The current ISMS funding guidelines for financial support for the introduction of an information security management system within the meaning of Art. 43 BayDiG expires on December 31, 2023. An extension was denied by the responsible state ministry. Also a foreseeable new edition.
If you, as a Bavarian municipality, are introducing an ISMS based on…
Working aid CISIS12VDS 10000BSI IT-Grundschutz (municipal profile, basic, standard or core protection) ISO 27001
or are planning to upgrade a smaller existing standard to one of the higher standards, then you should hurry up to apply for funding. (Attention: Differential funding from ISIS12 to CISIS12 is not possible.)
According to the statement Funding point on the website Your application should be received by November 15, 2023 at the latest. There are several reasons for this:
If received later, funding approval can no longer be guaranteed in time before the program ends due to the increased volume of applications in the final phase. The funding pot was large, but it is still coming to an end. And if there are no funds available to allocate, it doesn’t matter when the application is received.
However, you no longer need to start the project in 2023. Only the application and approval must be completed in 2023. Implementation can begin in 2024. You can therefore still secure funding for the years 2024 onwards this year.
You need an offer for support through advice and training from a qualified service provider. Qualified means that the service provider must be able to prove their suitability to the funding agency. Depending on the standard chosen, these can be:
Zertifikat CISIS12 Professional / OfficerZertifikat BSI IT-Grundschutz Praktiker / BeraterZertifikat ISO 27001 Officer
This is independent of whether you are introducing the ISMS or upgrading an existing ISMS. Our employees are of course approved for all standards. Please note: The new ISMS or upgrade should suit your organization. Since we are at home in all of the standards mentioned above, we can advise you on this for your organization and do not have to simply “sell” you one standard as the only right way.
The government of Upper Franconia is responsible. All details and the online application form can be found at https://www.regierung.oberbayern.bayern.de/aufgaben/leistung/leistung_35004/index.html
