The BSI-Standards are published by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), and they contain information on setting up IT security. The various BSI-Standards are sorted according to the following numbers and criteria:
Since 2006 the Office for Information Security matches its standards regularly with international norms such as ISO and IEC 27001.

How these standards are introduced and implemented is described in the IT Security Catalogues, which have made up the IT Security Handbook along with BSI standards since 2005.
