KRITIS and NIS-2 – Compliance and security for critical infrastructures

The EU NIS 2 Directive imposes new, binding requirements on operators of critical infrastructure (KRITIS) and “particularly important” and “important” facilities in a total of 18 sectors with high or other criticality. The aim is to effectively increase the cybersecurity of network and information systems, thereby ensuring the resilience of critical systems in the energy, health, finance, transport, and digital services sectors.

Companies covered by NIS-2 must implement comprehensive security measures, report security incidents, and establish comprehensive risk management.

ASTRUM-IT falls into the category of “medium-sized companies” with more than 50 employees and a turnover of more than EUR 10 million.
Important companies according to Section 28 II of the NIS-2 Implementation Act.

How ASTRUM IT prepares companies for NIS-2 and KRITIS

Which companies are specifically affected by NIS-2 and KRITIS?

The EU’s NIS-2 Directive applies in Germany to numerous companies in essential and critical sectors such as energy, water, health, finance, transport, and digital infrastructure. This affects both large and small and medium-sized enterprises that perform important social functions. They are obliged to implement high IT security standards, report security incidents, and introduce comprehensive cyber risk management. The directive thus strengthens the cyber resilience and security of supply of critical systems in Germany.
