Strengthen Cyber Resilience: NIS2, DORA, and CER Compliance
NIS2, DORA, and CER impose specific obligations on how critical entities and financial institutions manage operational communication during cyber incidents. Regulators expect tested out-of-band communication channels, ICT incident response capabilities, and governance documentation - not a plan to configure communication tools under crisis conditions. Sanket provides the pre-deployed, encrypted out-of-band communication layer these frameworks require.
DORA-aligned alternative ICT communication channel
NIS2 Article 21 incident management support
Pre-deployed and tested before incidents occur
Audit-ready deployment documentation for supervisory examination
The shift
Before Sanket vs. After Sanket
Before - current state risks
DORA Article 11-12 compliant: pre-deployed alternative communication arrangement for ICT disruptions
NIS2 Article 21 support: encrypted communication for incident management and crisis coordination
CER-aligned resilience: operational communication that works independently of primary infrastructure
Out-of-band channel operates when email, Microsoft 365, and primary collaboration systems are offline
After - with Sanket
Encrypted incident response communication protects sensitive forensic and legal content from threat actor access
Audit-ready deployment documentation supports regulatory reporting and supervisory examination
Regular testing capability: exercises and drills can verify out-of-band channel readiness before an incident
Built for this
The architecture that makes cyber resilience communication for NIS2, DORA, and CER obligations work
Cyber resilience regulation is not just about technology controls - it is about governance documentation that proves the controls exist and have been tested. Sanket's deployment generates the documentation trail (pre-deployment configuration, user enrolment records, exercise logs) needed to demonstrate NIS2 and DORA compliance posture to supervisory authorities.
Zero-Knowledge Server
The security requirement for cyber resilience communication is independence: the communication channel must not share infrastructure, identity, or dependency with the primary systems that a cyber incident might affect. Sanket's separate deployment architecture, independent authentication, and end-to-end encryption provide this independence by design.
Signal Protocol E2E
Open-standard cryptography with Double Ratchet key derivation. Each message session generates unique ephemeral keys.
Admin Governance
Administrators control identity, groups, devices, retention, and access revocation - properties consumer apps cannot offer.
Sovereign Deployment
Sanket.Work is deployed as a pre-configured out-of-band channel for incident response teams, executive crisis committees, and key operational functions - separate from and independent of primary corporate IT. Sanket.Enterprise provides maximum isolation for systemically important entities requiring on-premise or air-gapped out-of-band communication.
The result
What organisations achieve
Satisfy DORA Article 11-12 and NIS2 Article 21 alternative communication channel requirements with a pre-deployed, tested, encrypted out-of-band platform
Demonstrate cyber resilience governance to supervisory authorities with documented deployment configuration, user enrolment records, and exercise logs
Protect incident response communication from threat actor interception using end-to-end encryption and an independent channel that exists outside the compromised primary environment
Evaluation guide
Questions every buyer should ask
Does the platform satisfy DORA Article 11-12 alternative communication arrangement requirements?
Is the channel truly independent of primary email, Microsoft 365, and corporate SaaS infrastructure?
Is the platform pre-deployed and tested before incidents - not configured under crisis conditions?
Does deployment documentation support NIS2 and DORA supervisory examination evidence requirements?
Does end-to-end encryption protect incident response communication from threat actor interception?
Does the platform support regular exercise and testing of out-of-band communication readiness?
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does Sanket specifically support DORA Article 11 and 12 requirements?
DORA Article 11 requires financial entities to have ICT business continuity plans including alternative communication arrangements. Article 12 requires testing of those plans. Sanket provides the pre-deployed, encrypted out-of-band channel for the Article 11 requirement, and supports regular testing exercises for the Article 12 requirement.
How does Sanket support NIS2 Article 21 incident management obligations?
NIS2 Article 21 requires essential and important entities to have incident handling capabilities including secure communication. Sanket provides an encrypted, out-of-band incident communication channel that is independent of primary infrastructure, supporting the incident response communication requirement.
What documentation does Sanket provide for regulatory examination?
Sanket.Work deployments include configuration documentation covering deployment architecture, authentication approach, user enrolment scope, data residency, and encryption model. This documentation supports the governance evidence required during NIS2, DORA, and CER supervisory examinations.
How often should the out-of-band Sanket channel be tested?
DORA requires ICT continuity plans to be tested at least annually. We recommend quarterly communication exercises using the Sanket out-of-band channel to ensure all key personnel are enrolled, familiar with the platform, and able to communicate effectively during an actual incident.
Does Sanket help with the NIS2 significant incident reporting process?
During a significant incident, Sanket provides a secure channel for the communication required to coordinate the incident assessment and prepare regulatory notifications. The out-of-band channel ensures this sensitive coordination does not flow through primary systems that may be compromised.
