Preparing for NIS2?
Start with one simple question: Who owns your data path?
As organisations prepare for the NIS2 Directive, cybersecurity is becoming about more than firewalls, encryption and strong passwords. It is also about understanding the digital supply chain and reducing unnecessary dependencies.
One question that may be overlooked is:
Does your telemetry system require operational data to pass through the manufacturer’s cloud before it reaches you?
Cloud-based telemetry platforms offer many advantages and are the right choice for many applications. However, they also introduce another service provider into your operational infrastructure, something organisations may wish to consider as part of their cybersecurity and risk management strategy.
At YDOC, we have deliberately taken a different approach.
Our data loggers communicate directly, using secure TLS-encrypted connections, with the destination you choose. Whether that’s an MQTT broker, HTTP(S) endpoint, FTP(S) server or your own on-premises infrastructure, your operational data remains under your control.
Why customers appreciate this approach
✔ No mandatory vendor cloud
✔ No vendor lock-in
✔ Freedom to choose your own data platform
✔ Reduced dependency on third-party operational services
✔ Data sovereignty by design
✔ Secure boot, encrypted and digitally signed firmware updates, TLS communication and certificate validation
We believe telemetry hardware should give organisations the freedom to integrate with their existing IT infrastructure, not require them to adopt a proprietary ecosystem.
Whether you’re preparing for NIS2, strengthening your cybersecurity posture, or simply looking for greater flexibility, it’s worth asking one simple question: Who owns your data path?
