Arckit Nl Bio

⚠️ Community-contributed command — not part of the officially-maintained ArcKit baseline. Output should be reviewed by qualified counsel and the departmental CISO before reliance. Citations to BIO2 and its base ISO standards may lag the current text — verify against the source.

You are helping an enterprise architect assess conformance with BIO2 (Baseline Informatiebeveiliging Overheid 2) for a Dutch government information system. BIO2 was established by the OBDO on 23 September 2025 (version 1.3 dated 9 January 2026), and is built on NEN-EN-ISO/IEC 27001:2023 and NEN-EN-ISO/IEC 27002:2022. BIO2 does not mandate ISO 27001 certification, but the overheidsmaatregelen (government-specific measures) it adds are mandatory where applicable — this assessment must not blur that distinction.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Instructions

Note: Before generating, scan projects/ for existing project directories. For each project, list all ARC-*.md artifacts, check external/ for reference documents, and check 000-global/ for cross-project policies. If no external docs exist but they would improve output, ask the user.

Step 0: Read existing artifacts from the project context

MANDATORY (warn if missing):

• REQ (Requirements) — Extract: system description, security NFRs (NFR-SEC-xxx), integration requirements, hosting model
  • If missing: warn that a meaningful conformance assessment requires a defined system scope

RECOMMENDED (read if available, note if missing):

• TBB (Te Beschermen Belangen determination, from $arckit-nl-tbb) — Extract: BIV scores to prioritise which control areas matter most
• RBCLOUD (Rijksbreed Cloudbeleid Compliance Assessment, from $arckit-nl-cloud) — Extract: hosting model, data location, encryption posture already assessed
• SECD (Secure by Design) — Extract: existing security controls that overlap with BIO2 measures
• RISK (Risk Register) — Extract: existing security risks

OPTIONAL (read if available, skip silently):

• DATA (Data Model) — Extract: data assets and classification relevant to control scoping

Step 0b: Read external documents and policies

• Read any external documents in external/ — extract prior BIO2 or BIO assessments, ISO 27001 certification scope statements, audit findings
• Read any global policies in 000-global/policies/ — extract information security policy, access control policy
• If prior material references the original BIO or BIO1, note that BIO2 is the current baseline and re-verify.

Step 1: Identify or Create Project

Identify the target project from the hook context. If the project doesn't exist:

1. Use Glob to list projects/*/ directories and find the highest NNN-* number
2. Calculate the next number (zero-padded to 3 digits)
3. Slugify the project name
4. Use the Write tool to create projects/{NNN}-{slug}/README.md
5. Set PROJECT_ID and PROJECT_PATH

Step 2: Read Source Artifacts

Read all documents from Step 0. Extract the system's control environment, any existing ISO 27001/27002 conformance evidence, and the BIV scores if available.

Step 3: Template Reading

Read the template (with user override support):

• First, check if .arckit/templates-custom/nl-bio-template.md exists in the project root
• If found: Read the user's customized template
• If not found: Read .arckit/templates/nl-bio-template.md

Also read .arckit/templates/_partials/RENDERING.md — the template's <!-- DOC-CONTROL-HEADER --> marker is resolved against these rules before the artefact is written (see Step 8).

Step 4: Scope and Certification Posture

State the system in scope, the BIV scores if available from $arckit-nl-tbb, and the certification posture: BIO2 does not require ISO/IEC 27001 certification, but its overheidsmaatregelen are mandatory where applicable regardless of certification status. Do not present "not certified" as equivalent to "non-conformant" — they are different questions.

Step 5: Assess Against the Four ISO/IEC 27002:2022 Control Themes

Structure the assessment around the four themes the base standard uses — Organisational, People, Physical, and Technological controls. For each control area in scope:

1. State the current implementation status
2. Reference the specific BIO2 overheidsmaatregel where you have it from source material provided by the user or project artefacts
3. Do not invent an overheidsmaatregel number or requirement text you were not given — where the specific measure text is not available, mark it [PENDING — cite from current BIO2 text] and instruct the assessor to complete it from the official document
4. Record a gap where the control is absent, partial, or unverified

Cross-reference $arckit-nl-cloud Section 7 (data location and encryption) for the Technological controls theme where the system is cloud-hosted — do not re-derive the encryption assessment from scratch if it already exists.

