NIS2 Quality Mark is now called NIS2 Supply Chain

Last week, the name of the NIS2 Quality Mark was officially changed to NIS2 Supply Chain (NIS2 SC). This change feels logical, as the focus is precisely where NIS2 often causes the most friction in practice: the chain. This is a name change, not a change in substance.

From QM to SC: the new levels of NIS2 Supply Chain

The NIS2 Quality Mark had three levels:

  • QM10
  • QM20
  • QM30

 

That structure will remain in place, but will be called NIS2 Supply Chain:

  • SC10
  • SC20
  • SC30

 

The structure and distinction between the levels remain unchanged. It is still a matter of demonstrability, appropriate to the role your organization plays in the chain. You can read about what these levels entail here.

 

Why NIS2 Supply Chain?

The new name makes it clearer what the certificate is intended for. NIS2 is not just about individual organizations, but rather about the dependencies between companies. Suppliers, IT partners, and service providers are increasingly being asked questions about their security levels.

 

With the NIS2 Supply Chain certificate, you can demonstrate that you take NIS2 seriously and that you understand and fulfill your responsibilities in the chain.

 

Who is the NIS2 Supply Chain certificate intended for?

The certificate is suitable for companies and organizations of all sizes. Whether you fall directly under NIS2 or are a supplier to an organization that does, demonstrable cybersecurity is increasingly expected. This certificate helps to make that conversation concrete, whether with customers, chain partners, or other stakeholders.
