What is BSI-Grundschutz?

BSI-Grundschutz (IT-Grundschutz) is a comprehensive methodology developed by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) to help organizations implement appropriate IT security measures. It provides a structured approach to identify and address potential risks and vulnerabilities in IT systems and processes. The methodology includes catalogs of security controls, management processes, and technical requirements designed to achieve a baseline level of security. It's commonly used to establish a security management system (SMS) and comply with regulatory requirements.
