BSKI membership: Critical infrastructure protection
Protecting critical infrastructure as a whole
Security of supply depends on people, processes, buildings and digital systems. Our corporate membership in the BSKI connects us with a network that focuses on these connections.

Visit the official association websiteWhat this network stands for
The BSKI focuses on risks affecting critical infrastructure and its suppliers. Its approach covers prevention, incident response and post-incident improvement: identifying threats early, preparing for events and learning from incidents.
For SYNEDAT, these topics are closely linked to IT security, resilient operational processes and the recoverability of systems. Membership has been in existence since November 2022. It complements our professional view of technical dependencies and the organizational requirements of effective protective measures.
Prevention with a view to dependencies
A single secure system is rarely enough. Identities, service providers, network connections and operational processes all influence the attack surface. A comprehensible inventory helps to prioritize protective measures according to their importance for the business process.
Prepare for Response
In the event of a malfunction, responsibilities, communication channels and decision-making powers must be determined. Incident response planning and proven restart procedures make this preparation tangible for the teams involved.
Learning from events
After an incident, causes, effects and improvements must be systematically considered. This results in verifiable measures for technology, processes and training. Resilience thus remains an ongoing task.
Membership Questions
How long has SYNEDAT been a member of the BSKI?
SYNEDAT has been a corporate member since November 2022.
What is the task of the BSKI?
The association connects organizations working on the overall protection of critical infrastructure and its suppliers. Its focus includes early identification of security risks, preventive measures, incident response and learning from incidents.
Why are suppliers relevant for critical infrastructure security?
Supply chains and outsourced IT services create dependencies. A failure or security incident at a service provider can have an impact on a critical process. Therefore, interfaces, responsibilities and restart conditions must be considered.
Which SYNEDAT services are suitable for this topic?
Security assessments, cloud security, incident response as well as backup and restart concepts can make a contribution. The appropriate scope depends on your initial situation and the processes affected.
Does membership prove certification or legal compliance?
Membership confirms the association connection. Certifications, assessment reports and compliance with specific requirements each need their own evidence and a clearly defined scope.
Where can I find information and events of the BSKI?
The official association website provides information about fields of work, contact persons and events. The external link on this page leads directly to the BSKI.
