NIS2 Infrastructure Kit

Secure-by-Design Infrastructure for NIS2 Compliance.

This repository provides the "last mile" for NIS2 compliance: secure infrastructure. Deploy with Docker Compose, Helm (Kubernetes), or Terraform (Cloud). While django-nis2-shield, nis2-spring-shield, dotnet-nis2-shield, and @nis2shield/react-guard protect your code, this kit protects the execution environment.

🔐 Encrypted Twin (Disaster Recovery)

The Crypto-Replicator provides zero-trust cloud backup:

sequenceDiagram
    participant DB as PostgreSQL
    participant CR as Crypto-Replicator
    participant Cloud as ☁️ Cloud Storage
    
    DB->>CR: NOTIFY (change event)
    
    Note over CR: 1. Generate AES session key
    Note over CR: 2. Encrypt data with AES-GCM
    Note over CR: 3. Wrap key with RSA public
    
    CR->>Cloud: Encrypted Envelope
    
    Note over Cloud: ⚠️ Cannot decrypt!<br/>(no private key)

Loading

Key Features:

• 🔒 AES-256-GCM - Authenticated data encryption
• 🔑 RSA-OAEP - Asymmetric key wrapping
• 🔄 Forward Secrecy - Unique session key per message
• ☁️ Zero-Trust Cloud - Cloud cannot read your data

🛡️ The Truth vs The Proof

This infrastructure is designed to support the NIS2Shield business model:

1. The Truth (Open Source):

   • Secure Infrastructure: All the Docker/Helm/Terraform code in this repo is free and MIT licensed.
   • Static Guardrails: We provide configs for tfsec and gitleaks to block insecurity in CI/CD.
   • Self-Assessment: The manual docs/NIS2_SELF_ASSESSMENT.md checklist.

2. The Proof (Auditor Kit - Commercial):

   • Compliance Engine: The proprietary binary that connects to this infrastructure.
   • Automated Reporting: It parses the logs generated by these containers to verify operational requirements (e.g., "Did backups run?").
   • Legal PDF: Automatically generates the signed report for your auditor.

Note: This repository contains "The Truth" (the secure runtime). To get the automated "Proof" (Compliance Engine & Reports), see cur Pro Auditor Kit.

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Docker & Docker Compose v2+
• A Docker image of your application using:
  • Django: django-nis2-shield
  • Spring Boot: nis2-spring-shield
  • .NET: dotnet-nis2-shield

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/nis2shield/infrastructure.git
cd infrastructure

# Copy environment template
cp .env.example .env

# Edit .env with your values (IMPORTANT: change passwords!)
nano .env

# Start the stack
docker-compose up -d

# Check status
docker-compose ps

⚙️ Services

1. webapp (Application Layer)

Your Django, Spring Boot, or .NET application, hardened with:

• user: 1000:1000 - Non-root execution
• read_only: true - Immutable filesystem
• tmpfs: /tmp - RAM-only writable directory

Spring Boot: See examples/docker-compose.spring.yml for a Spring-specific example.

2. log-collector (Fluent Bit Sidecar)

Reads logs from shared volume and forwards to:

• Console (default, for development)
• Elasticsearch (uncomment in config)
• HTTP/SIEM (Intrusa, Splunk HEC, etc.)

Edit monitoring/fluent-bit.conf to configure outputs.

3. db-backup (Business Continuity)

Automated PostgreSQL backups:

• Schedule: @every 6h00m (configurable)
• Retention: 7 days (configurable)
• Location: ./backups/

🔄 Disaster Recovery Testing

Test that your backups can be restored (NIS2 Art. 21c requirement):

# Run the automated restore test
./scripts/restore-test.sh

# Or specify a backup file
./scripts/restore-test.sh ./backups/mybackup.sql.gz

The script will:

1. Start an empty PostgreSQL container
2. Restore the latest backup
3. Validate the data integrity
4. Generate a compliance report

Keep the generated report for your NIS2 audit documentation.

📊 ELK Stack (Elasticsearch + Kibana)

Visualize your NIS2 logs in a beautiful dashboard:

# Quick setup (starts ES + Kibana + configures index)
./scripts/elk-setup.sh

# Or manually
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.elk.yml up -d

Once running:

• Kibana: http://localhost:5601
• Elasticsearch: http://localhost:9200

Go to Kibana → Analytics → Discover → Select "NIS2 Logs" to see your logs.

Note: ELK requires ~1.5GB RAM. Use the base stack for low-memory systems.

📈 Prometheus + Grafana Monitoring

Real-time metrics and NIS2 compliance dashboard:

# Quick setup
./scripts/monitoring-setup.sh

# Or manually
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.monitoring.yml up -d

Access:

• Grafana: http://localhost:3000 (admin/admin)
• Prometheus: http://localhost:9090

Pre-configured NIS2 dashboard includes:

• Request rate and error percentage
• Backup age monitoring
• System resource usage

☸️ Kubernetes (Helm Chart)

For enterprise deployments, use our production-ready Helm chart:

# Install from local
helm install nis2shield ./charts/nis2shield -n nis2 --create-namespace

# With custom values
helm install nis2shield ./charts/nis2shield -f values-prod.yaml

Features:

• 🔒 Security hardening (PSS restricted, runAsNonRoot)
• 🌐 Ingress with TLS support
• 🔐 NetworkPolicies for service isolation
• ⚙️ Toggle modules (replicator, monitoring)
