NIS2: What you need to know
NIS2 Umsetzung gezielt auf den Weg bringen!
The deadline for the implementation of NIS2 is approaching – by October 17, 2024, stricter cybersecurity measures are to be transposed into law in Germany via the NIS2 Implementation Act. Other member states will develop their own legislature based on EU Directive 2022/2555. We have taken a close look at this directive for you to provide you with the most important pointers and signposts for the entry into force of NIS2 in this short video. In this video, you will find out whether your company is affected, what measures you should definitely take, which cybersecurity topics you need to pay particular attention to, who you can consult in this regard and what the consequences of non-compliance are.
Learn about the Cyber Resilience Act, which provides a solid framework to strengthen your organization’s resilience against cyberattacks. The ENISA Common Criteria will help you assess the security of your IT products and systems and take a risk-minimizing approach right from the development stage. Also prioritize the introduction of an information management system, for example by implementing ISO 27001 certification for your company. Seek advice about IT baseline protection from specialists recommended by the BSI or your local responsible office.
In addition to the BSI as a point of contact for matters relating to NIS2, we are happy to assist you and offer certified solutions in the areas of vulnerability management and penetration testing. By taking a proactive approach, you can identify security gaps in your systems at an early stage and secure them before they can be used for an attack. Our vulnerability management solution automatically scans your system for weaknesses and reports back to you regularly. During penetration testing, a human tester attempts to penetrate your system to give you final assurance about the attack surface of your systems.
You should also make it a habit to stay up to date with regular cybersecurity training and establish a lively exchange with other NIS2 companies. This is the only way for NIS2 to lead to a sustainable increase in the level of cyber security in Europe.
