“Implementing NIS-2 is an organizational stress test”
Summary
The article explains that companies providing business-critical digital services or embedded in critical supply chains must assess their exposure to EU NIS-2 and complete BSI registration (deadline March 6, 2026). It highlights common pitfalls—such as indirect exposure via group structures or outsourced IT—and recommends using the BSI impact assessment and legal advice where cases are complex. Organizations must appoint a 24/7 NIS-2 contact point, establish governance and reporting processes, train executives regularly, and carry out structured risk analyses; registration is only the first step. Authorities are currently restrained on sanctions but supervision will tighten from mid-2026, so firms should finalize registration and implement the recommended six-step compliance model now to reduce operational, reputational, and legal risk.
