The 2nd Amendment to the BSI - KritisV has been in effect since 1 January 2022.

For assets that are classed as critical infrastructures on the basis of the new asset categories or thresholds in accordance with the BSI Act, registration must take place no later than 1 April 2022 if the assets already exceeded the thresholds for the new asset categories under the 2nd Amendment to the BSI - KritisV in the 2021 calendar year. The implementation obligation pursuant to Section 8a(1) of the BSI Act must also be met by 1 April 2022. Evidence for the implementation of precautionary safeguards must be presented to the BSI no later than 1 April 2024.

For assets that were already classed as critical infrastructures prior to the introduction of the new BSI - KritisV as per the BSI Act, there will be no changes to the deadlines to submit evidence.

The 2nd Amendment to the BSI - KritisV primarily implements changes on the basis of the evaluation of the BSI - KritisV . The version of the BSI - KritisV after the 2nd ÄndVO 2021 will therefore sometimes also be referred to as ' BSI - KritisV 1.5'. The amendment of the BSI - KritisV , which will also incorporate the amendments from IT-SiG 2.0 , is due to be published in 2022.

The next amendment to the BSI - KritisV, which will incorporate the outstanding amendments from IT-SiG 2.0, is due to be published by the BMI in 2022.
