Harald K.
Last position:
Lecturer - Business Informatics & Business Administration at Fachhochschule des Mittelstands (FHM)
As part of my work, I focus on three key areas that are essential for the innovation and future viability of business and society: business start-ups, digitalization and automation, and career planning and personal development.
One focus is on the challenges and opportunities of starting a business—especially academic start-ups as drivers of regional and national innovation. I teach skills for the entire start-up process: from idea creation and building viable business models to managing and scaling a company.
The topic of digitalization and automation covers technical, economic, and social dimensions. It includes basics of digitalization, automation technologies, IIoT and smart manufacturing, software and IT infrastructures, and application areas in various industries. I also analyze human-machine interaction, economic impacts, and future trends that have a lasting effect on companies.
In the area of career planning and personal development, I support future specialists and managers in developing their personal strengths, recognizing their entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial potential, and designing an individual market and career strategy. Topics such as personal branding, personal marketing, and strategic career planning are key to fostering long-term professional direction and proactive action.

About the technology
Information Security Management via BSI IT-Grundschutz
BSI Standard 200 defines the modern methodology for establishing and operating an Information Security Management System (ISMS). Published by the Federal Office for Information Security, the series establishes clear frameworks for baseline protection, standard protection, and core protection across IT environments.
Core Methodology Across the 200 Series
The framework consists of interconnected components designed for robust security management:
- BSI Standard 200-1 outlines the general requirements for an operational ISMS.
- BSI Standard 200-2 governs the practical IT-Grundschutz methodology and security concepts.
- BSI Standard 200-3 provides standard risk analysis procedures for elevated protection requirements.
- BSI Standard 200-4 structures business continuity management to secure critical processes during outages.
Ecosystem and Tooling Integration
- Modeling security concepts with tools like verinice, HiScout, and serNet solutions
- Mapping IT-Grundschutz-Kompendium modules to operational infrastructure
- Structuring structural analyses, network plans, and component categorizations
- Defining safeguard implementations and protection requirement definitions
When Organizations Bring In Freelance Specialists
Enterprises engage external specialists when internal teams lack capacity to modernize legacy BSI Standard 100 setups, align supply chains with public sector mandates, or prepare critical infrastructure for formal audits. Freelance professionals accelerate gap analyses and fast-track the creation of audit-ready security documentation.
Requirements Across German Industries
German public authorities, KRITIS operators, and automotive suppliers frequently mandate adherence to BSI IT-Grundschutz. Freelance specialists bridge technical IT operations with compliance requirements, helping enterprises navigate sector-specific security standards and maintain valid documentation in German for domestic oversight bodies.
Hallmarks of Strong Security Professionals
Top practitioners demonstrate deep familiarity with the IT-Grundschutz-Kompendium and hold recognized certifications such as BSI IT-Grundschutz-Praktiker or Auditor. They communicate pragmatic mitigation steps without drowning engineering teams in administrative bureaucracy, ensuring sustainable ISMS operations.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about BSI Standard 200, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
The BSI Standard 200 series establishes a systematic methodology for planning, implementing, and running an Information Security Management System according to German IT-Grundschutz. It provides structured guidance on protection requirements, risk assessments, and business continuity management for enterprises and public administrations.
While ISO/IEC 27001 sets broad requirements for security management, BSI IT-Grundschutz offers concrete, actionable safeguards through its standard building blocks. Organizations often use the 200 series to achieve an ISO 27001 certificate based on IT-Grundschutz, blending international recognition with detailed technical depth.
The modernized BSI Standard 200 streamlined the previous 100 series by introducing flexible entry tiers: basic, standard, and core protection. It replaced heavy catalog modules with the modular IT-Grundschutz-Kompendium, making security implementations significantly faster for small and medium organizations.
Specialists working with BSI Standard 200-2 commonly rely on dedicated ISMS tooling such as verinice or HiScout. These platforms automate structural analysis, map assets to building blocks, track safeguard implementation states, and generate audit-compliant documentation.
Organizations implementing BSI Standard 200 should seek professionals accredited as a BSI IT-Grundschutz-Praktiker, IT-Grundschutz-Berater, or licensed IT-Grundschutz-Auditor. These credentials confirm practical competence in security modeling and formal certification readiness.
Most analytical tasks under BSI Standard 200, including policy creation, gap analysis, and document reviews, proceed efficiently in remote setups. However, initial workshops, on-site walkthroughs of data centers, and final mock audits in Germany frequently benefit from physical presence.
Within the suite, BSI Standard 200-4 handles Business Continuity Management (BCM), replacing the older 100-4 standard. It enables organizations to establish reactive structures, conduct business impact analyses, and ensure critical business functions survive major system failures.
Because BSI Standard 200 documentation, technical guidelines, and official audit submissions to the Federal Office for Information Security are predominantly drafted in German, professionals must possess high-level German communication skills to collaborate with domestic stakeholders and regulatory bodies.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used BSI Standard 200 in their recent projects is 115 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 917 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used BSI Standard 200 in their recent projects, 86% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 57% hold at least a Master's degree, and 19% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used BSI Standard 200 in their recent projects have 27 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.9 years.
The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used BSI Standard 200 in their recent projects are German (100%), English (83%), and French (17%).
The most common industries among freelancers in Germany who have used BSI Standard 200 in their recent projects are Information Technology (90%), Professional Services (77%), and Manufacturing (57%).
The most common business areas among freelancers in Germany who have used BSI Standard 200 in their recent projects are Information Technology (100%), Project Management (90%), and Quality Assurance (77%).
