NIS2 Law: New Requirements and how Companies Can Prepare

On November 13, 2025, the Bundestag passed the law implementing the European NIS2 Directive. This will raise cybersecurity in Germany to a new level. Following the approval of the Bundesrat, companies are obliged to introduce comprehensive security measures – in particular operators of critical infrastructures and organizations of high social importance.

What Does NIS2 Mean in Concrete Terms?

  • Extended scope: Around 29,500 companies are affected – from energy suppliers to healthcare providers and digital platforms.
  • Obligations: Registration with the BSI, reporting obligations for security incidents, implementation of technical and organizational measures, and consideration of supply chain risks.
  • Strict sanctions: Violations can result in substantial fines.

How Can Companies Prepare?

Implementing the NIS2 requirements requires a structured approach. Our Pink handout on preparing a disaster recovery concept (DR concept) offers a practical basis for this. It shows how companies – even without external support – can create the basis for a robust Business Continuity Management System (BCMS).

What is Possible with the Handout?

The document contains:

  • Recommended document structure for BCMS: Guidelines, scope document, risk assessment, BIA report, crisis and communication plans.
  • Checklists for the project start: Which files and information must be available (e.g. BCMS guideline, risk matrix, DR workbook, recovery plan).
  • Requirements catalog: Technical and organizational requirements for IT systems, infrastructure and emergency teams.
  • Process description: From the activation of the crisis team to the recovery of critical systems.
  • Templates and workbooks: For DR plans, tests and continuous improvement.

This allows companies to:

  • Independently build an initial BCMS structure.
  • Identify and prioritize risks (including RTO/RPO specifications).
  • Create emergency and recovery plans that comply with NIS2 requirements.
  • Prepare regular tests and audits to ensure compliance.
