Passwork NIS2 efficiency guide: Save your team hours before the 2026 audit
Passwork pitches its password manager as a faster path to NIS2 Article 21 access, MFA, and audit evidence.
Help Net Security published a Passwork guide for EU organizations facing NIS2 documentation reviews in the second half of 2026. It argues Article 21 access-control, MFA, and credential-hygiene duties can be met with the manager’s TOTP, passkeys, security keys, SAML SSO, and client-side AES-256 encryption. ENISA’s 2025 NIS Investments report is cited for a 34% severe IAM skills shortage. The piece claims AD/LDAP onboarding takes under an hour to about two weeks, versus 12–18 month IAM projects, and is vendor marketing rather than an official advisory.
