NIS2 & DORA Compliance: Secure Out-of-Band Communication

The New Standard for Executive Resilience

Under NIS2 and DORA, cybersecurity is no longer an IT line item—it's a boardroom mandate. With the introduction of personal management liability and strict 24-hour incident notification windows, the tools you use to manage a crisis are as important as the response itself.

RealTyme provides the "break-glass" communication infrastructure required by CIOs and CISOs to maintain operational continuity when standard channels (Teams, Slack, Email) are compromised or unavailable.

Executive Communication Is Your Largest Unmanaged Risk Surface

Shadow Executive Channels

Leadership conversations happen outside monitored environments — creating audit blind spots. When regulators ask "where are executive communications logged?" the answer cannot be "WhatsApp."

Jurisdiction & Data Sovereignty Exposure

Executive metadata and messages reside in foreign cloud infrastructures subject to CLOUD Act and foreign intelligence frameworks.

Business Continuity Gaps

During cyber incidents, email, Teams, and corporate networks fail first — leaving leadership without trusted command channels for NIS2's 24-hour incident reporting.

Jens-Uwe Schlötel of Syneco Trading endorsing RealTyme for secure communication and crisis response coordination.

Secure Communication for Crisis Response

"We needed a reliable communication solution to ensure real-time coordination across teams during a crisis. Before facing a critical emergency, as part of our business continuity plan, we included the communication resilience of secure communications platforms within the emergency tests.

RealTyme was instrumental in maintaining safe and effective team communication during these tests. Its ease of use and the level of security it provided allowed us to coordinate response efforts swiftly without fear of sensitive information being compromised."

Frequently Asked Questions

How does RealTyme support DORA’s ICT Risk Management?

DORA requires a "comprehensive ICT business continuity policy." RealTyme provides the out-of-band communication vital for that continuity, ensuring that your Crisis Management Team isn't silenced by the same incident they are trying to solve.

Can we host RealTyme on our own infrastructure?

Yes. Our Sovereign version is built specifically for on-premises or private cloud deployment to satisfy the most stringent data residency requirements of NIS2 Article 21.

What makes RealTyme different from Signal or WhatsApp for enterprise use?

Consumer apps lack administrative controls, compliance documentation, and business continuity capabilities. RealTyme provides CISO-grade governance, audit trails, out-of-band continuity, and Swiss data sovereignty—requirements for NIS2/DORA compliance that consumer apps cannot meet.

Does RealTyme work during complete network outages?

Yes. Out-of-band mode uses pre-provisioned offline authentication, allowing secure communication even when your VPN, email, and primary networks are compromised—critical for maintaining crisis coordination during cyber incidents.

Is RealTyme compliant with sector-specific regulations (healthcare, energy)?

Yes. Beyond NIS2/DORA, we support sector requirements including HIPAA considerations (healthcare), and critical infrastructure guidelines (energy/utilities). Compliance mapping provided during onboarding.

Can we run RealTyme in a completely air-gapped environment?

Yes. RealTyme Sovereign supports fully air-gapped deployment with offline activation, manual update processes, and no external connectivity requirements. Ideal for classified or highly sensitive environments.
