Harald Kirsch
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
What it covers
BSI Standard 200 is the core guidance family behind IT-Grundschutz in Germany. It helps organizations build a structured information security management system, assess protection needs, and document controls in a way that is auditable and practical.
Typical work
- Security concept development and updates
- IT-Grundschutz modeling and mapping
- Protection needs assessment
- Risk analysis for gaps and exceptions
- Preparation for audits and reviews
Common skills
Strong specialists know the BSI Standard 200-1, 200-2, and 200-3 series, plus the IT-Grundschutz Compendium. They should be comfortable with asset inventories, control selection, evidence collection, and clear writing for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
When to bring in help
Companies usually bring in freelance expertise when a security program needs structure, a certification path is being prepared, or an existing ISMS has drifted from the standard. In Germany, this also comes up when internal teams need support in German-language documentation and coordination with auditors.
What strong experts deliver
A good professional turns the standard into usable work, not shelfware. They create clean documentation, close control gaps, and help teams assign responsibilities without slowing delivery. They also know where IT-Grundschutz is enough and where a deeper risk view is needed.
Where it fits
BSI Standard 200 is common in public sector environments, regulated industries, critical infrastructure, and organizations that need a disciplined security baseline. It is often used alongside ISO 27001 work, but it brings a more concrete German method for daily security operations and evidence.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about BSI Standard 200, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
BSI Standard 200 is used to build and maintain an information security management system based on IT-Grundschutz. It gives teams a clear method for scoping systems, checking protection needs, and selecting controls. Companies use it when they need security work that is structured and defensible.
BSI Standard 200 is the standard family that supports IT-Grundschutz, but the terms are not identical. IT-Grundschutz is the method and body of guidance; the standard series defines how to apply it in a controlled way. In practice, people often search for both when they mean the same security program context.
BSI 200 projects usually rely on the full series, especially 200-1 for the management system, 200-2 for the methodology, and 200-3 for risk analysis. A strong specialist knows when each part applies and how the documentation should connect. That matters when you need evidence for reviews or audits.
A strong BSI Standard 200 specialist usually also knows ISO 27001, risk management, asset management, and control documentation. Experience with audit preparation and clear stakeholder communication helps a lot. In many cases, German-language writing is important too, especially for local teams and formal documents.
BSI Standard 200 work can be simple or complex depending on scope. A smaller gap assessment may only need a focused specialist, while a full ISMS build or redesign needs someone who has handled modeling, risk treatment, and evidence work before. The key is proven delivery on similar security structures, not a title.
For BSI Standard 200, much of the work can be done remotely if the specialist has access to the right documents, owners, and system descriptions. On-site time helps when workshops, asset walks, or leadership alignment are needed. In Germany, hybrid collaboration is common because documentation and interviews often need close coordination.
Look for a BSI Standard 200 specialist who can explain how they model scope, assign protection needs, and turn findings into actionable measures. Good signs are clean documentation, practical recommendations, and a calm way of handling gaps without overcomplicating the process. Ask for examples of IT-Grundschutz work, not just general security claims.
A BSI Standard 200 freelancer will want to know the current maturity of the security program, the scope, the document base, and who approves decisions. They may also ask whether the work is meant to support ISO 27001, an internal audit, or a public-sector requirement. Clear input up front makes the engagement much smoother.
