BSI IT-Grundschutz is a compliance framework from Germany (used across the German-speaking countries and by German public bodies under the UP Bund) with 10 domains and 111 controls that map to 273 other frameworks. The largest domains are SYS: IT-Systeme (IT Systems) – BSI IT-Grundschutz (25 controls), APP: Anwendungen (Applications) – BSI IT-Grundschutz (20 controls), OPS: Betrieb (Operations) – BSI IT-Grundschutz (14 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.
