IT for KRITIS and the energy sector: regulated, monitored, resilient

For energy providers and other KRITIS operators, cybersecurity is not a contract clause but law: the BSIG 2025 requires registration, risk management according to a binding catalog, and reports within 24 hours – with especially important operators under the proactive supervision of the BSI. And the obligations radiate outward: service providers and suppliers of regulated operators also get security requirements passed down to them.

This environment is no unknown territory for us but ongoing practice: our references include a multi-year engagement with a municipal energy provider – an F5 landscape, next-gen firewalls, and data-center infrastructure in KRITIS-relevant areas, security concepts to BSI and ISO 27001 requirements, extended since 2025 by the company-wide AI strategy.

What matters for KRITIS & Energy

  1. B-04Cyber Security & ProtectionPerimeter, segmentation, controlled access, and monitoring – built to the standards that are audited in KRITIS environments, and operated with the documentation depth that supervisors and auditors expect.
  2. B-03Network & ConnectivityControl technology, office IT, and external connections belong in separate zones with controlled transitions. We plan and operate segmented networks in which an incident in the office does not reach the supply.
  3. B-09Regulation & ComplianceNIS-2 applicability, registration, catalog of measures, reporting channels – we implement the obligations technically and organizationally and keep the evidence current, including as an external information security officer (ISB).
  4. B-06Business Continuity & ResilienceIn the utilities sector, recovery is not an IT metric but security of supply. A business impact analysis, geo-redundant backup, and rehearsed emergency plans make the worst case manageable.
  5. B-05Managed Services & SupportOperations with 24/7 monitoring, traceable changes, and reports that feed into your compliance evidence – as a complement to your internal IT, not a replacement.

NIS-2 for directly regulated sectors: an obligation with supervision

Energy is among the most strictly regulated NIS-2 sectors: registration with the BSI, risk management under Section 30, a reporting cascade of 24 hours / 72 hours / one month, personal obligations of executive management under Section 38. We know both perspectives – that of the regulated operator and that of the service provider who meets its requirements. From the applicability analysis through implementing the catalog of measures to ongoing evidence maintenance, consulting and technology come from a single source with us.
