NIS-2 & regulatory compliance
From regulatory gap analysis to audit-ready implementation – we navigate the compliance landscape so you can focus on your core business.
NIS-2 is law. The clock is ticking. Are you compliant?
Germany’s NIS-2 implementation became binding on December 6, 2025 – with immediate effect and no transition period.
- Does your company fall within the scope of NIS-2? Approximately 29,500 entities in Germany are now regulated.
- Have you registered with the BSI? Registration is required by March 6, 2026.
- Is your management body prepared for personal liability? Board members can be held personally liable for cybersecurity failures.
The revised BSI Act (BSIG) imposes comprehensive requirements: risk management measures, supply chain security, incident reporting within 24 hours, and management body accountability. Non-compliance can trigger fines of up to €10 million or 2% of annual global turnover for essential entities.
Beyond NIS-2, industrial companies face a complex web of overlapping regulations: IEC 62443 for industrial automation, R155/ISO 21434 for automotive cybersecurity, TISAX for information security in the automotive supply chain, and sector-specific requirements from BNetzA (energy) or industry-specific codes.
T.A.S. FORCE cuts through this complexity. We map your specific regulatory obligations, assess your current maturity, identify gaps and implement a prioritized compliance roadmap – pragmatically and efficiently.
We turn regulatory pressure into structured, budgetable compliance programs – not panic projects.
NIS-2 Applicability & Gap Assessment
- Determination of NIS-2 applicability: "important" vs. "essential " entity classification
- Comprehensive gap analysis against BSI Act requirements (§30 risk management measures)
- Maturity assessment against NIST CSF 2.0 / IEC 62443 baselines
- BSI registration guidance and support
- Executive briefing for management body on obligations and personal liability
Even organizations with ISO 27001 certification typically meet only 70–80% of NIS-2 requirements. We find the gaps before the auditor does.
Compliance Roadmap & Implementation
- Prioritized implementation roadmap with quick-wins and strategic measures
- Policy and procedure development (incident response, supply chain risk management, business continuity)
- Technical measure implementation support
- Incident reporting process design (24h early warning / 72h detailed report / 1-month final report)
- Management training on cybersecurity governance obligations
Compliance is not a one-time checkbox – it’s an ongoing capability. We build programs that sustain compliance.
Multi-Standard Harmonization
- Mapping and harmonization of overlapping requirements (NIS-2 + IEC 62443 + ISO 27001 + TISAX)
- Single compliance framework covering all applicable standards – eliminating duplicate effort
- Sector-specific compliance support (Automotive R155/ISO 21434, Energy BNetzA/IT-Sicherheitskatalog)
- Cross-border NIS-2 mapping for organizations operating in multiple EU member states
Most companies don’t need 5 separate compliance programs – they need one harmonized framework that covers all requirements.
Audit Preparation & Evidence Management
- Structured evidence collection and documentation for regulatory audits
- Mock audits and readiness assessments
- BSI audit accompaniment and support
- Initial evidence of NIS2 measure implementation (required within 3 years, §39 BSI Act)
The best time to prepare for an audit is before the auditor calls. We ensure you’re ready.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions
"Why T.A.S. FORCE?" Your questions, our answers
How do I know if NIS-2 applies to my company?
NIS-2 applies to entities in covered sectors (including manufacturing, chemicals, energy, digital infrastructure and more) with more than 50 employees OR annual turnover exceeding €10 million. Germany’s BSI provides a self-assessment tool. We can conduct a definitive applicability assessment within 2–3 days.
We already have ISO 27001 – isn’t that enough for NIS-2?
ISO 27001 provides a strong foundation and typically covers 70–80% of NIS-2 requirements. However, NIS-2 introduces additional obligations around supply chain security, incident reporting timelines, management liability and OT-specific measures that ISO 27001 does not fully address. A structured gap assessment reveals exactly what’s missing.
