The challenges of the NIS2 Implementation Act
The NIS2 EU Directive was originally due to be transposed into national law in Germany in October 2024 as the NIS2 Implementation Act. According to the latest information, it will now come into force during the new legislative period.
The implementation of the NIS2 Act poses a number of complex challenges for organisations, as it sets mandatory minimum standards for cybersecurity and has far-reaching implications for a wide range of entities. Medium and large organisations in the following sectors, which are considered critical to the economy and society, are affected by the Act:
- Energy
- Transport
- Healthcare
- Drinking water supply and distribution
- Digital infrastructure
- Food supply
- Financial market infrastructure
- Public administration
- Space travel
- Chemical industry
- Postal and courier services
- Waste management
- Telecommunications
- Research facilities
- Educational institutions
- Media
- E-commerce platforms
- Digital service providers
To ensure the resilience of their network and information systems, these sectors must meet certain security requirements and implement risk mitigation measures.
In addition to implementing basic technical measures, it is necessary to provide regular training for employees and to establish an effective emergency management system. Failure to comply can result in significant fines. Many organisations are unsure of how to implement the requirements of the NIS2 Act. It is often unclear what areas need to be addressed and what investment is required to achieve cyber and information security and NIS2 compliance.
NIS2 Readiness – Is your organisation ready for NIS2?
Many organisations have already prepared for NIS2, for example by implementing an Information Security Management System (ISMS) to ISO 27001. An ISMS is a good way to achieve a high level of compliance with NIS2. However, in some cases the requirements of NIS2 go beyond an ISMS. Our NIS2 Readiness Assessment enables organisations to gain clarity on the current status of their NIS2 compliance and, if necessary, create an action plan.
The first step is a comprehensive analysis of your current NIS2 compliance using a standardised questionnaire. In a subsequent workshop, open questions from the questionnaire are discussed, the results are presented and the deviations identified are analysed. In the next step, we work with you to develop tailored solutions and strategies to address the deviations. We use interactive methods to convey the content in a way that is both understandable and clear. Realistic scenarios allow us to transfer the theoretical concepts to the practical context of your organisation.
At the end of the workshop you will receive a detailed gap analysis and a prioritised checklist of recommended actions. These documents will tell you not only where you are well positioned, but also where you need to take action. This provides you with a tailor-made roadmap to successful NIS2 compliance.
