NIS2 in Austria — transposition status and what’s changed

Austria adopted the Netz- und Informationssystemsicherheitsgesetz 2026 (NISG 2026) on 23 December 2025. The Act enters into force on 1 October 2026, at which point the NIS 2 regulatory framework becomes operational; the existing NISG 2018 regime continues to apply until then. The supervisory cooperation runs through the Federal Chancellery (BKA) and the Federal Ministry of Interior (BMI), which took over the NIS Office and GovCERT Austria from the BKA in April 2025. Approximately 4,000 Austrian entities are expected to fall within scope when NISG 2026 takes effect.
