Who it's for

Written for the people who answer the auditor.

NIS2, DORA and PCI-DSS 4.0 converge on cryptography. The same evidence answers all three, provided you know which one you will be asked for.

CISOs

Know which themes the next audit will spend its time on, and show up with a trajectory instead of a spreadsheet.

GRC and compliance

Every question traced to its article (NIS2 Art. 21, DORA RTS Art. 7, PCI 12.3.3) and to the exact evidence that closes it.

PKI and Ops teams

Three concrete questions to ask the team each week, per theme, to find the gaps before the auditor does.

Inside

Five themes, twenty-seven questions, one scorecard.

1

Policy

Do you have a written cryptography policy that names algorithms, is reviewed, and has an owner? Questions 01 to 05.

2

Inventory

The most-failed theme: certificates, keys, protocols, declared scope and dependencies. Questions 06 to 12.

3

Compliance grading

Does what you run match what you wrote, and what was your posture last quarter? Questions 13 to 18.

4

Remediation

Prioritisation, owners, verification in production, rotation, post-quantum plan. Questions 19 to 23.

5

Evidence and reporting

Can you prove it, for a given date, without a project? The theme that decides how the audit ends. Questions 24 to 27.

Your scorecard

All 27 questions on one page, ticked Have, Partial or Missing. Anything Partial in themes 2, 3 and 5 is where the audit will spend its time.

Twenty-seven questions. One scorecard. Before the auditor.
