# BSI IT-Grundschutz

**BSI IT-Grundschutz** is a security framework provided by the **Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI)**, the German federal agency for information security. It provides a comprehensive set of standards and modules for establishing and maintaining a secure IT infrastructure.

The [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] utilizes these standards to define its security policies. Specifically, the URZ references module **SYS.2.2.3.A5** ("Schutz vor Schadsoftware"), which mandates that Windows-based client systems must be fundamentally protected against malware.
