TKH Security focuses on physical IT protection under NIS2

The NIS2 directive is increasing requirements for cybersecurity and resilience within companies and critical infrastructure. Beyond protecting digital systems, the directive places a stronger emphasis on the physical security of IT infrastructure, such as servers, network components, and data lines.

TKH Security GmbH is addressing these requirements through a portfolio focused on access control, video management, and defined response processes. Carsten Keite, Managing Director of TKH Security GmbH, emphasizes that unauthorized physical access can bypass digital protection mechanisms. Consequently, experts recommend integrating cybersecurity and physical security into a holistic concept.

The risk-based approach of NIS2 includes technical, operational, and organizational measures. Key areas of focus include access control, incident handling, business continuity, and multi-factor authentication. Solutions like IPROTECT facilitate role-based permissions and traceable access documentation, which can be supplemented by mechanisms such as anti-passback or two-person authorization depending on individual risk analyses.
