Mobile working in public administration – a special challenge for IT security
The working world is becoming increasingly more mobile. Due to digitalization, more and more people are working while on the move or from home. While this means flexibility, it also poses a number of challenges for federal ministries, public authorities and private companies. Mobile working (also referred to as remote working) in different situations and systems creates various requirements for IT security and calls for solutions tailored to the specific organization.
What our solutions can offer you
If sensitive data, including data classified as restricted (VS-NfD classification in Germany), is to be processed, the systems used must have the required approvals. Mobile staff who do not process classified data require different ICT solutions. The requirements for the systems used depend on the planned application area.
Mobile forms of working for fast implementation have to be developed, not just in crisis situations. Ideally, remote working solutions should also meet with all of an organization’s security requirements during both the crisis and under normal conditions. In order to ensure that all IT security requirements are fully observed, even during short-term peak loads, it is essential that mobile working measures have a modular design and are geared specifically to the intended purpose. If classified information, including information classified as restricted, is to be processed by employees working from home or on the move, the protection requirements become even more complex.
Remote working at the highest security standard right up to restricted level (VS-NfD)
There is no one universal solution for mobile working. Every ministry, every public authority and every company needs specific products and solutions to meet the respective security level of their organization and the individual working conditions of each employee. Bundesdruckerei’s solution offers modular products that can be combined for precisely this purpose. High scalability and fast implementation ensure that employees are able to work while on the move. All of the VS-NfD-compliant solutions from the Bundesdruckerei Group have been approved by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). This means that the end user can process data right up to restricted (VS-NfD) level even while on the move.
