A questionnaire and a checklist (Appendix 1), have been 
developed as an aid to operators of infrastructure facilities in 
implementing the baseline protection concept. The 
questionnaire and the checklist are designed as 
interdisciplinary instruments and are intended primarily to 
initiate a discussion process within companies on how to 
enhance and effectively control security. Both the 
questionnaire and the checklist are to be considered only as 
samples, rather than definitive inventories. This means that 
missing items require to be added in the course of the 
process and any inappropriate questions are to be modified 
or deleted accordingly.
Questionaire / 
Checklist 
The aim of this development process is to jointly set priorities 
from the perspective of internal security in close consultation 
with the infrastructure operators and to operationalise 
measures for the protection of critical infrastructures.
