Play It Save with BSI IT-Grundschutz
Over 100+ Trust Our GRC Solutions
Excellent Solution
With our own ISO 27001-certified information security management system.
Model information networks, define protection requirements
Structured mapping of information networks forms the basis of IT-Grundschutz—but in practice, clarity, consistency, and a uniform approach are often lacking. Spreadsheets, Visio files, or decentralized lists quickly lead to gaps or duplication.
Athereon GRC offers intuitive, visual modeling functionality that allows you to structure your organizational units, processes, applications, and systems in accordance with standards. Dependencies and protection requirements are captured directly in the system—transparent, auditable, and centrally documented.
Assessing protection needs: structured and comprehensible
Assessing confidentiality, integrity and availability is essential, but many companies struggle with unclear criteria, subjective assessment, and a lack of comparability.
With Athereon GRC, the protection needs assessment is guided, standardized, and consistent across all assets. Predefined evaluation criteria, help texts, and inheritance systems facilitate the assessment and ensure that the process remains both efficient and transparent.
Model requirements, implement measures
The BSI's catalogue of measures is extensive and without central control there is a risk of media disruption, redundant tasks and a lack of implementation transparency.
Athereon GRC automates the assignment of relevant compendium blocks to your assets and enables the structured derivation of target actions. These can be assigned directly to the responsible parties as a lived compliance activity, including clear workflows, traceability, and progress monitoring.
Implementation evidence such as guidelines, operationalized measures or other relevant objects can be flexibly linked and managed centrally.
Prepare for certification: audit-ready with one click
If evidence is only prepared shortly before the audit, the effort increases enormously and important details are lost. However, continuous traceability is a central component of ITG.
Athereon GRC generates all relevant reports, action overviews, and supporting documents at the touch of a button. Logs and audit trails are maintained automatically. This ensures you have access to information at any time, whether for internal review or external certification.
Why Leading Companies Prefer Athereon GRC
Organizations relying on our technology.
„Die Zusammenarbeit mit Athereon GRC war sowohl in der Projekteinführung als auch in der laufenden Nutzung sehr unkompliziert. Es gab immer einen kompetenten Ansprechpartner. Auftretende Probleme wurden und werden nach Meldung zeitnah beseitigt und Fragen zu bestimmten Funktionen von Athereon GRC wurden immer schnell beantwortet. Außerdem werden Ideen für neue Funktionen oder Verbesserungsvorschläge mit großem Interesse aufgenommen und dann in einem zukünftigen Release veröffentlicht. Als größten Vorteil bzw. Stärke haben wir die unbürokratische, kundennahe Zusammenarbeit schätzen gelernt, die wir bei anderen Anbietern doch mitunter vermissen. Besonders gefallen uns auch die seit einiger Zeit veröffentlichten Videos zu Athereon GRC. Das Produkt Athereon GRC kann für Verwaltungen des öffentlichen Dienstes unserer Größenordnung durchaus weiterempfohlen werden.“

Step by Step to BSI ITG-certification
Your journey to IT-Grundschutz with Athereon GRC.
1. Define Scope
First, you determine which parts of the organization (e.g., business processes, IT systems, locations) fall within the scope of certification.
With Athereon GRC, you can model the information network flexibly, visually, and in compliance with regulations right in the tool.
2. Determine protection needs
The next step is to assess how critical individual components are in terms of confidentiality, integrity and availability.
Athereon GRC platform guides you step by step through the protection needs assessment and automatically derives the right requirements.
3. Choose model
Depending on the scope and objective, the appropriate ITG model is selected: basic, core or standard protection.
With Athereon GRC, you simply select the desired model and automatically receive the appropriate implementation support.
4. Analyze risks
For areas requiring particular protection, a supplementary risk analysis is required. This will result in specific additional measures.
Athereon GRC offers an integrated, ITG-compliant risk analysis with a direct link to the catalog of measures.
Athereon GRC also supports the automatic creation of risks based on mapped threats.
5. Document measures
The technical and organizational measures are now being implemented and fully documented. This is a central part of the certification.
With automated workflows, task allocation, progress monitoring, and evidence generation, Athereon GRC supports you in efficient implementation.
6. Pass certification
Finally, an internal audit or external readiness assessment is conducted in preparation for certification by an accredited body. Athereon GRC delivers audit-proof protocols, audit trails, and reports at the touch of a button—ideal for internal auditors and auditors.
