Mastering regulatory and contractual complexity — with the VamiSec IMS framework.
How companies steer NIS2, DORA, AI Act, CRA & GDPR in an integrated, scalable, and audit-ready way. One framework. One tool. Many regulations and standards.
An integrated management system from structure to delivery — regulations change, Vami IMS stays.
One framework. One tool. Many regulations and standards.
European regulations such as NIS2, DORA, the AI Act, the Cyber Resilience Act, and GDPR don’t require point-in-time measures — they require lasting governance, risk, and steering structures at executive level.
The VamiSec IMS framework consistently translates this regulatory logic into an integrated, tool-supported management system. Instead of treating each rule in isolation, regulatory and contractual requirements are brought together in a single framework.
Architecture beats activism. Integration beats separation. Those who understand regulation as a steering task shape an organization that holds up under real operating conditions — and stands out strategically.
Compliance is shifting from an IT topic to a strategic steering responsibility. With NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act it has reached board level. Companies that steer regulatory and contractual requirements in an integrated way build a structural advantage — over competitors, supervision, investors, and customers in tenders.
Why fragmented compliance fails.
Visible are policies, audits, and certificates — what matters lies underneath. Non-compliance is just the tip: the real problems arise below the surface, in the structures.

Typical symptoms
- Parallel policies for every new regulation
- Separate risk analyses with different results
- Separate audits with redundant evidence
- Triple documentation under slightly different headings
- Rising costs, falling steering capability
Not a deficit of commitment — a deficit of structure.
The answer is not more measures, but stepping up one level: management systems.
Why laws require management systems — not isolated measures.
Regulatory requirements cannot be met by isolated measures, only by lasting, controllable management systems. Standards such as ISO/IEC 27001, 42001, and IEC 62443 operationalize these systems — auditable, certifiable, scalable.
Why NIS2, DORA, AI Act & CRA tick the same way structurally.
Behind the different regulations lies a common logic: management responsibility, risk-based steering, evidence of effectiveness, lived processes, and continuous improvement. What’s required is not a new tool — it’s a working management system.
Five regulations, one shared expectation: IT security & compliance at management level.
DORA, NIS2, AI Act, CRA, and GDPR form Europe’s steering framework for IT security, resilience, AI governance, and data protection. The Vami IMS framework addresses all five from a single architecture — instead of five parallel initiatives.
Regulations are hard to integrate — standards solve the problem.
NIS2, DORA, AI Act, CRA, and GDPR have different structures, terminologies, and logics. Direct integration is barely possible. Established management-system standards translate the requirements into a central, unified steering and governance logic.
Fragmented regulation
Different structure, terminology, and logic — direct integration barely possible.
Management systems
Central steering, unified processes, and governance across all requirements.
Integrable standards
Structured, auditable, certifiable — and integrable into a single management system.
The core principle of the VamiSec IMS framework.
Three steps lead from fragmented regulation to integrated steering: mapping → standards → operationalization. The result is an integrated management system with a central view of regulatory and contractual compliance.
Mapping the most important regulations to management systems and standards.
Each regulation is systematically mapped to a primary management system and a certifiable standard. This creates clarity, auditability, and certifiability — instead of parallel compliance silos.
An integrated management system — from structure to delivery.
Strategy, structure, operations, and assurance: every level follows a single logic. Regulations require management systems — not isolated measures. Everything else follows from that.
Unified governance at management level
Consolidated regulatory overview and clear leadership structures.
- Consolidated regulatory view
- Clear roles & escalation paths
- Strategic risk steering
- Compliance as a management responsibility
Integrated framework for regulations and standards
Established ISO/IEC management-system standards as the foundation.
- ISO/IEC 27001 · ISMS
- ISO/IEC 42001 · AIMS
- ISO/IEC 27701 · PIMS
- IEC 62443 · CSMS
- ISO 22301 · BCMS
Central risk and control system
Controls are implemented once and reused multiple times.
- Consolidated risk management
- Common controls
- Harmonized policies
- Clear roles in one system
Unified evidence capability and auditability
Audit readiness becomes a continuous state — not a project.
