Program Overview: What is KRITIS and German Cybersecurity Compliance Corporate Training?
KRITIS & German Cybersecurity Compliance Corporate Training is Edstellar's instructor-led program for security, legal, and operations teams at German critical-infrastructure operators. Participants work through the BSI Act, the IT Security Act 2.0, the German NIS2 transposition, KRITIS operator obligations, BSI Grundschutz controls, and incident reporting duties. The program fits organizations that must prove cybersecurity compliance to the BSI.
Sessions connect legal requirements to operational practice in guided workshops. Participants map their KRITIS obligations, design BSI Grundschutz security concepts, set up incident reporting workflows, and build audit evidence packs. Instructors coach your team through the registration and reporting mechanics, reviewing each exercise with direct feedback. The program closes with a capstone end-to-end KRITIS compliance assessment.
German cybersecurity law leaves no room for improvisation: missed BSI reports, undocumented controls, and supply chain blind spots draw enforcement. This program teaches your teams to run KRITIS compliance as engineered process, with evidence that satisfies auditors. The payoff is compliance that holds up when the BSI comes calling.
The capstone is a compliance assessment of the team's own operation: obligation mapping, Grundschutz control coverage, incident reporting readiness, and evidence quality scored against KRITIS requirements. Your team returns with a remediation plan their CISO can present to the board.
The program is designed for mixed cohorts of security, compliance, legal, and audit professionals who share responsibility for German regulatory obligations. Content adapts to your sector's KRITIS designation context, so energy, water, health, transport, finance, and IT teams practice on scenarios that mirror their own operating reality.
By the end of the program, teams can interpret designation criteria, complete BSI registrations, apply Grundschutz controls, draft incident reports within statutory timelines, and assemble audit-ready evidence. Materials include lab guides, reporting checklists, and reusable templates that accelerate rollout across sites.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
KRITIS compliance builds on an ISO 27001 ISMS and the NIS2 Directive, because German critical infrastructure rules sit on top of both. Once your team meets the KRITIS obligations under the BSI framework, it can apply that discipline to the OT and industrial systems many operators run.

Connect German Critical-Infrastructure Duties With Controls and Incident Evidence
Edstellar develops KRITIS assessment capability through facility classification, control design, and simulated reporting. Participants examine applicable obligations, prepare mock registration records, and connect BSI Grundschutz controls with incident and supplier evidence. The final assessment explains scope and remediation priorities, with feedback on documented assumptions, control traceability, and ownership of operational reporting workflows.
- Step 01
Consult
We explore regulated-operation responsibilities, security familiarity, and uncertainty about designation, reporting ownership, or control evidence to identify the cohort's KRITIS learning priorities.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish the German cybersecurity framework and designation analysis before operator obligations, then connect Grundschutz, incident reporting, and supplier assurance in the compliance assessment.
- Step 03
Align
We align German cybersecurity governance expertise with security, compliance, legal, and audit teams, using explicit sector and applicability assumptions for registration and reporting exercises.
- Step 04
Customize
We adapt sample facilities, operator records, and incident timelines to familiar sectors, preserving clear case criteria rather than assuming every deployment follows identical notification requirements.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants classify facilities, prepare mock registration and incident records, and assemble control evidence, receiving feedback on scope reasoning, reporting handoffs, and the completeness of supporting documents.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the compliance report for supported applicability judgments, traceable Grundschutz controls, coherent reporting and supplier evidence, and a prioritized roadmap with clear remediation owners.
