Frequently asked questions
Rapid7 supports NIS2 compliance by providing a unified platform that combines exposure management (CTEM) with detection and response (SIEM/MDR). This enables organizations to identify, prioritize, validate, and remediate risk while also detecting and responding to incidents covering the core requirements of Article 21 (risk management) and Article 23 (incident reporting).
Rapid7 helps meet Article 21 through:
- Surface Command (ASM) delivering asset and attack surface visibility
- Vulnerability management and cloud security delivering risk identification and secure configuration
- Exposure Command delivering risk prioritization and continuous monitoring
- Vector Command delivering validation of real-world exploitability
Together, these capabilities enable continuous resilience, risk assessment and reduction, not just point-in-time compliance.
Rapid7 enables faster reporting by:
- SIEM / Incident Command deliver rapid detection and investigation
- MDR supports 24/7 security monitoring and incident validation
- Threat Intelligence provides enriched context for faster decision-making
- DFIR capabilities supports root cause analysis and reporting support
This reduces time to detect, validate, investigate, and report incidents in line with NIS2 deadlines.
Rapid7 provides visibility into third-party and external risk through:
- Surface Command discovers external assets and dependencies
- Cloud security provides assessment of public cloud and third-party exposures
- Vector Command helps validate attack paths involving external systems
This helps organizations identify and manage supply chain risk, a key NIS2 requirement.
Rapid7 supports secure-by-design by:
- Cloud security supports shift-left and cloud infrastructure checks including IaC scanning.
- Vulnerability management delivers continuous on-prem vulnerability detection and remediation
- Surface Command provides external attack surface visibility
- Vector Command helps validate exploitable weaknesses
This ensures systems are built securely and remain secure over time.
NIS2 requires proof that controls work, not just that they exist. Rapid7 provides:
- Exposure Command that delivers continuous risk scoring and trend analysis
- Vector Command validates exploitable risk
- SIEM / MDR supports detection and response performance metrics
- Reporting and dashboards provide audit-ready evidence
This enables organizations to demonstrate continuous effectiveness of security measures to regulators.
