\u201cThe RKE Act is the next important building block after NIS 2 (cybersecurity) and concerns the resilience of critical facilities to physical threat scenarios,\u201d explains J\u00fcrgen Karlsb\u00f6ck, Business Development Manager at Siemens. \u201cRisk assessment based on the all-risk approach is very central to the RKE Act. This means that critical infrastructure companies \u2014 energy and water suppliers, hospitals, food manufacturers, banks, transport, telecommunications and IT service providers, etc. \u2014 must deal with all physical threats that could arise. \u201d And that covers a wide range: from natural events or climate-related effects, such as floods, storms, rockfalls, to acts of sabotage caused intentionally by humans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RKE Act creates a uniform framework across the EU with the aim of strengthening the physical resilience and resilience of critical institutions against these threats and minimizing any existing weak points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor such a complex topic, it is recommended to work with a strategic partner.\u201d<\/p>\nJ\u00fcrgen Karlsb\u00f6ck Security Expert, Siemens AG Austria

Defined timetable<\/strong>
The Act sets out a minimum set of obligations that must be met. \u201cAnd there is already a very precise timetable for this,\u201d says Karlsb\u00f6ck. For example, the EU has required national governments to draft a national strategy and risk analysis by January 2026, which includes determining which companies and institutions are essential for the functioning of the country and are therefore covered by the RKE Act. By August 2026 at the latest, they will receive a notice asking them to carry out a risk analysis using the all-risk approach, which must be completed in May 2027. \u201cOne month later, in June 2027, the affected companies or organizations must submit a resilience and action plan to the Federal Ministry of the Interior,\u201d explains the security expert, \u201cincluding an exact definition in accordance with \u00a7 15, which technical, organizational and personnel measures have been taken to ensure physical security. \u201d But that’s not all: The risk analysis must be carried out again as appropriate, but no later than every four years, including transmission of the updated resilience and action plan to the Ministry of the Interior. \u201cWe currently expect that between 300 and 600 companies will receive a notification,\u201d says J\u00fcrgen Karlsb\u00f6ck. This is not so much about employee or turnover figures, but about belonging to the critical infrastructure. \u201cIn simple terms, you could say that the majority of all those that have already been covered under the NIS-1 Directive will also be affected by the RKE Act. \u201d By the way, reporting requirements are also included in the RKE Act: An initial report must be submitted to the competent authority immediately, but no later than 24 hours after a safety-relevant incident. A comprehensive safety report must follow 30 days later. Karlsb\u00f6ck: \u201cThe duties are very precisely defined and strictly regulated. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategic Partner<\/strong>
Siemens can support companies, institutions and critical infrastructure organizations in many areas, such as preparing a risk analysis using the all-risk approach or creating a zone concept. This deals, for example, with the question of how a fence must be constructed around the factory site, how open areas should be monitored, how the \u201couter skin\u201d of a building is secured or which resistance classes doors must have. J\u00fcrgen Karlsb\u00f6ck: \u201cSiemens experts have comprehensive expertise ranging from perimeter protection to property protection and room security. Based on our expertise and the risk analysis carried out, the necessary steps are easy to derive. \u201d With its extensive know-how, Siemens is an experienced partner in implementing technical measures \u2014 from planning to commissioning. With the completed certification in accordance with \u00d6VE\/\u00d6NORM EN 16763 (R9, R10, R11) in spring 2025, we offer our customers the highest quality security systems and legal and investment security. \u201cWhen I look at the complexity of the RKE Act or NIS 2, I am of the opinion that a strategic partnership can be very helpful for the companies concerned in implementing an economic, legally secure and at the same time resilient security solution,\u201d says the security expert.
