Context

NCSC-NL supports Dutch critical infrastructure operators under the EU's NIS2 directive, which requires timely vulnerability advisories and compliance guidance.

Activities

NCSC-NL partnered with ML6 to build three internal AI tools: one drafting CVE-based vulnerability advisories, one answering staff NIS2 compliance questions, and one helping ENSOC staff find rules and records across languages. All three are published in the Dutch national algorithm register.

Results

The advisory-drafting tool cuts writing time roughly threefold (with human validation of every output before publication); the compliance assistant answers questions 70% faster; reusing shared secure components cut the cost of building further AI assistants by a reported 85%.

Conclusions

These are efficiency figures from the technology partner's case study rather than an independent audit, and no public data compares advisory accuracy or NIS2 response quality before and after — only speed.

Conditions for success

  • human analyst validation of every AI-drafted advisory
  • publication in the national algorithm register for accountability

Common failure modes

  • no independent audit of accuracy or response quality, only speed metrics
