Security & NIS-2

Security for your supply chain.

If your company falls under NIS-2, you also have to keep an eye on the security of your direct service providers. This page explains what we measurably do, which documents you receive from us and whom you reach in case of a security incident.

What it is about

What NIS-2 requires of you.

In Germany the NIS-2 directive has applied since 6 December 2025 through the amended BSI Act. Entities in scope must implement risk management measures – explicitly including supply chain security, i.e. the security-related aspects of their relationships with their direct suppliers and service providers (section 30 (2) no. 4 BSIG).

If your website, mailbox or server runs with us, we are such a service provider. You then need answers to three questions: what does the provider do for security? What is agreed in the contract? Who gets in touch when something happens? This page answers all three.

Whether your company itself falls under NIS-2 is clarified by the BSI applicability check (in German). This page is no substitute for legal advice.

What we measurably do

Measures that a machine checks.

Not "we take security seriously", but what runs in operation and is measured again every day. Anything that could not be measured counts as unchecked with us – never as fine.

Sign-in without a permanent passwordAdministrative accounts sign in with a one-time link or a passkey. Revealing credentials, backups, deletions and staff accounts additionally require a second factor.
Backups twiceWeb space daily on the server and additionally off-site, 7 daily and 4 weekly versions. The backup of the administrative data is restored as a test every month automatically.
Updates every nightThe servers install security updates themselves, in the maintenance window 00:00–02:00. A pending reboot or a stalled automation is reported.
EncryptionTLS for website, customer centre, mail retrieval and file access. Credentials for third-party systems and the off-site backups are stored encrypted.
Virtualisation admin only from known addressesThe administrative interface of the virtualisation platform is reachable only from known addresses; repeated failed attempts lead to a block. Outgoing mail is limited per mailbox.
Daily checkEvery day a run checks reachability, certificates, backup runs, update status and access rules – and reports every deviation.
Separate accountsSeparate accounts, databases and virtual machines per customer. Development and automated testing never use real data.
Location GermanyThe servers are located in data centres in Germany whose operator is ISO 27001 certified.

If something happens

You hear it from us.

We report a personal data breach that has come to our knowledge without undue delay, with the information you need for your own notification (DPA, section 9). For NIS-2 entities the deadline for the first report to the BSI is 24 hours from awareness – which is why we do not wait for the full picture before letting you know.

The same applies the other way round: if you notice something suspicious about a service with us, reach us via the channels below. Abuse reports from third parties are recorded as a separate case and decided by a human.

What we do not claim

An honest assessment.

  • ProMedia24 is an owner-managed business and not ISO 27001 certified itself – the data centre operator is.
  • We do not call ourselves "NIS-2 compliant": you remain responsible for meeting your obligations. We provide the information and documents you need from a service provider for that.
  • Whatever you install on your web space or server yourself (WordPress plugins, for example) is your responsibility. With managed hosting we take care of the updates for you.
Frequently asked questions

Questions about NIS-2 and the supply chain.

Do I have to list ProMedia24 as a supplier in my risk management?
If your company falls under NIS-2 and you run your website, e-mail or server with us, we are a direct service provider within the meaning of section 30 (2) no. 4 BSIG. The documents on this page are meant for that.
Do I get the DPA even if I am not subject to NIS-2?
Yes. Every customer who processes personal data with us concludes the DPA in the customer centre – regardless of NIS-2 and at no extra charge.
How quickly do you report a security incident?
Without undue delay as soon as we know about it, with the information you need for your own notification. We do not commit to a fixed number of hours, because the first message to you should not wait for the full picture.
Will you fill in our supplier questionnaire?
Yes. Send it to kontakt@promedia24.de – we answer it with the information from this page and from the DPA.
Where are the servers located?
In data centres in Germany whose operator is ISO 27001 certified. Which service providers are involved in the processing is listed in the DPA and in the privacy policy.
