The gist: The BSI extends the NIS2 registration deadline to the end of July as significantly fewer companies than expected have fulfilled their reporting obligations.
The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has set a new registration deadline for operators of critical infrastructure, as registration numbers under the IT Security Act have fallen significantly short of expectations.
The BSI reports that too few companies have registered as NIS2 operators. The previous deadline was apparently not met, which is why the authority has set an extended deadline until the end of July.
Registration is mandatory for operators of critical infrastructure and important services to meet the requirements of the NIS2 Directive. The new requirements include, among other things, incident reporting obligations, risk management, and technical security measures. Companies that fall under the classification must demonstrate their compliance by the new deadline.
The BSI urges companies to comply and points out the consequences that can result from violations. Registration is the first step toward full compliance with NIS2 requirements, which are central to the security of critical supply systems in Germany.
