Private vs. Hybrid Cloud Architecture for NIS2 Compliance

FeaturePrivate CloudHybrid Cloud
DefinitionCloud infrastructure used exclusively by one organization, typically hosted on-premises or in a dedicated EU-based facility.Combination of private cloud (on-prem or hosted) with public cloud (e.g., AWS, Azure) connected for workload flexibility.
NIS2 Compliance FocusEasier to enforce strict data residency, access controls, and audit logging within a closed environment.Must ensure data exchanged between environments complies with NIS2 encryption, residency, and access requirements.
Data ResidencyData is stored exclusively within a controlled and typically EU-based environment.Must ensure sensitive data remains in the private cloud or encrypted when crossing into public environments.
Security & Access ControlFull control over physical and logical security, access is tightly restricted and monitored.Requires strong integration and governance across environments—identity federation, secure APIs, encrypted tunnels.
CostHigher initial setup and maintenance costs; ideal for critical systems requiring full control.Cost-effective for organizations needing burst scalability or cloud-native services, with secure core operations on-premises.
ScalabilityLimited to hardware capacity— requires CAPEX investment to scale.Dynamically scalable through the public cloud for non-sensitive workloads or compute-heavy tasks.
Ideal ForGovernment, healthcare, finance —where data sovereignty and full control are paramount.Enterprises with mixed workloads —needing both agility and regulatory adherence for sensitive operations.

FAQ

What is the NIS2 Directive, and why is it important?

The NIS2 Directive is an EU regulation aimed at enhancing cybersecurity across member states. It sets strict requirements for digital infrastructure and data management, making it crucial for businesses to comply to avoid penalties and ensure the security of their systems. NIS2 is the EU’s updated cybersecurity directive applying to essential services (energy, transport, finance, health) and their digital supply chains, with compliance required in all member states by October 2024.

What infrastructure changes are required for NIS2 readiness?

You need secure, transparent architectures with network segmentation, TLS/TCP encryption, redundant failover, and detailed audit logs — all core to NIS2. Our architecture services support and validate these requirements.
