Complex IT landscapes in the public sector
An overview of requirements, standards and threats
The digital transformation in the public sector brings with it a multitude of technical, organisational and legal requirements. Controlware supports public authorities and institutions in meeting these challenges with experience, vision and future-proof IT solutions.
- Safely comply with legal requirements
- 
                            
                                    Laws and standards such as the IT Security Act 2.0, NIS2, BSI Basic Protection or the KRITIS Regulation present public institutions with complex regulatory challenges. Compliance with these requirements is not only a legal obligation, but also crucial for digital sovereignty and public trust. Controlware understands the requirements in detail and offers tailor-made, EU-compliant IT solutions that meet the highest security and compliance standards. We support you in the design, implementation and auditing of your IT security measures – practical, scalable and future-proof. 
- Mastering technical complexity with confidence
- 
                            
                                    The IT landscape in public authorities is becoming increasingly complex: hybrid cloud environments, multi-regional networks and containerised workloads have long been a reality. Such systems require in-depth technical understanding, well-thought-out architectural decisions and a high degree of automation. Controlware combines proven network infrastructure with modern DevSecOps principles and supports you in setting up and operating your digital environment securely, efficiently and flexibly. Our expertise makes even demanding infrastructures manageable – whether locally, in the cloud or as a hybrid solution. 
- Effectively addressing the shortage of skilled workers
- 
                            
                                    The shortage of IT specialists poses organisational and operational hurdles for many public authorities – particularly when operating new systems or dealing with staff changes. At the same time, the demands on expertise, responsiveness and security competence are increasing. Controlware supports you with established operating models, tried-and-tested knowledge transfer and close cooperation on an equal footing. We ensure knowledge transparency, clear handover processes and sustainable operational stability – so that your IT remains efficient even in times of staff shortages. 
- Safe despite growing threats
- 
                            
                                    The threat to public infrastructure is more critical than ever before: the spectrum of possible attack vectors ranges from targeted APT attacks, social engineering and phishing to vulnerabilities in the supply chain and human error. Controlware counters these threats with a holistic security concept that combines preventive, detection and reactive measures. Our solutions – such as Cyber Defence Services, SOC as a Service and Vulnerability Management – offer active protection for sensitive data and systems. This means you remain capable of acting even in an emergency and can minimise risks at an early stage.
