A 30-minute presentation for board members, CEOs, advisory board members, and supervisory board members. Why your company may be affected even though NIS2 does not directly regulate it. This is not a technical presentation, but rather a leadership issue.
What It’s All About
NIS2 directly regulates approximately 30,000 companies. Through contracts, the requirements are passed on to approximately 300,000 suppliers who are indirectly affected. Failure to provide the required documentation may result in disqualification from tenders.

What matters is not your industry, but your customers’ industry and the nature of your integration into their processes and systems (Sattler 2026, Chapter 1.2.3).
Procedure
Six concise modules, ranging from the domino effect to an invitation to the in-depth kick-off workshop.
Why NIS2 is a leadership issue, not just an IT task.
How requirements are passed down from regulated major customers to suppliers through contracts.
Extent of damage, market dynamics, and the timeline from 2025 to 2028.
Management responsibilities that cannot be delegated and the competitive advantage gained through timing.
Four Key Questions: Are You Affected?
A preview of the one-day NIS2 kick-off workshop and your next steps.
Self-Test
An abridged excerpt from the structured impact assessment conducted during the kick-off workshop.
01
Do you have customers in any of the 18 regulated industries, and does any one of them account for more than 20 percent of your annual revenue?
02
Do you have technical integrations such as VPN access or API interfaces to customer systems?
03
Would your downtime significantly disrupt your customer’s operations?
04
Has a customer already asked about your security measures or requested an audit?
Anyone who answers “yes” to at least one or more of these points is highly likely to be affected and should take action promptly (Sattler 2026, Chapters 1.2.3.1 through 1.2.3.5).