- Central evidence management
- Continuous monitoring
- Simplified combined audits
- Full traceability
Four levers for sustainable compliance.
The Vami IMS framework turns regulatory complexity into a measurable competitive advantage — for boards, supervision, investors, and customers.
Compliance & evidence
A trust anchor for customers, supervision, and insurers — visible, auditable, measurable.
Central risk view
Consolidated risk steering across all regulatory domains — for management.
Scalable & sustainable
New regulations are integrated — not run in parallel. Scalable in every direction.
Combined audits
Reuse of evidence across all ISO standards — instead of duplicate cost.
An integrated policy structure — multiple regulatory requirements.
Strategic policies, integrated topic policies, and operational processes & SOPs interlock. A single policy hierarchy covers ISMS, AIMS, CSMS, and PIMS at the same time — harmonized, lived, auditable.
27 controls as the common base.
Functions, not regulations. Built once — effective against all requirements. Grouped into five logical clusters for maximum steering capability.
Application security as the foundation for NIS2, DORA, CRA & AI Act.
Web and AI applications generate the central compliance contributions: risk management per NIS2, secure development per CRA, risk minimization per AI Act. OWASP-based pentesting and threat modeling translate technical security into regulatory evidence.
Seven standards. One management system.
Instead of parallel single initiatives, an audit- and certification-ready IMS emerges that systematically consolidates all relevant standards.
ISMS
Information security management — foundation of all cybersecurity regulation.
AIMS
AI management system — operationalizes the duties of the EU AI Act.
CSMS
Cybersecurity management for OT, products, and industrial systems.
PIMS
Privacy management — GDPR-compliant and ISO-certifiable.
Automotive
Cybersecurity engineering for road vehicles and the supply chain.
BCMS
Business continuity — operational resilience per DORA.
IT-Grundschutz
Recognized standard for KRITIS and public administration.
Automotive
De facto requirement for the automotive supply chain.
Customer audits
SLAs, security questionnaires, and contractual duties — integrated.
New regulations
Integrated as a mapping — no new silo, just a new line.
Integrated compliance as an economic lever.
Typical reference scenario: 1,000–2,500 employees, regulated sector, simultaneously affected by NIS2, DORA, AI Act, CRA, and GDPR.
Five phases instead of a big-bang program.
Operational after ~6 months. Certifications follow in the next 6–12 months. Pragmatic, evidence-based, plannable.
Inventory
Understand existing structures, perform inventory.
Governance setup
Define steering and accountabilities.
Integration
Establish common processes, harmonize policies.
Mapping
Map requirements systematically, identify gaps.
Operations & review
Regular reviews, continuous improvement.
When the Vami IMS framework becomes software.
Europe’s first AI-native, agentic GRC platform. Six management systems, OSCAL-aligned controls, a queryable graph — and a conversation that gets the work done. Compliance that doesn’t depend on heroism.
eliminated
instead of 2–5 days
extensible via OSCAL
AI Officer assistant
A language for compliance.
Every regulation, standard, and framework as a machine-readable OSCAL document. No more copy-paste between Word and Excel — audit cycles in days, not months.
Surface toxic combinations.
Controls, risks, processes, assets, evidence, and suppliers in one queryable graph. Cross-domain combinations invisible in silos become the single source of truth here.
Implement once — satisfy many.
Implement an ISO 27001 control once — automatically satisfy NIS2 Art. 21, DORA Art. 9, and your own framework. Combined audits instead of duplicate cost.
One file. Every management system.
A business process is read at the same time as an asset, ROPA entry (Art. 30 GDPR), and high-risk AI use case (Annex III). Six management systems, one record.
Conversational compliance — everywhere.
A CISO, DPO, and AI Officer assistant — embedded in every page and in Microsoft Teams, Slack, email, and mobile. Asks, queries, executes, orchestrates. With audit log and HITL approval.
Compliance posture — published.
AI-generated trust centers and compliance reporting packages. Multi-channel publication via HTML, WordPress, SharePoint, Confluence, and PDF — always up to date, automatically synced.
