NIS2 – Time to act.

NIS2 is now in force, and the clock is ticking. Even if your organisation isn’t directly in scope, you may still be affected as part of a regulated supply chain. If you’ve yet to act, you’re no longer planning ahead – you’re already playing catch-up.

The directive raises the bar for security across both processes and technology. Risk management, information security, incident response and cyber resilience are no longer just best practice – they are now a regulatory requirement. At the same time, AI-enabled attacks are accelerating the pace and scale at which vulnerabilities are exploited, making these measures more critical than ever.

Regulatory pressure and the evolving threat landscape are converging. The priority now is clear: identify gaps and close them without delay – not only to achieve NIS2 compliance, but to stay resilient in an environment where known weaknesses are exploited faster and more systematically than ever before.

NIS2 relevance isn’t declared — it’s your responsibility to establish it.

An estimated 30,000 organisations in Germany will be affected, including companies across energy, transport, banking, IT, healthcare and many other sectors – and that impact can extend through supply chains as well. Organisations are required to determine for themselves whether they fall under the NIS2 Directive and, if so, must register with the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) within three months of the national legislation taking effect. NIS2 also requires comprehensive management measures covering risk management, information security, and incident and cyber security processes. These measures need to be implemented as an integrated whole, particularly as AI-driven attacks are designed to exploit precisely the gaps the directive is intended to close.
