How do you ensure efficient and lasting compliance management?

The deadlines for NIS2 and other security standards are not an endpoint.

Compliance is a continuous process. The greatest challenge is not achieving it, but maintaining it over time.

The Proximus NXT Cybersecurity Report 2025 shows that one in four Belgian companies faced a cyber incident last year. And more than forty percent expect even more attacks or greater impact this year. Cybersecurity therefore remains a top priority, especially with new regulations such as NIS2.

NIS2 imposes stricter rules and has a broader scope. Just like DORA, it forces companies to improve their security and ensure the continuity of critical services. This requires significant effort, but the real challenge comes afterwards: how do you maintain the processes and measures you’ve put in place?

That’s where a Governance, Risk and Compliance framework — or GRC — is indispensable.

Such a framework brings together all dimensions of security, avoids blind spots, and ensures that you keep evolving with changing risks and regulations. With a well-integrated GRC framework, you remain compliant and achieve your strategic goals.

Compliance itself is gaining importance. Where it once revolved mainly around legal obligations, today companies see it as a basic requirement for collaboration. Customers and suppliers expect you to be compliant. It has even become a differentiator for winning deals, in Europe and beyond.

Organizations often choose standards such as ISO 27001 or the Cyberfundamentals framework from the Belgian Centre for Cybersecurity. But the challenge lies in the follow-up. Many companies bring in temporary expertise to obtain a certificate. Once those consultants leave, the internal knowledge to ensure ongoing compliance is lacking. As a result, the maturity that was built up often disappears within a year and a half to two years.

To address that problem, Proximus NXT launched Governance, Risk and Compliance as a Service — GRCaaS.

With GRCaaS, the compliance process is largely automated. Risks are scored based on impact and likelihood. This score determines the urgency and the measures required. Follow-up takes place automatically, and the platform shows whether those measures have actually been implemented.

Up to 95 percent of controls are monitored this way. Dependence on external expertise decreases. Your security officer stays in control and can, if needed, make adjustments together with our experts.

The benefits are clear. Your IT and security teams spend less time on follow-up and gain space to focus on their core tasks. Your business is unburdened, because compliance is a shared responsibility.

On top of that, GRCaaS simplifies audit preparation, thanks to clear dashboards for everyone in the organization — from CEO to IT staff. And all of this without major changes to processes or structures.

The essence is clear: the biggest challenge is not reaching compliance, but sustaining it.

With GRCaaS, Proximus NXT helps you achieve that goal in a sustainable and efficient way.
