What is IT-Grundschutz?

IT-Grundschutz is the German federal methodology for information security, maintained by the BSI. The four BSI Standards (200-1 ISMS, 200-2 Vorgehensweise, 200-3 Risikoanalyse, 200-4 BCM) plus the Grundschutz-Kompendium (catalogue of Bausteine) form the complete framework. Mandatory for federal bodies, widely adopted by Mittelstand and required of KRITIS operators.

Who needs to comply

  • Federal Bundesbehoerden and many Laender
  • KRITIS operators under BSIG §8a
  • Stadtwerke, energy utilities, hospitals, transport
  • Mittelstand vendors selling into the German public sector

IT-Grundschutz questions, answered.

What is IT-Grundschutz?

The BSI methodology for information security in Germany. BSI Standards 200-1/-2/-3/-4 plus the Grundschutz-Kompendium form the framework. Mandatory for federal bodies, widely used by Mittelstand and KRITIS operators.

Basis, Standard or Kern - which to pick?

Basis: minimum baseline, fastest to implement. Standard: full ISO 27001-equivalent. Kern: focus on crown-jewel processes. Most teams start with Basis and upgrade as the programme matures.

How does Grundschutz relate to ISO 27001?

Standard-Absicherung is equivalent to ISO 27001 - the BSI runs a combined "ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz" certification. Bausteine map to ISO 27002 with more concrete Anforderungen.

Where is data hosted?

European Union only. AES-256-GCM at rest. EU jurisdiction.
