IT Baseline Protection Catalogs - The IT Baseline Protection Catalogs Layout

The IT Baseline Protection Catalogs Layout

To familiarize the user with the manual itself, it contains an introduction with explanations, the approach to IT baseline protection, a series of concept and role definitions, and a glossary. The component catalogs, threat catalogs, and the measures catalogs follow these introductory sections. Forms and cross-reference tables supplement the collection available on the Federal Office for Security in Information Technology's (BSI) Internet platform. Here you can also find the Baseline Protection Guide, containing support functions for implementing IT baseline protection in procedural detail.

Each catalog element is identified by an individual mnemonic laid out according to the following scheme (the catalog groups are named first). C stands for component, M for measure, and T for threat. This is followed by the layer number affected by the element. Finally, a serial number within the layer identifies the element.
