Additional test procedure competence according to § 8a BSIG

Training

According to the IT Security Act, operators of critical infrastructures are obliged to provide the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) with proof of the implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures every two years.  

To ensure the validity of this proof, the audit team must demonstrate specific expertise in the areas of special audit procedures for Section 8a BSIG, audit expertise, IT security and information security expertise and industry expertise. 

Our training aims to provide you with the necessary additional audit procedure expertise in accordance with Section 8a BSIG. Our experienced trainers have developed the methods and tasks for this training course in close co-operation with the BSI and various other training providers.

 

This was done as part of a multiplier workshop to ensure that the content not only meets current requirements, but is also practical and effective.


Target group

The training course is open to all interested parties and is particularly recommended for internal audit officers, auditors and certified public accountants who are seeking audits in accordance with Section 8a (3) BSIG. It provides an in-depth understanding and practical knowledge to best prepare you for the audit processes.
