IT Infrastructure for KRITIS Organizations

Highly available and resilient IT infrastructure, data center services, managed services and consulting – secure, compliant and made in Germany.

Digital Sovereignty for KRITIS

Secure, compliant solutions for KRITIS operators

Operators of critical infrastructure (KRITIS) carry a special responsibility.

The availability of their IT systems is essential to the supply of the economy, society and the state. At the same time, requirements driven by cyber threats, regulatory mandates and the increasing level of digitalization continue to grow.

GRASS-MERKUR supports KRITIS organizations in building and operating secure, highly available and future-proof IT infrastructure.

With our high-security data center in Germany, comprehensive managed services and consulting services around compliance and digital sovereignty, we create the foundation for stable and compliant IT operations.

When security becomes an obligation

Challenges for KRITIS operators

Today, operators of critical infrastructure must deliver far more than secure IT operations. They face complex requirements such as:

  • Implementing regulatory requirements (NIS2, KRITIS, DORA or industry-specific mandates)
  • Protecting sensitive data and critical systems
  • High demands on fault tolerance and business continuity
  • Protection against cyberattacks and ransomware
  • Integrating cloud and hybrid cloud architectures
  • Documentation and reporting obligations toward authorities and auditors
  • Building resilient IT and backup strategies
