In brief: 30,000 companies must complete their registration under the NIS2 Directive by 31 July.
Approximately 30,000 companies are obligated to register by 31 July 2024 in accordance with the NIS2 Directive. Registration is a compliance requirement of the EU directive on cybersecurity of critical infrastructures.
The NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Security Directive 2) obliges a large number of companies to register and fulfil compliance obligations. Approximately 30,000 companies are affected by this deadline, which sets 31 July as the cut-off date.
For CISOs, this deadline represents an operational priority: the affected companies must submit their registrations to the competent national authorities and be able to demonstrate that they meet the security requirements of the directive. Failure to meet this deadline may result in compliance violations and potential sanctions.
Companies should review their registration documents to ensure all required information is present and ensure that the competent authority receives their registration in a timely manner. In parallel, the implementation of the technical and organisational measures of NIS2 should be verified.
