The first line of defence: access control for critical infrastructure

NIS2 and CER are raising security requirements across Europe – including in Austria (NISG2026, RKEG) and Germany (NIS-2 and KRITIS). The aim is to make critical facilities more resilient – both digitally and physically. After all, security starts at the door.

Operators of critical infrastructure, in particular, must clarify: who is allowed where and when – and how do we prevent unauthorised access?
Modern access control is a key component in this regard. It protects sensitive areas, ensures transparency regarding authorisations and supports the documentation of incidents.

EVVA solutions help to specifically strengthen physical security within the NIS2/CER/KRITIS framework.

🔄 Surowce wtórne mogą zyskać drugie życie

Sprawnie funkcjonująca gospodarka o obiegu zamkniętym zaczyna się od odpowiedzialnego gospodarowania zasobami. Dlatego w EVVA dużą wagę przykładamy do recyklingu metali, dzięki któremu cenne surowce mogą zostać ponownie wykorzystane. To jeden z elementów naszych działań na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju i odpowiedzialnego zarządzania zasobami.

Więcej informacji o naszych inicjatywach w obszarach gospodarki o obiegu zamkniętym, energii, klimatu i odpowiedzialności społecznej znajdziesz w Raporcie Zrównoważonego Rozwoju EVVA 2025.

🔄 Recyclable materials are turned back into recyclable materials.

A functioning circular economy begins with the conscious use of resources. That is why metal recycling plays an important role at EVVA – with results that speak for themselves.

Cybersecurity also requires physical protection

NIS2 / CER is often reduced to IT security – yet critical systems also require physical protection. Server rooms, control centres and production areas must be secured against unauthorised access.

Access control is therefore a central part of the security architecture.

The EVVA white paper highlights key requirements:
• strict access control
• secure, tamper-proof media
• encrypted communication
• traceable documentation
• rapid access revocation & emergency plans

For businesses, physical security must form part of every NIS2/CER risk analysis.

EVVA solutions help to organise access in a secure, transparent and resilient manner.

🤝 Sustainability often starts closer to home than you might think.

EVVA works with a high proportion of regional suppliers (EVVA defines ‘regional’ as within a 1,000-km radius of its head office). In doing so, we prioritise short supply chains, strong partnerships and a responsible value chain. Our new sustainability report details the further progress and measures EVVA has implemented during the 2025 reporting year.
