This Vulnerability Assessment Policy serves as a critical governance document for organizations operating in Germany, establishing a structured framework for identifying and managing security vulnerabilities in IT systems and infrastructure. The policy is essential for compliance with German cybersecurity regulations, particularly the IT Security Act 2.0 (IT-Sicherheitsgesetz 2.0) and BSI requirements. It provides detailed guidance on conducting assessments, managing risks, and maintaining documentation in accordance with German legal standards. The document becomes particularly important in light of increasing cyber threats and regulatory scrutiny, offering a standardized approach to vulnerability management while ensuring alignment with German data protection laws and EU regulations. This policy should be implemented by organizations seeking to establish or maintain a robust security posture while meeting their legal obligations under German jurisdiction.
