The challenge: Without clear processes, penalties, and downtime are a risk
Implementing the German directive regarding the resilience of essential infrastructure entities is not a “nice to have” – it is mandatory. But the complexity of the requirements pushes many companies to their limits:
- Increasing complexity: Documenting assets, processes, and risks is time-consuming and often unstructured.
- Lack of transparency: Data is scattered across paper, Excel spreadsheets, or legacy systems – a nightmare for quick decisions and audits.
- High risks of non-compliance: Penalties, loss of reputation, and shutdowns are real consequences if legal requirements are not met.
- Time pressure: Transition periods are short – those who fail to act in time risk losing their operating license.
- Lack of integration: Existing systems are often not designed to meet the requirements of legal documentation.
Time is running out – companies must take action now to ensure the security of their supply and resilience.
