Information Security Officer · Braunschweig, Germany

Two security problems. One management system.

The old one: an ISMS that passes the certification audit and then gathers dust. The new one: staff are already using AI, policy or no policy. I treat them as one problem.

Today I run the ISMS at Amadeus Fire AG. Before that, I advised companies, critical infrastructure operators and German federal authorities on ISO 27001 and BSI IT-Grundschutz.

§ 1Focus areas

Four frameworks I treat as one system.

ISMS and audit
Operating and developing ISMS under ISO 27001, running internal audits and supporting external audits and recertifications.ISO 27001 · TISAX · ITSCM
Public sector and critical infrastructure
Security concepts under BSI IT-Grundschutz for German federal authorities, including classified work at VS-NfD level, and ISMS implementations for critical infrastructure operators.IT-Grundschutz · KRITIS · VS-NfD
EU regulation and defence
NIS2, DORA and the obligations of defence-industry suppliers, assessed by what contract, jurisdiction and classification level actually trigger. Read moreNIS2 · DORA · NATO AQAP · EUCI
AI governance
Rules and risk management for the use of AI under ISO 42001 and the NIST AI RMF, and where the EU AI Act meets an existing ISMS.ISO 42001 · EU AI Act · NIST AI RMF
§ 2Standards meet code

I do not just talk about AI in compliance. I build it.

Not a product, but a test bench: I check whether a standard holds up once you force it into a data model. Three principles that came out of it.

  1. Separation is architecture.

    Every table carries the organisation as a mandatory field. If you only check tenant separation in the application, you do not have it.

    organization_id uuid NOT NULL
    -- on every table
  2. No write without a signature.

    Read tools run automatically, write tools never without human approval. The oversight the AI Act demands, as code rather than a statement of intent.

    tool.read  -> auto
    tool.write -> approval + audit_log
  3. Maturity, not traffic lights.

    Red, amber and green have no direction. A maturity level shows where an organisation stands and what the next step costs.

    maturity: 0..5
    -- not: red | amber | green

Plus ongoing training on the attacker side, publicly visible on TryHackMe.
