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
What BSI Standard 200 covers
BSI Standard 200 is a family of guidance documents from Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security. It supports organisations in building, operating and improving an information security management system. The standards connect governance, risk management, IT-Grundschutz and business continuity in a structured framework.
The standard family
BSI Standard 200-1 defines the general requirements for an information security management system. BSI Standard 200-2 explains the IT-Grundschutz methodology, including the standard, core and basic approaches. BSI Standard 200-3 focuses on risk analysis, while BSI Standard 200-4 addresses business continuity management.
Typical deliverables
- Information security policies and an ISMS scope
- Structural and modelling overviews for the organisation
- IT-Grundschutz checks and security concepts
- Risk analyses with documented treatment decisions
- Business continuity plans, exercises and improvement actions
These deliverables help organisations turn security requirements into documented, repeatable practices that can be reviewed and maintained.
Where companies use it
The BSI standards are relevant to public authorities, regulated organisations and companies that need a clear basis for protecting information, services and infrastructure. In Germany, specialists often support preparation for IT-Grundschutz assessments, internal audits, customer requirements or procurement processes. They can also align the work with ISO/IEC 27001 where both frameworks are considered.
When external expertise helps
- An organisation is defining its first ISMS or restructuring an existing one
- Internal teams need an independent IT-Grundschutz assessment
- A risk analysis must cover complex applications, suppliers or locations
- Business continuity plans need testing and practical ownership
Freelance expertise is useful when a project needs focused knowledge without creating a permanent internal role. Remote collaboration works well for documentation, workshops and evidence reviews; on-site work can help with interviews, inspections and exercises.
What strong specialists bring
Strong BSI Standard 200 professionals understand both the documents and the organisation applying them. They can translate controls and methodology into sensible responsibilities, evidence, risk decisions and remediation plans. Look for clear documentation, sound interview techniques and the ability to explain why a measure is proportionate. The best specialists also connect IT operations, management requirements, suppliers and continuity planning instead of treating compliance as a paperwork exercise.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about BSI Standard 200, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
BSI Standard 200 is used to design, operate and improve an information security management system based on the German IT-Grundschutz approach. It covers governance, methodology, risk analysis and business continuity through the related standards 200-1 to 200-4.
BSI Standard 200 provides a Germany-focused route to structured information security using IT-Grundschutz methodology and BSI guidance. ISO/IEC 27001 is an international management-system standard; organisations may use both when they need German IT-Grundschutz practices alongside international recognition.
A strong BSI Standard 200 specialist often also understands ISO/IEC 27001, data protection, cloud security, supplier risk and audit preparation. Knowledge of business continuity, asset management and service operations helps turn the methodology into workable controls.
The right level depends on the scope, regulatory context and maturity of the organisation. A focused documentation review may need a specialist who can work independently, while a full ISMS, risk analysis or continuity programme requires broader delivery experience and strong stakeholder facilitation.
BSI Standard 200 work is often suitable for remote collaboration because policies, process documents, interviews and evidence reviews can be handled online. On-site sessions may still be useful for facility inspections, workshops, asset discussions or continuity exercises, especially when teams are distributed across Germany.
A BSI Standard 200 freelancer should provide an agreed scope, structured findings, traceable evidence and prioritised actions. Depending on the engagement, useful deliverables include an ISMS framework, modelling results, risk treatment decisions, security concepts or a business continuity improvement plan.
Ask how the specialist has applied BSI Standard 200 in organisations comparable in complexity and regulatory context. Review sample deliverable structures, their approach to interviews and evidence, and whether they can explain practical risk decisions rather than only repeat terminology.
BSI Standard 200 can support private companies as well as public authorities, particularly where customers, regulators or critical services require transparent security practices. Its methods can be adapted to the organisation’s size, technology landscape and risk profile without treating every environment identically.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used BSI Standard 200 in their recent projects is 116 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 926 € based on an 8-hour working day.
