What it requires

What IT-Grundschutz actually requires.

These are the obligations a regulated entity owes — the things an assessor or supervisor will ask about.

01

Structure analysis and protection-needs determination.

02

Modelling against the IT-Grundschutz Kompendium (~100 modules).

03

Basic and standard security checks; risk analysis where elevated protection needed.

04

ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz certification path.

How Safeguard maps to it

Pre-mapped controls. Continuous evidence.

Each requirement above is bound to live telemetry — not screenshots. The mapping below is what your auditor or regulator sees.

Mapping of Kompendium modules to live telemetry where automatable.

Bridge to ISO 27001 audit for entities pursuing the dual certification.

Evidence we produce

Artifacts your auditor accepts.

Each evidence artifact is signed and timestamped. Auditors can verify integrity without trusting Safeguard.
