Most Mittelstand teams carry compliance debt across ISMS, BSI Grundschutz and NIS2 without a dedicated CISO. KaitoSec consolidates them into one operating system the ISB can actually run, with Simple Mode for everyday work and Expert Mode for the audit.
The challenge
Mittelstand teams carry obligations across ISO 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz and NIS2 while the ISB role is often half a job bolted onto IT. Requirements pile up faster than a spreadsheet-based ISMS can absorb them, and KRITIS or NIS2 audits expect structured evidence that Excel registers and Word policies can't produce on demand.
What's hard is consolidating ISMS, BCMS, DSMS and AIMS into one operating system a single person can actually run day to day, without a dedicated security engineer.

Benefits at a glance
KaitoSec ships with the full BSI IT-Grundschutz catalog pre-loaded: Bausteine, Gefährdungen, and Umsetzungshinweise. Map IT assets to Grundschutz modules and generate IT-Grundschutz-Vorgehensweise documentation without starting from scratch.
KaitoSec maps NIS2 security measures to existing BSI Grundschutz and ISO 27001 controls. Identify gaps, assign owners, and generate NIS2 incident reporting documentation from one platform.
Import existing Excel risk registers, Word policies, and audit findings into KaitoSec via CSV or manual entry. The platform structures and links existing work rather than replacing it, so institutional knowledge is preserved.
If the organisation falls under KRITIS or NIS2 essential entity obligations, KaitoSec generates the structured evidence packages required by BSI audits. Control implementation status, risk treatment decisions, and policy documentation compile automatically.
Existing risk registers, measure lists and policies are imported and carried forward in structured form. The platform mirrors the way your team already works and adds links, versioning and audit trails, so no one has to learn a new way of working from day one.
BIA, recovery strategies and BC plans capture sites, production lines and supply-chain dependencies. Outages in logistics, manufacturing or IT are assessed together, instead of disappearing into separate plans no one reconciles when it counts.
Most Mittelstand teams do not have a dedicated security engineer. KaitoSec's Cmd+J assistant drafts risk treatments, policy sections and audit answers from the live workspace context; Simple Mode walks new users through the next step; Expert Mode opens the full depth when the ISB needs it. One platform serves the ISB, the risk owner and the auditor at the depth each one needs.
Built on open catalogs: BSI, MITRE, OWASP, ENISA
