Audit-Ready Evidence
for NIS2 Compliance
Replace manual reporting with audit-ready evidence.
Stop reconstructing decisions from spreadsheets, screenshots, and email trails. Sphereon generates verifiable evidence of authorizations and data exchanges so your organization can prove exactly what happened, when it happened, and on what basis.
Sphereon helps organisations prove what happened, not reconstruct it afterwards.
The end of the audit reconstruction exercise.
Most organizations prepare for audits by hunting down logs, exporting reports, and piecing together email threads after the fact. This manual reconstruction is slow, inconsistent, and weak under regulatory scrutiny.
Sphereon VDX changes this paradigm. Instead of relying on static reports, we generate an immutable, cryptographically verifiable trail at the exact moment an authorization or data exchange occurs. You stop narrating compliance and start proving it.
Integrated proof, not a rip-and-replace.
Sphereon sits on top of your existing ERP, IAM, and GRC platforms. We capture the evidence of who approved what, which policy was applied, and what data was exchanged, feeding that verifiable trust directly back into the workflows your teams already use.
What verifiable evidence looks like in practice.
- Verified Authorizations
Prove exactly who was authorized, under which mandate or role, at the precise moment the transaction occurred.
- Policy-Linked Decisions
Show the specific rule or policy that was applied when a decision was made, rather than just recording the final outcome.
- Independent Verification
Give regulators, auditors, and counterparties cryptographic evidence they can validate independently, without requiring them to blindly trust your internal screenshots.
How verifiable evidence maps to NIS2 technical requirements.
The following table demonstrates how the architecture converts high-level regulatory pressure points into specific, auditable technical outcomes.
| NIS2 pressure point | Sphereon control contribution | Evidence retained |
|---|---|---|
| Supply chain security (Art. 21) | Replaces manual questionnaires with cryptographic proofs for suppliers, mandates, and certifications. | Requested proof, trust context, verification result, and policy outcome. |
| Incident reporting (Art. 23) | Enables 24/72-hour reporting by preserving a verifiable chronology of authorizations and access events. | Timeline of proof requests, accepted/rejected evidence, and affected business decisions. |
| Risk management (Art. 21) | Shifts from ad-hoc exceptions to repeatable, policy-driven decisions that are easier to test and explain. | Consistent decision records and verifiable audit trails for internal or external review. |
| Cryptography (Art. 21) | Integrates with QTSP and HSM providers to ensure key custody is handled in regulated, high-assurance environments. | Signing context, key provider paths, and associated business event metadata. |
Built for the Duty of Care (Zorgplicht)
Under NIS2, broad statements of intent do not satisfy the Duty of Care. You must demonstrate that controls were applied and decisions were justified. Sphereon gives you the structured, traceable, and mathematically undeniable evidence (*) required to satisfy national regulators.
(*) The verifiable audit path: Every transaction terminates in the audit-ready operational evidence layer. Unlike standard application logs, this captures the full context: the specific request, the trust source accepted, and the policy logic that produced the result. This creates a cryptographically verifiable trail designed specifically for NIS2 and eIDAS 2.0 regulatory scrutiny.
