NIS2-Compliant Timing Solutions for Essential Services

Strengthen Your Cybersecurity Position with Resilient Timing

The NIS2 Directive establishes stringent cybersecurity requirements across the EU. Essential service operators must implement robust security measures that include protecting timing infrastructure from emerging cyber threats.

Hoptroff delivers certified, secure timing solutions that strengthen your operational resilience and meet NIS2 compliance obligations.

Why Timing Security Is Critical for NIS2

Timing infrastructure is a significant cybersecurity vulnerability:

🛡 Compromised timing systems can disrupt essential service operations

🛡 Cyberattacks targeting time servers are becoming more sophisticated

🛡 Essential service operators must demonstrate operational resilience

🛡 Secure timing infrastructure is necessary for NIS2 compliance

NIS2 regulation requires robust cybersecurity solutions across the EU to:

✅ Guarantee comprehensive security measures across the continent’s critical systems

✅ Maintain operational continuity during cybersecurity incidents

✅ Develop rapid incident response and recovery capabilities

✅ Ensure essential services remain protected against evolving threats
