NIS2 & BSI baseline protection: Securely achieving compliance with automated IT asset management

As the deadline for implementing the NIS2 directive in October 2025 approaches, the pressure on companies and public institutions to act is increasing. The new legal requirements demand far-reaching and verifiable security measures. At the same time, compliance with the BSI IT baseline protection remains the authoritative standard for a security architecture in German-speaking countries. The common basis for compliance with both sets of regulations is a complete, up-to-date and fully documented overview of the entire IT landscape.

FCS Fair Computer Systems GmbH, a German specialist for IT management software, is positioning its Asset.Desk solution as a central instrument for systematically fulfilling these combined compliance requirements. The software provides the necessary data basis and procedural control to demonstrably implement the requirements of NIS 2, BSI basic protection and the GDPR.

Systematically fulfill the core requirements of NIS 2 and BSI baseline protection

Both sets of regulations require organizations to take appropriate technical and organizational measures and document their compliance. Asset.desk provides support in key areas:

* Complete asset inventory: through agent-based and agentless scans, Asset.Desk automatically captures all devices and systems. This creates the required 360-degree view, which is fundamental both for risk analysis in accordance with NIS 2 and for structural analysis in BSI baseline protection.
* Audit-proof process and lifecycle documentation: every change to an asset is automatically logged in compliance with GoBD. The entire life cycle of a device - from procurement to certified disposal - becomes traceable. This seamless documentation is not only crucial for audits, but also a central component of the GDPR, for example when tracking devices with personal data and verifying their deletion.
* Proactive vulnerability and license management: The KPMG-certified module detects unauthorized or outdated software. The active management of software vulnerabilities is a core requirement of BSI basic protection and risk management in accordance with NIS 2.

More than just compliance: strategic advantages through data sovereignty

In addition to compliance with relevant security standards, Asset.Desk supports the efficient design of IT processes and the reduction of operational costs. The software is generally operated on-premises, which means that all sensitive inventory and personnel data remains entirely within the company's own IT infrastructure. This makes it much easier to comply with the requirements of the GDPR. A web interface is also available for specific use cases, via which selected functions can also be used decentrally.

Seamless integration into existing system landscapes such as Active Directory or helpdesk systems turns Asset.Desk into a central data hub and increases the efficiency of the entire IT organization.

To help IT managers prepare for the new requirements, FCS Fair Computer Systems offers further information and personal live demos of the software.
