The partnership combines technical expertise and legal know-how for the comprehensive protection of companies
Butzbach, May 20, 2025 - RIEDEL Networks, provider of tailor-made IT security and network services, and CLARIUS.LEGAL, a law firm specializing in legal outsourcing, legal tech, compliance and data protection, have entered into a strategic partnership to support companies in implementing the NIS 2 Directive. The focus is on a complete IT examination which is carried out together with the company's IT and compliance team. The security audit of the IT infrastructure identifies technical vulnerabilities and takes legal requirements into account at the same time.
"Our partnership with CLARIUS.LEGAL is an important step towards offering companies in the EU a holistic and practical solution for compliance with the NIS 2 Directive. With our technical expertise and the legal know-how of CLARIUS.LEGAL, we create the highest level of security for our customers - with clear structures and documented processes complemented by legal compliance," says Michael Martens, CEO of RIEDEL Networks.
The NIS 2 Directive obliges companies in the EU to review and adapt their IT security measures. The NIS-2 compliance check offered by RIEDEL Networks and CLARIUS.LEGAL is based on the methods of the BSI IT-Grundschutz compendium. NIS-2 compliance is assessed on a sound basis and affected companies are guided through the entire implementation process - from legal risk analysis and the implementation of organizational measures to technical security assessment and continuous monitoring of systems.
A central component of the technical analysis is the RED-Skull Vulnerability Assessment Service from RIEDEL Networks, a streamlined and automated solution for detecting vulnerabilities and providing well-founded security analyses. Using state-of-the-art scanning technology and a pre-configured hardware appliance, the service enables a seamless process with no disruption to operations - from preparation through to structured reporting. The test report is provided in two formats. An easy-to-understand report aimed at managers with no prior technical knowledge, and a detailed report containing technical insights and specific recommendations for action for direct implementation and elimination of weaknesses by the IT team.
"The requirements of NIS-2 are complex - companies need more than just legal advice. Together with RIEDEL Networks, we can offer a solution that seamlessly combines technical and legal IT security," explains Dr. Arnt Glienke, LL.M., CCP, Head of Compliance & Data Protection at CLARIUS.LEGAL.
After completing the IT examination, companies receive a complete overview of the status of their security strategy. The detailed certificate with an overall and partial assessment of the audited areas not only serves as recognized proof for cyber risk insurers, but also forms a sound basis for the ongoing optimization of security measures. Through the targeted identification and assessment of vulnerabilities, the service helps to avoid legal violations and minimizes the risk of fines and liability claims.
CLARIUS.LEGAL is a new generation law firm - we combine legal expertise with state-of-the-art technology. Since 2015, we have been helping companies to structure legal processes efficiently, use resources flexibly and meet regulatory requirements reliably.
