Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
This project has significant implications for SMEs across the EU. Many of these companies provide ICT services to regulated entities but may lack the resources to navigate complex, overlapping regulatory regimes. By providing a unified interpretation of NIS2 and DORA obligations, the project reduces uncertainty and helps SMEs avoid redundant compliance efforts.
Impact on society:
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
Yes. The initiative is centred on the development of a new Technical Report within ETSI CYBER, aimed at clarifying the joint application of NIS2 and DORA. A formal proposal has been submitted and approved as a work item under ETSI CYBER’s work programme.
Value of Research
My work aims to rationalise the resulting compliance efforts through a dedicated Technical Report (TR) under ETSI CYBER. This report will help reduce legal ambiguity, support standardisation across sectors, and ensure proportional and efficient compliance.
