ISMS Certification as a Requirement for KRITIS Operators

Companies operating critical infrastructures (KRITIS) are subject to the provisions of the IT Security Act (IT-SiG). Implementing Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) is mandatory for critical infrastructure operators. Critical infrastructures, which provide essential services to society, must be particularly protected. These include health services such as hospitals, pharmacies, and manufacturers of vital medical products, as well as sectors like water and energy supply, emergency services, IT, and telecommunications. These are services that the general population depends on for essential needs.

The IT Security Act mandates that operators of critical infrastructures review their security every two years. Additionally, KRITIS operators must report significant IT security incidents to the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). Companies are required to have a point of contact available at all times to report or receive security incidents and take appropriate action.

Due to rapid technological advancements and the growing digitalization of almost all aspects of life, it is essential to create secure infrastructures. Damage to critical infrastructures can lead to severe consequences for health, safety, and the economic and social well-being of society or disrupt government functions.

Currently, organizations classified as critical infrastructure include:

  • Energy
  • Health
  • IT and Telecommunications
  • Transport and Traffic
  • Media and Culture
  • Water
  • Finance and Insurance
  • Food Supply
  • Government and Administration

The BSI Act specifies that only facilities, installations, or parts thereof that are vital to the functioning of society are considered critical infrastructures. This is determined based on thresholds outlined in the BSI-Kritis regulation.

Implementing an ISMS according to DIN ISO/IEC 27001 helps protect companies from system failures or attacks. This international ISMS standard, based on a risk management approach, provides the necessary tools and methods to ensure information security.
