Cyber Risk First: Why NIS2 Should Begin With Cyber Risk

Notis Iliopoulos, EVP of MRC

October 6, 2026

A gap assessment can show what is missing. A risk-based approach shows what matters most, what should come first and why.

Access OBRELA's Cyber Risk First whitepaper to explore why NIS2 should begin with a quantified cyber risk assessment rather than a checklist.

Learn how a measurable risk baseline can support prioritisation, proportionality, control-effectiveness assessment and management oversight - and what needs to happen after the first assessment to keep the risk picture current.

What you will learn:

  • Why NIS2 should start with risk, not gaps
  • How quantified risk supports prioritisation
  • How to assess control effectiveness
  • Why management needs a comparable risk picture over time
  • How to move from assessment to continuous risk management
