The German Bundestag has approved the KRITIS-Dachgesetz, establishing uniform minimum standards for protecting critical infrastructure across sectors. The law covers energy, transport, finance, health, water, IT, food, space, and public administration. Critical infrastructure is defined as essential services providing for over 500,000 people. Operators must implement physical protection measures, risk assessments, and reporting obligations for incidents. The parliamentary process now allows states to identify additional critical facilities under their jurisdiction, with federal criteria to be set via regulation requiring Bundesrat approval. A two-year review of the law is planned instead of the originally proposed five-year evaluation. The KRITIS-Resilienzstrategie will address transparency requirements for critical infrastructure. The law aims to align with EU resilience guidelines for critical assets.
