Bottom line: 30,000 German companies must meet NIS2 compliance requirements by June or face sanctions.
The NIS2 Directive requires approximately 30,000 German companies to implement cybersecurity measures by June. CISOs must prepare their organizations for the new regulatory requirements.
The NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Security Directive 2) is a binding regulation of the European Union to enhance cybersecurity. In Germany, it affects approximately 30,000 companies from critical and important sectors that must fulfill their obligations by June.
For CISOs, this concretely means: systems must be brought up to date, security processes must be documented, and risk assessments must be conducted. The Directive requires, among other measures, network security measures, access protection, and incident response procedures.
Time pressure is considerable: companies that fail to demonstrate implementation by the deadline risk fines and regulatory consequences. An early inventory and prioritization of security gaps is therefore essential to achieve compliance.
