Starting point
Subject to NIS2 as a KRITIS (critical infrastructure) operator, no ISMS, no documented security processes, no incident reporting channels.
Solution & result
Complete NIS2 implementation: gap analysis against all 10 requirements, ISMS setup, incident reporting, supply chain security, BSI registration.
NIS2 compliance achieved in 11 weeks, BSI registration completed, first simulated incident reported correctly, no fines.
NIS2 makes managing directors personally liable — without exception
- Art. 20 NIS2: managing directors can be held personally liable for up to €10 million or with their private assets — ignorance is no defense
- NIS2 applies to companies in 18 sectors — many SMEs do not know they are affected and risk fines
- The 24h reporting obligation for security incidents cannot be met without prepared processes — missing the deadline doubles the fine
Structured NIS2 implementation with complete evidence
- Applicability check in the first session: are you essential or important? Which requirements apply to you specifically?
- Implementation of all 10 NIS2 security requirements with prioritized measures and a realistic timeline
- Complete compliance documentation for regulatory audits — including ISMS, incident reporting and supply chain security

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about NIS2 Compliance at a glance.
01Am I subject to NIS2?+
NIS2 applies to medium-sized and large companies (50+ employees or €10M+ revenue) in 18 sectors: energy, transport, water, banking, financial markets, health, digital infrastructure, public administration and more. In a free initial consultation, we check whether you are affected — including indirect obligations as a supplier.
02What are the 10 NIS2 security requirements?+
NIS2 Art. 21 requires: (1) risk analysis & security policies, (2) incident handling, (3) business continuity, (4) supply chain security, (5) security in development, (6) assessment of effectiveness, (7) cyber hygiene & training, (8) cryptography, (9) personnel security & access control, (10) multi-factor authentication. We implement all 10.
03How does NIS2 implementation work?+
Weeks 1–2: applicability check and gap analysis. Weeks 3–8: implementation of technical and organizational measures by priority. Weeks 9–11: documentation, ISMS completion, incident reporting setup. Week 12: final presentation and proof of compliance. The timeline is binding — and we stick to it.
04How much does NIS2 compliance cost?+
For SMEs (50–200 employees), we estimate a project price of €15,000–35,000 for the complete initial implementation. Ongoing NIS2 compliance management from €1,200/month. Compared with a potential fine of €10 million, that is a manageable investment.
05Do we have to report cyberattacks?+
Yes. NIS2 Art. 23: for significant security incidents, you must submit an early warning to the competent authority (the BSI, Germany's Federal Office for Information Security) within 24 hours, a full notification within 72 hours, and a final report within one month. We build this process for you.
06What happens if we do not implement NIS2?+
Essential entities: up to €10 million or 2% of global annual revenue. Important entities: up to €7 million or 1.4% of revenue. On top of that comes personal liability for management. The German authorities have announced that they will actively carry out inspections.
