Regulatory Compliance Support
How Mideye Server addresses specific requirements in EU and international compliance frameworks.
⚠️ Important: Mideye provides authentication technology that addresses specific requirements in various compliance frameworks. Achieving full compliance with NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, or other standards requires comprehensive organizational programs beyond MFA. Consult your compliance team, auditor, or legal counsel for complete compliance guidance.
Framework Overview
Mideye Server addresses specific requirements in EU and international compliance frameworks including NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, and GDPR. This page provides explicit mappings between Mideye features and regulatory requirements to help you understand how Mideye fits into your compliance program.
🇪🇺 NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/2555)
The Network and Information Security Directive applies to essential and important entities across the EU, requiring baseline cybersecurity measures.
| Requirement | Mideye Feature | Article |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-factor authentication | Core MFA engine (push, SMS, TOTP, hardware tokens) | Art. 21(2)(j) |
| MFA for privileged & administrative access | RADIUS MFA in front of AD, VPN, RDP and admin logins; Credential Provider for Windows admin logons | Art. 21(2)(j) + ENISA TIG § 11.3.2 |
| Access control policies | Assisted Login (four-eyes principle) | Art. 21(2)(i) |
| Incident detection | Failed login monitoring + Mideye Shield | Art. 21(2)(e) |
| Audit logging | Comprehensive authentication and approval logs | Art. 21(2)(e) |
Privileged accounts come first. ENISA's Technical Implementation Guidance (June 2025) for the NIS2 Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 calls for dedicated, individual administrator accounts protected with strong authentication (§ 11.3.2), tightly controlled and fully logged administration systems (§ 11.4), and multi-factor authentication on VPN, RDP, and any service reachable from outside the corporate network. Admin and privileged accounts are where auditors look first. Mideye puts RADIUS-based MFA in front of Active Directory, VPN, and administrative logins today, including Windows admin logons via the Credential Provider.
Non-compliance is expensive: NIS2 Article 34(4) sets administrative fines for essential entities of up to €10 million or 2% of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Mideye NIS2 compliant?
Mideye Server addresses specific NIS2 requirements including multi-factor authentication (Article 21, paragraph 2(j)), access control policies (Article 21, paragraph 2(i)), and incident detection (Article 21, paragraph 2(e)).
