IT Security Act 2.0

Much criticism and new requirements have come with the IT Security Act 2.0 since it came into force in May.

The aim of the renewed law is to increase security for IT systems and to strengthen the position of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).

Companies with a special public interest (e.g. with great economic importance) are now subject to the same obligations as operators of critical infrastructures. Who exactly will have to fulfil the requirements for CRITIS in the future (threshold values) is still being defined by the responsible authorities:

The obligations include, among other things, the reporting of security breaches and compliance with minimum protection standards for IT systems. These are self-reported by companies as part of a self-declaration on certifications, security audits and measures.
