NIS2 compliance for all identities used in healthcare

How Crayonic supports NIS2 compliance in healthcare:

1) Strong authentication (Art. 21 – risk management)

• FIDO2 + X.509 + biometrics → phishing-resistant MFA

• Eliminates passwords → mitigates credential theft, replay, and phishing

2) Access control & least privilege

• Device-bound credentials + role-based identities

• No shared smartcards/passwords → per-user accountability

3) Continuous access validation

• Presence-based login/logout → prevents unauthorized session persistence (“walk-away”)

• Aligns with Zero Trust / continuous verification principles

4) Secure credential storage

• Keys stored in secure element (hardware-bound)

• Prevents extraction, cloning, or remote compromise

5) Auditability & traceability

• Each action tied to a unique, verified identity

• Supports forensic traceability and incident investigation

6) Reduction of human-factor risk

• Removes password reuse, sticky notes, shared accounts

• Simplifies secure behavior in high-pressure clinical workflows

7) Secure communications & incident response

• Trusted identity channel for secure alerts, Code Blue, incident notifications

• Supports operational resilience requirements

8) Integration with existing security stack

• Works with Microsoft Entra ID / AD / SIEM (e.g., Sentinel)

• Enables centralized monitoring, policy enforcement, and reporting

9) Compliance with EU identity frameworks

• Alignment with eIDAS2 / EUDI Wallet principles → future-proof regulatory positioning
