Public service continuity
We identify the processes and systems that need to remain functional during an incident.
For local public administration
NIS2 and cybersecurity for local authorities
We help municipalities, local councils, county councils, intercommunity associations and local public institutions assess whether NIS2/OUG 155/2024 may apply to them and understand the cybersecurity measures needed for digital public services, IT suppliers, data protection and operational continuity.
Not all local authorities are automatically subject to NIS2. That is why the correct first step is an applicability and exposure assessment.

For local public administration
Why this matters for local public administration
Municipalities, local councils, county councils and subordinated institutions increasingly rely on digital systems: local taxes, registry, urban planning, accounting, institutional email, websites, cloud services, third-party applications and citizen-facing platforms.
A cybersecurity incident can block institutional activity, affect public services, compromise personal data and create operational, legal and reputational pressure. ConformityAgent helps management and technical staff quickly understand exposure and realistic readiness steps.
IT suppliers and contracts
We review dependencies on maintenance companies, hosting, cloud, applications and managed services.
Data and access
We check how accounts, passwords, application access, email and institutional documents are managed.
Incident readiness
We assess whether clear rules exist for reporting, backup, recovery and communication during a cyberattack.
Local authorities
Who this service is for
This page is for local authorities and local structures that want to clarify direct or indirect NIS2/OUG 155/2024 obligations and reduce cybersecurity risk.
Municipalities, towns and communes
Local councils and county councils
Intercommunity development associations and shared local structures
Departments, public services and subordinated institutions
Local public operators: water, sewerage, transport, heating and urban services
Local institutions with digital citizen services
Authorities working with external IT suppliers, cloud, hosting or specialized applications
Assessment and readiness
What we can do for your authority
NIS2/OUG 155/2024 applicability assessment
We analyze the entity type, services provided, digital infrastructure, subordinated operators, IT suppliers and possible exposure to NIS2 requirements.
Rapid inventory of services and critical systems
We identify applications, servers, accounts, cloud platforms, websites, email, accounting systems and important digital workflows.
Cybersecurity risk analysis
We evaluate risks such as ransomware, phishing, account compromise, missing backup, uncontrolled access, supplier dependency and lack of incident procedures.
Baseline measure review
We review basic measures such as MFA, backup, access policies, updates, antivirus/EDR, incident procedures, staff awareness and clear responsibilities.
Management report
We deliver a clear report for the mayor, deputy mayor, general secretary, financial director, IT responsible person or institutional management.
Prioritized remediation plan
We propose concrete actions grouped by priority: urgent measures, short-term measures and recommendations for future budgeting or procurement.
A simple, documented and easy-to-follow process
1
Initial discussion
We establish the type of institution, services provided and level of digitalization.
2
Guided questionnaire
We collect information about systems, suppliers, access, backup, incidents, policies and digital public services.
3
Applicability and exposure analysis
We check whether there are indicators of NIS2/OUG 155/2024 applicability and which areas should be addressed first.
4
Readiness report
We prepare a clear report covering current level, main risks and remediation recommendations.
5
Clarification discussion
We explain the results to management and the technical team in practical language, without unnecessary jargon.
Concrete output
What you receive
- NIS2/OUG 155/2024 assessment report for the local authority
- Map of digital services and risk areas
- List of relevant IT suppliers and dependencies
- Assessment of baseline cybersecurity measures
- Prioritized remediation recommendations
- Checklist for management and the IT responsible person
- Recommendations for policies, procedures, backup, access and incident response
- Optional support for organizing compliance evidence and documentation
Important clarification
We do not state that all municipalities, local councils or local institutions are automatically subject to NIS2. In practice, applicability depends on the type of entity, services provided, digital infrastructure, regional or local role, suppliers used and possible sector obligations.
That is why our service starts with an applicability and exposure assessment. The goal is to give you a clear picture before investing in documentation, audits or costly technical projects.
Hospitals and healthcare
Do you coordinate hospitals or healthcare services?
If a local authority, county council or subordinated institution coordinates hospitals or healthcare services, these should be assessed separately. The healthcare sector has specific risks and requirements: continuity of medical services, protection of patient data, clinical systems, connected equipment and specialized suppliers.
When it makes sense to start
Good fit if
- You provide digital services for citizens
- You work with external IT suppliers
- You use critical applications for taxes, registry, urban planning or accounting
- You have experienced incidents, phishing or email issues
- You need a clear management view
- You are preparing a cybersecurity or digitalization budget
- You coordinate subordinated institutions or local operators
Not the right expectation if
- This is not a full technical penetration test
- It does not replace specialized legal advice
- It does not promise instant certification
- It does not assume all local authorities are automatically subject to NIS2
- It does not require technical procurement before risk analysis
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Are all municipalities required to comply with NIS2?
This should not be assumed. Some local authorities or structures may have direct or indirect obligations depending on their services, digital infrastructure, role and possible sector obligations. The first step is an applicability assessment.
If we are not directly in scope, is the assessment still useful?
Yes. Even outside a direct obligation, municipalities and local institutions manage data, systems and public services that need protection. The assessment provides a practical view of risks and baseline measures.
Do we need an internal IT department?
No. We can work with the internal responsible person, external IT supplier or management team. The goal is to clarify the real situation and propose feasible next steps.
What information should we prepare?
Usually: the main applications, IT suppliers, email administration, backups, websites, existing policies, known incidents and people responsible for IT systems.
Will we receive a report for management?
Yes. The report is written in management-friendly language and includes conclusions, risks, priorities and concrete recommendations.
Do you also provide technical implementation?
ConformityAgent provides assessment, structuring, recommendations and documentation support. For specialized technical implementation, we can work with existing suppliers or technical partners depending on the situation.
Local authorities
Start with an applicability and readiness assessment
For local public administration, the safest first step is a short documented analysis: what services you provide, which systems you use, which suppliers support you and which risks should be addressed first.
