ISMS Copilot for manufacturing compliance
ISO 27001 for the corporate ISMS, NIS 2 important-entity obligations, and IEC 62443 for the OT side of the factory.
IT and OT: the two halves of manufacturing security
Manufacturing compliance splits in two, and a programme that ignores either half fails an audit. On the IT side sits the corporate information-security world: an ISO 27001 ISMS, and — for many manufacturers — NIS 2, which classifies a large share of the manufacturing sector as important entities (a lighter supervisory regime than essential entities, but still with risk-management measures, incident reporting, and management accountability). On the OT side sits the plant floor: PLCs, SCADA, and industrial control systems where IEC 62443 is the reference standard, availability and safety outrank confidentiality, and you cannot patch a line mid-shift. The two halves use different vocabularies and different risk models, but NIS 2 and a credible ISMS both demand that OT is in scope, not excluded as "the engineers' problem." ISMS Copilot drafts the ISO 27001 ISMS, maps NIS 2 important-entity obligations against it, and produces IEC 62443-aligned documentation for the industrial zones and conduits so IT and OT are one programme.
ISO 27001 framework details →The manufacturing regulatory stack ISMS Copilot covers
- ISO 27001:2022 ISMS — Annex A controls, Statement of Applicability, risk assessment and treatment
- NIS 2 important-entity scope assessment, risk-management measures, and incident-reporting procedures
- IEC 62443-aligned documentation for industrial control systems — zones, conduits, and security levels
- IT/OT asset inventory and segmentation policy drafting
- NIS 2-to-ISO 27001 cross-mapping so the corporate ISMS feeds the directive
- Supply-chain security assessment for component and equipment suppliers

Frequently Asked Questions
Are manufacturers in scope for NIS 2?
Many are — a large part of the manufacturing sector is classified as important entities under NIS 2, which carries risk-management, incident-reporting, and management-accountability obligations under a lighter supervisory regime than essential entities. ISMS Copilot helps you run the scope assessment and map the obligations onto an ISO 27001 ISMS. See /frameworks/nis-2.
Does ISMS Copilot handle the OT / industrial control side?
Yes — it produces IEC 62443-aligned documentation for industrial zones and conduits and helps you write OT policies where availability and safety, not confidentiality, are the priority. It is a documentation tool; it does not connect to or operate plant systems.
Can one programme cover ISO 27001 and NIS 2 for our factories?
Yes. ISO 27001 provides the ISMS backbone; ISMS Copilot cross-maps NIS 2 important-entity obligations onto it so the corporate ISMS and the directive are a single programme rather than two.
