2025 – a year of shared innovation
For DENIC, 2025 was a year of key decisions. The focus was on implementing the NIS 2 Directive.
The new composition of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board has further consolidated the development of our Cooperative, and Barbara Stolz, as the new Executive Board member, will bring valuable new ideas to the table.
A particular highlight of the year was the successful Domain pulse in Dresden – a valuable platform for exchange and discussion within the internet community.
Top topics
Technology: Ready for NIS 2
Our automated registration system is fit for the requirements of the NIS 2 Directive. This primarily concerns the data to be collected during domain registration and the verification of this data. The focus was on ensuring the registration process remains as convenient as possible for new registrants. And our domain query whois is ready to provide specific registration data, such as owner details for legal persons and the domain’s registration date.
Security: Crisis-proof & certified
Conducted by an external firm, the crisis management team had to face a realistic exercise. The conclusion: when things get serious, we are well prepared; we were also given some concrete recommendations to take on board. Thanks to thorough preparation, from the gap analysis to internal audits, the transition audit to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 at DENIC eG and at our subsidiary DENIC Services GmbH & Co. KG went perfectly. Crises cannot always be prevented; what is important is to tackle them in a well-organised manner.
Website: Straight to the point
New section for enquiries on our website: We direct visitors straight to the right point of contact. Enquiries can be submitted easily to the right point of contact. Another new feature is our cooperation with the independent eco complaints office. An interface forwards enquiries directly, ensuring they are handled reliably by the complaints office.
