Security officer according to §166 TKG
According to §166 of the Telecommunications Act, in addition to the obligation to submit a security concept, there is also the obligation to appoint a security officer.
This role can be outsourced. This task typically requires only a few days of work per year. Therefore, conserve your internal resources, avoid the costly development of in-house expertise, and instead rely on our experienced experts. We will work with you to determine the necessary technical precautions and other measures, create your security concept in accordance with Section 166 of the German Telecommunications Act (TKG), and handle all coordination with the Federal Network Agency (BNetzA).
We will then continue to be available as a contact person for you and the BNetzA and will take care of maintaining the necessary documentation.
Furthermore, we are always available as a competent partner in the event of audits by the BNetzA.
Upon request, we can assume the role of security officer for you as part of an appointment as "External Security Officer according to §166 TKG" .
