Your regulators want proof.
Not promises.
NIS2 is law. DORA is enforced. We build and run the security & compliance operating model so you can prove readiness without building a full internal team.

You probably have security tools.
Nobody’s running the programme.
You bought the firewall. You deployed EDR. Maybe you even hired a CISO. But when the regulator asks for evidence (policies, risk registers, test results, incident logs, board reports) you’re scrambling. Because having tools and proving they work are two different problems.
NIS2 became law in January 2025. DORA has been enforceable since the same month. Your financial services clients are now required to audit their suppliers, and that means you. The penalties aren’t theoretical: up to €10 million or 2% of global turnover. And management is personally accountable.
Most mid-size companies don’t need another security vendor. They need someone to run the machine: take the regulatory requirements, turn them into an operating model, implement the controls, and produce the evidence continuously, not once a year before an audit.
What changes when we run it.
Compliance you can prove
Audit-ready evidence packs: policies, registers, logs, test results, metrics, with full traceability to regulatory requirements. When the auditor comes, you’re ready.
Clear ownership and accountability
Every control has an owner. Every risk has a treatment plan. Every exception is documented. No more “PDF compliance.” A living operating model with real accountability.
Lower cyber and third-party risk
Continuous security hygiene: vulnerability management, patching discipline, access controls, plus structured supplier oversight. Reduce operational risk, not just regulatory risk.
Predictable cost, less internal burden
A subscription model that replaces the need to build a full internal security and compliance team. Senior expertise on demand. Scale up or down as your regulatory scope evolves.
Three phases. Same practitioner mindset.
You probably need compliance support if...
Your board has asked who owns NIS2 or DORA compliance, and nobody had a clear answer.
You’ve been told you need ISO 27001 or SOC 2 to win a contract, but have no security function.
A recent audit flagged governance or security gaps you can’t close internally.
You’re a critical ICT provider to financial institutions and your clients are asking hard questions.
Your current “security” is one person doing five jobs, and they’re about to leave.
You’ve been quoted €300K+ by a Big 4 firm for a compliance programme and it feels disproportionate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Compliance as a Service means Epity runs your security and compliance programme as an ongoing, subscription-based service — the operating model, the controls, and the evidence — instead of you building a full internal team. Senior security and compliance leadership is embedded in your organisation, every control has an owner, and auditors and regulators receive evidence packs they actually accept: policies, registers, logs, test results, and metrics.
The core focus is NIS2 and DORA — the two EU regimes driving most board-level security questions in financial services — plus supporting frameworks such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2 where clients need certification to win contracts. Every engagement starts by assessing which regulations actually apply to your organisation, so you invest in the controls that matter rather than a generic checklist.
Start with the Readiness Check — Epity's 10-working-day entry engagement. You get a regulatory scope assessment (NIS2, DORA, and other applicable frameworks), a gap matrix showing where you fall short, a prioritised 90-day roadmap with effort estimates, and an incident reporting playbook. There is no commitment beyond the Readiness Check itself, and its output is yours regardless of what you do next.
After the Readiness Check, an Implementation Sprint of 4–10 weeks takes you to an audit-ready minimum: asset and service inventory, baseline hardening including MFA and privileged access controls, vulnerability and patch management with defined SLAs, verified backup and restore testing, logging and EDR baseline, incident response capability tested in a tabletop exercise, and a supplier risk register. Ongoing compliance is then maintained through the managed subscription service.
Tools are not a programme. Most mid-size companies own firewalls, EDR, and backup software, but nobody owns the operating model: who reviews vulnerabilities, who produces audit evidence, who reports to the board, who manages supplier risk. Regulators want proof, not promises. Compliance as a Service adds the senior ownership and continuous evidence production on top of the tools you already have.
A Big 4 engagement typically delivers an assessment and a roadmap, then leaves implementation and ongoing operation to you — usually with a junior-heavy team and enterprise-scale overhead. Epity is built for mid-size organisations: founding partners with operational banking backgrounds run the programme itself — implementing controls, producing evidence, reporting to your board — on a subscription sized to your organisation, not to a global framework rollout.
