In brief: The BSI extends the registration deadline for NIS2 operators of critical infrastructure until 31 July 2024.
The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has extended the deadline for registration under the NIS2 Directive to 31 July. Operators of critical infrastructure must register on the BSI portal by that date to comply with regulatory requirements.
The BSI urges organizations falling under the National Cybersecurity Strategy and the European NIS2 Directive to comply with the new registration deadline of 31 July. Operators of critical infrastructure as well as enterprises classified as essential entities or important entities are obligated to register in the BSI registration portal.
For CISOs, this concretely means that the notification of operation and scope of their own IT systems to the BSI must be completed by this deadline. Registration is the first step towards full implementation of NIS2 requirements, which include inter alia requirements for risk management, incident reporting, and the qualification of IT security personnel.
The deadline extension signals that not all affected organizations have yet completed the initial registration. CISOs should, in parallel with registration, already begin reviewing their technical and organizational measures to be able to meet compliance requirements promptly after registration.
