NIS-2 essential entityIP protection engineering dataGDPR Art. 32 securitySupply-chain duty of care

Conbool supports NIS-2 requirements at the mail and data layer. NIS-2 classification is decided by the company itself based on sector and size.

Four building blocks for mechanical engineering.

SecureFiles for CAD bundles, MailGuard against supply-chain phishing, SecureMail for confidential correspondence, Disclaimer for required disclosures.

Typical workflows

Four scenarios from the Mittelstand.

From engineering office to purchasing.

1

Send CAD bundles to OEMs

Engineering data as a bundle via SecureFiles, beyond Outlook size limits, with audit log per access and retention per project.

2

Catch supplier phishing

Forged mail from supplier domains trying to change bank details or configurations is blocked by MailGuard at the authentication layer.

3

IP protection on outbound shipments

SecureFiles with encrypted transfer and retention policies per recipient country.

4

NIS-2 audit trail

Audit log per GDPR Art. 30 as evidence in the NIS-2 audit.

Architecture

Office IT with a stack in front of M365.

Conbool sits in front of Microsoft 365. Engineering software (CAD, PLM) remains unchanged.

MX switch

Inbound SMTP runs through Conbool, M365 stays the back-end.

CAD and PLM stay

Conbool does not interact with CAD or PLM systems and only complements the transmission path.

Outlook add-in

Classic, New and Web. No setup on engineering workstations.

Coexistence

Conbool coexists with common ERP, PLM and CAD systems via Outlook and SMTP.

Compliance mapping

NIS-2 for the Mittelstand.

NIS-2 expands the addressee group and specifies duties. Conbool covers measures at the mail and data layer.

Confidentiality goal

End-to-end encryption in SecureMail and SecureFiles.

Integrity goal

DMARC-aligned outbound identity, tamper protection in the audit log.

Availability goal

Multi-stage filter and backpressure protection layers for the mail chain.

Incident reporting

Audit log as a basis for NIS-2 incident reports.

Migration

Pilot in one plant, then group rollout.

Pilot in one plant or subsidiary, then group rollout via the Microsoft admin centre.

Pilot

One plant or subsidiary starts, the rest stays unchanged.

Group rollout

Outlook add-in for all office staff via the admin centre.

IP protection workflow

SecureFiles with retention policies per country and project.

Legacy sunset

Existing file hosters and FTP paths run in parallel and are replaced step by step.
