What is NIS-2?
From the end of October 2024, the European NIS 2 Directive will introduce new and stricter regulations for companies regarding their IT security. Companies to which the directive applies must take appropriate precautions to ensure the security of their facilities, networks, IT systems and supply chains. Risk management must also be introduced. Whether NIS-2 applies to your own company must be determined on the basis of various criteria and is not communicated by the authorities.
In Germany alone, around 30,000 companies will be affected by the NIS-2 directive.
Who is affected by NIS-2?
Key companies in the critical infrastructure sector are affected by the NIS 2 Directive.
Essential entities are: Energy, road, rail, air and maritime transport, water, digital infrastructure and IT services, banking and finance, health, public administration and space.
Important entities are: Waste management, postal and courier services, chemical products (production and distribution), food (production and distribution), manufacturers (computers, electronics, optics, machinery, motor vehicles and trailers, means of transport), digital providers (search engines, social networks, online marketplaces), research institutions.
The size of the company also plays a role. A distinction is made between medium-sized (50 - 250 employees, EUR 10 - 50 million turnover, balance sheet total less than EUR 43 million) and large (more than 250 employees, more than EUR 50 million turnover, balance sheet total greater than EUR 43 million) companies.
