NIS-2 Implementation in the County of Goslar
Initial Situation & Client Profile
Landkreis Goslar is a public corporation and operates a local government administration with around 1,400 employees. A central part of the district is the KreisWirtschaftsBetriebe Goslar (KWB).
KWB combines the business areas of waste management, emergency medical services and a training center for emergency medicine and is managed as a separate organizational, administrative and financial entity without its own legal personality. In this role, KWB acts as a public waste management authority under the Circular Economy Act and is responsible for emergency medical services on behalf of Landkreis Goslar in accordance with the Lower Saxony Emergency Services Act.
The regulatory requirements of the NIS-2 Directive primarily affect KWB's waste management operations. This created the need to further develop existing security structures and adapt them to new requirements.
Our success story demonstrates how Landkreis Goslar and its municipal enterprise, together with SITS, are laying the foundation for a structured and sustainable NIS-2 implementation.

The Challenge
The KreisWirtschaftsBetriebe Goslar needed and continues to ensure that its waste management services falling under NIS-2 comply with the relevant regulatory requirements.
At the same time, dedicated structures were lacking to implement these requirements systematically and efficiently.
The central question was: How can a complex regulatory requirement be implemented in a structured, transparent and sustainable manner within a heterogeneous and operationally focused environment?
Implementation
For around 2.5 years, Landkreis Goslar has been working on implementing security standards based on the German BSI IT-Grundschutz framework. This existing experience, together with available documentation and established security mechanisms, provides the foundation for the current NIS-2 initiative within KWB.
Several key milestones have already been achieved throughout the project:
- Kick-off with operational management to define requirements and establish a roadmap for 2026
- Extended kick-off with department heads to refine the next steps
- Completion of an assessment to evaluate the current security maturity level
- Creation of a structured project plan for achieving NIS-2 compliance
SITS acts as a strategic sparring partner, providing methodological guidance and ensuring that regulatory requirements are translated into concrete actions.
The Result
Within KWB's management team and the involved departments, awareness of security-related topics has increased significantly.
At the same time, structures are being established that enable a sustainable and long-term implementation of NIS-2 requirements.
Particularly noteworthy is the close and trust-based collaboration between Landkreis Goslar and SITS, which forms a solid foundation for future initiatives.
