We can help you with your questions about the jobs & skills of the future.

Why are IT-Grundschutz practitioners / consultants important?

Digitalization not only brings opportunities, but also risks. The IT baseline protection of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) counters these risks and thus ensures the security of sensitive data.

Securing sensitive information

The implementation of the BSI's IT baseline protection helps to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. This applies not only to business-critical information, but also to the personal data of customers and employees. Comprehensive implementation of IT baseline protection helps to comply with data protection standards and minimize the risk of data leaks.

Cyber threats

In the Allianz Risk Barometer 2024, around 36% of respondents stated that cyber incidents are the most significant risk. With the rise in cyber attacks, strong information security is becoming essential. With basic IT protection, companies can protect themselves against ransomware and other threats.

Compliance, data privacy and image

Compliance with data protection regulations is not only a legal requirement, but also a clear trust factor. Well-implemented IT baseline protection helps to ensure compliance with data protection standards. Companies thereby signal professionalism and a sense of responsibility. Being able to demonstrate expertise and commitment in the area of IT baseline protection will be increasingly in demand in the future.

Business continuity

IT baseline protection ensures the availability of IT systems and data and helps to maintain business continuity and minimize downtime. The Allianz Risk Barometer of 2024 makes it clear: around 31% of respondents recognize business interruptions as the second biggest risk for companies.

The trainers

Our trainers has the relevant didactic skills, the required specialist knowledge and the necessary practical experience to convey the topics in a clear and business-oriented manner. They have many years of professional experience as IT baseline protection experts.

Who is the IT-Grundschutz Practitioner / Consultant training course suitable for?

This Future Jobs Class is aimed at all persons in companies and administration who are responsible for information security or work in an advisory capacity and are seeking certification as an IT-Grundschutz practitioner/consultant with the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).

Information security officer

Information security officers and managers implement the corporate strategy with regard to information security. They develop concepts, guidelines and other specifications resulting from the implementation of IT baseline protection. They advise the CISO or company management on all information security issues in accordance with the BSI's IT baseline protection.

Chief Security Officer (CSO) & Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)

CSOs and CISOs are responsible for the security and information security of the entire company and have far-reaching management functions. They make fundamental decisions regarding the security strategy as part of the implementation of the BSI's IT baseline protection.

IT security officer

IT security officers develop strategies for the implementation of IT systems. In doing so, guidelines and other company requirements must be taken into account. These are based on the IT baseline protection specifications of the BSI, which is why a thorough understanding of IT baseline protection is essential.

Digitization officer

Digitization officers are responsible in companies for the transition from analogue technologies and methods to digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence and digital innovations. Information security in accordance with the BSI's IT baseline protection must be taken into account right from the initial planning stage. In this way, the digitalization process is accompanied by security technology from the very beginning and additional work and costs can be avoided later on.

Data protection officer

Data protection officers are responsible for the protection of personal data and aim to protect the person behind the data and information. The requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the BSI's IT baseline protection must be coordinated, which is why basic knowledge of IT baseline protection is also required for data protection officers.

Lateral and new entrants

With the BSI's IT baseline protection, lateral entrants and newcomers can create an essential foundation for an entry into the field of information security. IT baseline protection offers a comprehensive insight into this exciting and future-oriented field of work.
