ENISA NIS2 Technical Implementation Guidance

Below are its 49 requirements in the framework's own order, and under each one the laws we track that bear on it. Each mapping is our reading that a law bears on a requirement, never a finding that running the requirement meets the law.

Its requirements are written from Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, which the law library holds as a law of its own. That law is left out of the counts below, because read against its own text it would bear on every requirement.
