The Bottom Line: The NIS2 registration deadline ends on July 31, and approximately 11,000 companies have not yet registered.
The implementation deadline for the NIS2 Directive ends on July 31. According to media reports, approximately 11,000 companies have not yet completed the required registration.
With July 31, 2024, the registration deadline for affected companies under the NIS2 Directive expires. This establishes uniform cybersecurity requirements across Europe for critical infrastructure and large digital companies. Those falling into the relevant sectors or size categories must register with the competent national authorities.
According to available data, around 11,000 companies remain unregistered. This poses significant compliance risks for CISOs and responsible parties in affected organizations: failure to register or late registration can be subject to substantial penalties. Additionally, regulatory inspections are expected to increase after the deadline expires.
Companies that have not yet registered should immediately verify whether they fall under NIS2 and initiate the appropriate registration procedures. A thorough review of their own classification is necessary to avoid penalties and reputational damage.
