Video solutions for the physical protection of CRITIS operators and NIS-2 entities
Consider the CRITIS “resilience triangle” to develop a comprehensive security strategy.
It includes:
- Technical security:
Implement cyber-secure video surveillance systems (from geopolitically secure countries of origin) - Technical and organizational measures (TOM):
Establish risk, crisis and business continuity management processes. - Legal compliance:
Stay informed about current legal requirements.
Our recommendations for a holistic security strategy
1.
Carry out an impact and obligation check
- Check the current (and new!) laws and regulations in your country.
- Clarify whether your company is classified as a classic CRITIS operator or as an “essential” or “important” entity.
- Determine personnel, organizational and technical obligations.
2.
Implement safety standards and resilience measures
- Implement measures such as video surveillance, access control and intrusion detection systems for physical security.
- Make sure your software is up to date and meet cyber hygiene requirements.
3.
Audit by external experts
- Take advantage of offers such as the “NIS-2 conformity check for existing customers at product level” to check your products for NIS-2 compatibility.
- Ask manufacturers for security documentation and certified corporate, certified IT security standards such as ISO 27001
What you can do right now!
Affectedness check
Carry out the Dallmeier CRITIS Affectedness, Obligation and Solution Check (NIS-2|RCE-Check):
- Find out about the relevant national laws
- Clarify how your company is affected
- What protection and resilience standards are required for IT and cybersecurity? e.g. “Security in the supply chain”
- What protection and resilience standards are required for physical security? e.g. “state of the art”
- Is personal liability of the management provided for by regulation?
- Quick check for NIS-2 affectedness: German onlinetool by our Partners Noerr (Commercial law firm)
NIS-2 compliance check for existing customers “at product level”
Have your current systems checked for NIS-2 conformity.
Send us your Dallmeier product inventory list and receive a detailed analysis, recommendations and optionally an attractive “NIS-2 trade-in exchange offer”.
Pre-supplier and manufacturer check
Make sure that your suppliers and manufacturers meet the highest safety standards:
- Ask about “Security by Design” and “Privacy by Design”.
- Does the manufacturer use its own ISMS (Information Security Management System), which is also certified, e.g. in accordance with ISO 27001?
- Will the EU CRA (CyberResilienceAct) also oblige manufacturers to ensure cyber security at product level in future? e.g. obligation to SBOM to increase “security in the software supply chain”?
- How well does the manufacturer know the “video standard” DIN EN 62676-4 and does it apply this standard when planning and implementing its projects?
