The Point: 39 percent of NIS2-regulated companies have registered to date, indicating significant compliance backlogs in EU directive implementation.
Current surveys show that only 39 percent of companies regulated under NIS2 have completed their registration. This points to significant delays in the implementation of the new EU directive.
The National Authority for Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructures is recording considerable backlogs in the registration of critical infrastructure operators and important digital service providers. With a registration rate of 39 percent, the affected organizations are falling significantly behind the required schedule.
The Network and Information Security Directive NIS2 requires companies in certain sectors to register and disclose their cybersecurity structures. This forms the basis for regulatory supervision and mandatory security standards. For CISOs, the registration deadline is a critical compliance issue: missing registrations can result in fines, and at the same time there is uncertainty about the exact technical and organizational requirements of the responsible authorities.
Failure to comply or delayed implementation of NIS2 requirements will result in sanctions. Companies should review their registration status and initiate any outstanding procedures with the responsible authorities in their member state.
