Manufacturing & Industry
Factory-floor compliance. Digitized.
Industry 4.0 has transformed manufacturing - connected factories, smart supply chains, and digital twins create unprecedented efficiency but also new attack surfaces and regulatory obligations. NIS2 brings cybersecurity mandates, CSRD demands ESG transparency, and supply chain partners require certified security. Matproof unifies these compliance requirements in one platform built for how manufacturers actually operate.

Connected factories, IoT sensors, digital twins, and cloud-connected production systems have expanded the attack surface far beyond traditional IT. Each connected device and OT system must be inventoried, risk-assessed, and monitored - while production cannot stop for compliance activities.
NIS2 requires essential and important entities to manage supply chain cybersecurity risks. Manufacturers with hundreds of suppliers must assess each vendor's security posture, document contractual requirements, and monitor compliance continuously - a massive undertaking without automation.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive requires manufacturers to assess both how sustainability issues affect the business and how the business impacts the environment and society. Collecting data across global operations, suppliers, and product lifecycles demands systematic processes.
Large manufacturers operate production facilities across multiple EU member states, each with national NIS2 transposition nuances, local data protection authorities, and jurisdiction-specific reporting requirements. Maintaining consistent compliance across all sites is a significant coordination challenge.
Frameworks That Apply to Manufacturing
Manufacturers face a growing stack of cybersecurity, sustainability, and sector-specific certifications.
Manufacturing of critical products is covered under NIS2. Companies manufacturing medical devices, chemicals, machinery, and transport equipment face essential or important entity obligations.
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive requires large manufacturers to report on environmental impact, supply chain due diligence, and social metrics using European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).
Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange - required by automotive OEMs for all tier suppliers. TISAX certification demonstrates information security maturity across the automotive supply chain.
