Still have questions? We have the answers.
No, but you must act IMMEDIATELY! The NIS2 Implementation Act has been in force since December 6, 2025 – with no transition period. Every day without compliance increases your risk of fines and liability. The foundation for this is laid by improving information security and implementing concrete technical and organizational measures. Proliance helps you implement the most important measures within a few weeks.
Yes! Even if ISO 27001 covers many NIS2 requirements, there are critical differences – such as reporting obligations (24h/72h), Business Continuity Management, supply chain security, and mandatory executive training. We would be happy to advise you on what these differences and expanded scopes under NIS2 specifically mean for companies and executives. The good news: With ISO 27001, you save up to 60% of the time required for NIS2 implementation. Learn more about the synergies between NIS2 and ISO 27001.
The acronym "NIS" stands for Network and Information Security. The first NIS Directive from 2016 was replaced by the new version (NIS2), which came into force in the EU in 2023 and will be implemented in Germany on December 6, 2025. With this directive, the EU aims to strengthen cybersecurity within the European Economic Area. Learn more here everything you need to know about the NIS2 Directive.
The NIS2 Directive aims to enhance resilience against cyberattacks and supply chain security across all relevant sectors. Its objective is to ensure a consistently high level of security throughout the entire EU. To achieve this, Member States must implement mandatory security requirements for affected entities and effective supervisory and enforcement mechanisms.
- Training and Awareness: Awareness of information security is mandatory for all employees – this also applies to management and executives. Basic training must ensure that all teams are familiar with relevant risks, policies, and rules of conduct; in-depth training for leadership complements the program. The management must be trained at least every 3 years – without exception.
- Resources and Competence Building: Establishing an ISMS requires time, budget, and internal personnel responsible for it. External support is useful but does not replace the necessary fundamental internal expertise. Without its own steering, the ISMS will not achieve the required level of maturity.
- Documentation and Practiced Policies: To comply with the requirements of the NIS2 directive, companies must develop approximately 20 to 35 policies. Crucially, these policies must be put into practice: employees must know and apply them. Merely filing them without implementation will lead to major non-conformities in audits and an increased risk of fines.
- Continuous Improvement: NIS2 requires a Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) cycle. This includes internal audits, effectiveness controls, action tracking, and regular management reviews to manage maturity, identify gaps, and drive improvements.
- Establish Reporting Processes: Establish clear processes for reporting significant security incidents to the BSI: early warning within 24 hours, full report within 72 hours, and a final report no later than one month after the initial notification.
- Register with the BSI: Register your company with the BSI on time – essential entities immediately, and particularly important ones by March 6, 2026.
The NIS2 directive applies to medium and large enterprises in the EU (with 50 or more employees and/or an annual turnover exceeding €10 million) that provide critical or essential services. Small businesses can also be affected if they are deemed critical or act as sole providers.
Affected sectors include: energy, transport, banking, healthcare, drinking water, digital infrastructure, ICT services, public administration, chemicals, food production, as well as postal services, waste management, online marketplaces, and research. Additionally, all critical entities identified under the CER Directive fall under NIS2.
In Germany, the NIS2 Implementation Act has been in force since December 6, 2025. Approximately 29,500 companies are affected. Learn more about the specific NIS2 requirements in Germany.
