BIO2, ISO 27001, NIS2 — meet the Baseline Information Security Government requirements
Information security in government
Government organizations manage enormous amounts of sensitive data from citizens and businesses. The Baseline Information Security Government (BIO2) is the mandatory framework for all levels of government — from municipalities and provinces to ministries and executive agencies.
With the introduction of NIS2, requirements for digital resilience are further tightened. Government organizations must not only be compliant, but also demonstrably so for regulators and citizens.
