NIS2

NIS2 already applies: are you registered and able to evidence it?

We establish whether you are affected and take you through registration, reporting duties and risk management the way the BSI expects — whether you are a mid-sized company or a corporation.

NIS2 / BSIG (German Federal Act on IT Security)

§ 30 BSIGBSI notification

The reality

NIS2 makes cyber security a board matter: management is personally liable. Anyone not registered with the BSI commits a separate offence even without a security incident.

The risk of waiting

Up to €10m or 2 % of global turnover, plus personal liability of the management. In force since 6 December 2025, with no transition period.

The advantage of acting

Demonstrable NIS2 conformity is increasingly a condition in tenders and supply chains — an advantage with customers who are themselves subject to NIS2.

Which companies does NIS2 apply to?

  • Medium-sized companies in the 18 NIS2 sectors

    From 50 employees, or more than 10 million euros in turnover and balance sheet total, they count as an important entity and have to register with the BSI.

  • Large companies and operators of critical installations

    From 250 employees, or more than 50 million euros in turnover and 43 million in balance sheet total, in highly critical sectors they count as essential; operators of critical infrastructure regardless of size.

  • Suppliers and IT service providers of affected companies

    Companies subject to NIS2 have to account for the security of their supply chain and pass the requirements on to their service providers, including those not required to register themselves.

Many companies arrive at a no when they check whether NIS2 applies to them, but they do not record why, or on which assumptions. If the company later exceeds the thresholds, nobody notices.

Frequently asked questions

Which sectors does NIS2 cover?

NIS2 distinguishes between "important" and "particularly important" entities across 18 sectors, among them energy, transport, banking, financial market infrastructure, health, drinking water, waste water, digital infrastructure, public administration, space and large parts of manufacturing such as mechanical engineering and electronics. As a rule the thresholds are 50 employees or €10 million in annual turnover or balance sheet total, although some sectors carry duties regardless of size. Being classified as "particularly important" brings active supervision by the authority on top of self-assessment, while "important" entities are primarily reviewed when there is cause. Both groups must register with the BSI and report security incidents within the deadlines.

What happens if we simply do nothing?

Failing to register is already an offence in its own right, whether or not a security incident ever occurs.

We are a 60-person operation — is this worth it for us?

Yes. NIS2 distinguishes by sector and size, not by whether a company is “big enough for consultants”. We establish whether you are affected in a short conversation.

How long does implementation usually take?

Registration is usually a matter of days; robust risk management typically takes 2–4 months depending on where you start.
