NIS2 compliance at ATOSS: High security standard that creates tangible value for our customers

ATOSS Software SE is one of the few providers of workforce management software solutions that qualifies as an “essential entity” and is therefore subject to the strict legal cybersecurity standards of NIS2. These regulatory obligations, which range from modern security measures and strict reporting duties to comprehensive risk management, translate into concrete benefits for our customers: increased resilience, better protection of personal and confidential data, and higher compliance for maximal trust.

What does NIS2 imply for ATOSS and our customers?

The NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Security 2) is the new EU-wide legal framework for cybersecurity and is being implemented in Germany through national legislation that has been fully in force since December 2025. It obliges affected companies to comply with strict, harmonized security standards across Europe.

Due to its size and relevance, ATOSS Software SE is classified as an “essential entity” as defined by NIS2. This means we are subject to supervision by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and, as a cloud provider, must meet comprehensive security requirements.

For you as a customer, this official classification is a clear mark of quality and trust. Our legal obligations translate into tangible added value for you: The NIS2 requirements require us to maintain high security standards, in which we invest continuously and whose effectiveness is regularly reviewed – both technically and organizationally. In this way, you benefit from a partner that is subject to strict legal cybersecurity requirements and demonstrably must meet them.

Our NIS2 obligations – your enhanced security

As a company regulated under NIS2, ATOSS has already implemented extensive measures to comply with the directive and to maximally protect your business operations:

State-of-the-art security measures & risk management: We have implemented technical and organizational safeguards in line with the current state-of-the-art. An ISO/IEC 27001-certified Information Security Management System (ISMS) forms the basis for this and is regularly audited by independent parties. We continuously perform risk analyses and continuously improve our security processes to stay one step ahead of new threats. NIS2 follows a risk-based approach, which is why our measures are always tailored to the current threat landscape and our role as an essential entity.
Strict incident reporting & contingency plans: Should security incidents occur despite all preventive measures, our incident response and emergency management come into effect. In line with NIS2, we are obliged to report certain security incidents classified as significant or substantial to the BSI within 24 hours, to submit a detailed follow-up report within 72 hours, and to provide a final report with full analysis and remedial actions within one month. Our alerting and crisis processes are designed to ensure that we remain capable of rapidly responding. At the same time, contingency plans, backup strategies and regular emergency drills ensure that we can reliably maintain our operations and by your critical services, even in a crisis.
Responsible corporate governance & awareness: NIS2 makes it clear that the management is personally responsible for cybersecurity. Our Executive Board regularly oversees and steers the implementation of all mandated security measures. In addition, we provide regular information security training for our employees and foster a strong security culture within the company. Everyone at ATOSS understands their individual responsibility for protecting your data, from the development of our software through to day-to-day cloud operations.
