IT Security

Information and communications technology (ICT) is already an integral part of nearly all business processes of an energy supply company. ICT facilitates such business processes, which is advantageous, but also leads to an increased dependence on ICT systems, which entails a higher risk for companies.
To take account of this threat and particularly the increased risk of attacks on supply security, the legislator stipulated specific requirements for a safe operation of grids in the IT security catalogue (IT-Sicherheitskatalog). The legislator assumes that an ICT system used for grid control purposes is adequately protected if the key requirement of the catalogue is met, i.e. if an information security management system (ISMS) pursuant to ISO 27001 is implemented.
Establishing such an information security management system is, however, not an easy task and may, especially in the initial phase, require a lot of money and effort.
Our experts are not only certified ISMS specialists and ISO 27001 lead auditors, they also have a profound knowledge of the processes within the energy industry and the ICT systems in use. We are therefore well-equipped to provide energy suppliers with comprehensive advice.
