Why NIS2 Will Change How European Businesses Think About Cybersecurity
The NIS2 directive is more than another compliance checkbox. It introduces personal liability for senior management, broadens the scope to thousands of previously unregulated companies, and demands incident reporting within 24 hours. Most mid-market organisations aren't ready — and the clock is ticking.

Most consultancies send a team of juniors, bill for overheads you don't need, and leave you with a stack of PDFs nobody reads. We do things differently.
Cubic Consulting is a boutique firm led by a senior practitioner with hands-on CISO experience across Fortune 500 companies, financial services, and critical infrastructure. When you engage us, you work directly with that person — not a project manager relaying messages.
Large firms charge premium rates and staff your project with people who are still learning the basics. We skip that model entirely. You get a single senior partner who already knows what good looks like, because they've built it before — multiple times, across industries, under real pressure.
Based in the Benelux and working across the EU, we bring native fluency in English, French, German, and Luxembourgish. No language barriers when presenting to boards, talking to regulators, or coaching technical teams.
The result? Better outcomes, faster timelines, and a fraction of the cost. That's not a sales pitch — it's how a boutique model is supposed to work.
How Can Cubic Consulting Help Your Business?
Security isn't a product you install — it's a capability you build. We help at every stage.
Assess & Understand
We map your current posture — what's working, what's exposed, and what regulators expect. No 200-page reports, just a clear picture of where you stand and where the real risks are.
Build & Implement
Strategy without execution is a PowerPoint. We write the policies, configure the controls, train the teams, and run the projects — from ISO 27001 to M365 hardening to NIS2.
Lead & Sustain
Security needs ongoing leadership. Whether it's a vCISO managing your programme, board reporting, vendor oversight, or incident response — we stay in the chair as long as you need.
Not sure where to start? That's fine — most of our clients weren't either.

Cyber threats don't always look like Hollywood hacking scenes. These are the real-world risks that catch businesses off guard.
Over 90% of breaches start with a phishing email. Today's campaigns use AI-generated content, compromised supplier accounts, and pixel-perfect login pages designed to fool smart people under time pressure.
Security Awareness TrainingModern ransomware groups steal data before locking systems. Even with backups, they threaten to publish client data. The problem extends to regulatory exposure, reputational damage, and breach notification under GDPR and NIS2.
Build a Cybersecurity StrategySolarWinds and MOVEit showed what happens when attackers compromise a trusted vendor. Your security perimeter extends to every third party with access to your data. Most companies lack a structured way to manage that risk.
3rd Party Risk ManagementExposed storage, overly permissive admin roles, disabled MFA — these aren't sophisticated attacks, they're configuration mistakes. M365 alone has hundreds of security settings, and most tenants run on defaults that leave significant gaps.
Harden your Microsoft 365Not every insider threat is malicious. Employees forwarding files to personal email, using shadow IT, or misconfiguring shared drives can cause the same damage as a deliberate leak. Without proper controls and monitoring, you won't spot it in time.
Establish Governance & ControlsNIS2 introduces personal liability for senior management. GDPR fines keep growing. DORA applies strict rules to financial services. Regulators are actively enforcing, and "we didn't know" stopped being acceptable years ago.
