In this thesis, the two standards for information security (ISO/IEC 27000 and BSI IT-Grundschutz) will be briefly described in order to identify similarities and differences.
The first chapter briefly describes the ISO/IEC 27000 family. The second chapter describes the BSI IT-Grundschutz standard. The third chapter compares the two standards in order to explain their similarities and differences. This is followed by a brief conclusion.
The international series of standards comprises several individual works that have been or will be successively published. Whenever ISO/IEC 27000 is mentioned, this always refers to the entire series of standards with all the standards contained therein. Probably the most widely used documents in this series of standards are ISO/IEC 27001, which specifies the minimum requirements for an information security management system (ISMS), and ISO/IEC 27002, which specifies Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001 and defines further information on the individual controls (Code of Practice).

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
The first chapter provides a detailed overview of the ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards, outlining its structure, key components, and the distinction between normative and informative standards. The chapter also emphasizes the importance of continuous improvement through the Deming cycle (PDCA) and highlights the role of ISO/IEC 27001 in establishing a standardized framework for ISMS certification.
The second chapter focuses on the BSI IT-Grundschutz standard, explaining its history, purpose, and core components. This chapter introduces the IT baseline protection procedure and its different assurance levels, emphasizing the holistic approach adopted by the BSI standard. It also examines the structure of BSI IT-Grundschutz, including its various building blocks and the distinction between process-oriented and system-oriented modules.