Step 6: Gap Summary

Consolidate all gaps identified across the four themes into a single prioritised table with owner and target date.

Step 7: Sector Context

Note whether the organisation is in scope of the Cyberbeveiligingswet (Cbw, the Dutch NIS2 transposition) or the Wet weerbaarheid kritieke entiteiten (Wwke, the CER transposition) — both approved by the Eerste Kamer on 7 July 2026 and in force 15 August 2026, replacing the Wbni. Where in scope, note that the Rijksinspectie Digitale Infrastructuur (RDI) is the supervisory authority.

Step 8: Generate the Assessment

CRITICAL: Use the Write tool to create the assessment document.

1. Use node scripts/generate-document-id.mjs <PROJECT_ID> BIO2 --filename for the artefact filename.

2. Auto-populate Document Control:

   • Document ID: the filename from step 1, without the .md extension
   • Status: DRAFT
   • Created Date: {current_date}
   • Next Review Date: {current_date + 12 months}

3. Resolve the <!-- DOC-CONTROL-HEADER --> marker per RENDERING.md before writing the artefact. RENDERING.md hard-routes the NL regime to _partials/document-control-nl.md, which already carries the VIRBI 2025 rubricering ladder — no per-command classification override is needed.

4. Populate the External References section per .arckit/references/citation-instructions.md. BIO2 — Baseline Informatiebeveiliging Overheid 2 MUST appear in the Document Register with its primary URL and the verification date.

Before writing the file, read .arckit/references/quality-checklist.md and verify all Common Checks plus the BIO2 per-type checks pass.

Write the document to:

projects/{project_id}/<filename>

Important Notes

• Certification is not conformance: BIO2 does not mandate ISO/IEC 27001 certification. Do not report "not certified" as a finding of non-conformance on its own — assess the overheidsmaatregelen directly.
• Do not invent overheidsmaatregel text: This assessment must not fabricate specific BIO2 measure numbers, wording, or thresholds that were not supplied in source material. Use the [PENDING — cite from current BIO2 text] placeholder and instruct the assessor to complete it.
• BIO2 is version 1.3 (9 January 2026): If prior material cites an earlier BIO2 version or the original BIO/BIO1, flag it for re-verification.
• This is a security-baseline assessment, not a cloud-eligibility assessment. Run $arckit-nl-cloud for hosting eligibility and $arckit-nl-tbb for classification.
• Use Write Tool: BIO2 assessments are detailed technical documents. Always use the Write tool.

Key References

Note for reviewers: BIO2 is built on NEN-EN-ISO/IEC 27001:2023 and 27002:2022 but does not require formal certification against either — the overheidsmaatregelen it layers on top are the mandatory element, applied where relevant to the system in scope. This command structures the assessment around the four ISO/IEC 27002:2022 control themes (Organisational, People, Physical, Technological) as an organising scaffold; it does not assert specific BIO2 overheidsmaatregel numbers that were not supplied by the user or project source material.

Success Criteria

• ✅ BIO2 version and base standards cited correctly
• ✅ Certification-vs-conformance distinction stated explicitly
• ✅ All four ISO/IEC 27002:2022 control themes addressed
• ✅ No overheidsmaatregel number or requirement text fabricated
• ✅ BIV scores from $arckit-nl-tbb used to prioritise controls where available
• ✅ Gap summary includes priority, owner, and target date
• ✅ Cbw/Wwke sector applicability noted

Example Usage

Suggested Next Steps

After completing this command, consider running:

• $arckit-nl-cloud -- Feed BIO2 conformance status and control gaps into the cloud data-location and encryption assessment (when This system is cloud-hosted or cloud hosting is under consideration)
• $arckit-nl-tbb -- Determine the TBB category so BIV scores can prioritise which BIO2 controls matter most (when BIV scores not yet available to prioritise this conformance assessment)
• $arckit-risk -- Reflect open BIO2 control gaps in the risk register (when Gaps identified in this assessment are not yet reflected in ARC--RISK)*
