At a glance: Nearly 30,000 German companies risk missing the registration deadline for the NIS2 Directive.
The registration deadline for NIS2 implementation ends on July 31. Approximately 29,500 companies must complete their registration by then to meet compliance requirements.
The registration deadline under the NIS2 Directive expires on July 31. According to current reports, around 29,500 companies in Germany are affected and must have completed their notification to the competent authorities by this date.
For CISOs, this means that organisation-wide registration processes must be completed in the short term. The NIS2 Directive requires operators of critical infrastructure as well as companies in the digital and other sectors to submit notifications. Delays result in fine risks and can reveal gaps in compliance documentation.
Companies should promptly verify whether they are subject to registration requirements and which evidence is required. The competent authorities (Federal Office for Cybersecurity, state authorities) publish regularly updated requirement catalogues. Documented registration and a planned follow-up by the deadline minimise compliance risks.
