting
  NIS-2 introduces strict timelines for notifying authorities of security incidents:
  • Initial early-warning report within 24 hours
  • Full incident report within 72 hours
  • Final post-incident assessment within 30 days
• Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
  Organizations must maintain comprehensive continuity plans that include:
  • Regularly tested backup and recovery procedures
  • Resilience strategies to ensure critical operations continue during cyber disruptions

TVA: A Comprehensive Solution for NIS-2 Compliance

Tactical Edge’s TVA platform is designed from the ground up to support organizations with high operational complexity and security sensitivity—especially those in logistics and transportation. TVA aligns directly with the technical and procedural requirements of NIS-2, offering a single platform to support security, compliance, and continuity goals.

Advanced Security Controls: TVA delivers advanced security features such as multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, and end-to-end encryption—fulfilling NIS-2’s technical mandates. 

Automated Incident Management: The platform’s automated incident management capabilities allow for real-time detection, alerting, and reporting, helping organizations stay compliant with the directive’s strict notification timelines.

Supply Chain Risk Management: For companies managing large, distributed supply chains, TVA also provides end-to-end visibility and control over third-party vendors and partners. These capabilities allow continuous risk assessment and easier compliance tracking.

Business Continuity Support: Built-in backup, recovery, and continuity features give teams confidence in their ability to withstand and recover from disruptions. High availability and system redundancy ensure that even during an incident, core operations stay protected.

FedRAMP Authorization: Exceeding NIS-2 Standards

TVA goes even further than the NIS-2 Directive requires—because it’s already been validated under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), the cybersecurity certification program developed by the U.S. government. FedRAMP is considered one of the most rigorous and demanding frameworks in the world for cloud-based services.

As a FedRAMP-authorized system, TVA has passed independent, third-party assessments covering everything from data encryption and access control to governance, threat detection, and business continuity. That level of scrutiny provides added assurance to EU organizations that TVA meets or exceeds the expectations laid out by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) in its NIS-2 technical guidance.

“TVA was built with global security standards in mind,” said James Gillham, Director of Cybersecurity at Tactical Edge. “Its FedRAMP authorization gives EU-based organizations a head start in meeting NIS-2 obligations by delivering a proven, highly secure foundation for visibility, incident response, and supply chain assurance.”

Immediate Availability for EU Organizations

TVA is available now for EU-based companies seeking to achieve or enhance NIS-2 compliance. With a strong security posture, proven performance in mission-critical environments, and flexible deployment options, TVA enables logistics and transportation service providers to meet their regulatory requirements with confidence—while also strengthening their overall cybersecurity resilience.

Whether you need to improve risk visibility, accelerate incident response, or reduce exposure from third-party vendors, TVA offers a field-tested, security-forward solution that’s ready to support your NIS-2 strategy.
