The aim of this baseline protection concept is to reduce the 
vulnerability of critical infrastructures
to natural events 
and accidents as well as terrorist attacks and criminal acts. In 
this context it focuses on building-related, organisational, 
personal and technical protection measures. 
The need for a baseline protection concept arises from 
statutory regulations and generally recognised standards,
1
 as 
well as generally recognised business principles of 
anticipatory risk management and strategic business 
planning geared to success and continuity – in the form of 
so-called business continuity management (BCM), for 
example.
Business background 
to risk management 
The initial target group for the development of strategic 
concepts 
for danger analysis, risk management systems 
and risk minimisation measures is top level management at 
infrastructure operators, who should bear the business risk 
and, where appropriate, liability risks in case of 
contraventions. The security officers are generally the points 
of contact at the companies for implementation of these 
strategic concepts. Implementation of the baseline protection 
concept is ultimately a task for the entire business in 
question, requiring support from all levels.
