Examples of using existing
structures and synergy
potential
Consulting programmes
•• Advisory services for citizens and private consumers (e.g. by .BK, Advisory Service of
Criminal Police, AK, VKI, OCG, etc.)
•• Consulting of enterprises and start-ups as well as customised consulting and training
programmes (including possible certification services) for ICT service providers in the
framework of the WKO’s special association for “consultancy and IT” (UBIT) (e.g. by
the start-up service of the WKO, .BK, BMWFJ, A-SIT, etc.)
•• Consulting of organisations in the field of public administration (e.g. by PDÖ, A-SIT)
•• Specific consulting services on critical infrastructure to enterprises (e.g. by .BK, WKO,
BMWFJ, A-SIT, etc.)
Security instructions: ICT users are
highly aware of ICT security issues when
registering and using online applications.
This is relevant to ICT customers when
purchasing ICT products and ICT services,
awarding contracts for developing
products or services or operating ICT
applications or ICT infrastructure.
To this end, compliance with security
instructions is to become compulsory for
operators of online applications and ICT
service providers (trade, development
and operations). Clearly structured and
comprehensive security instructions will be
developed, coordinated and made available
to operators of online applications as well
ICT service providers—in cooperation with
interest representations and taking national
and European legislation into account. The
ultimate goal of the security instructions is
to protect ICT users and ICT customers.
Accompanying measures
ICT Security Encyclopaedia: Finding a
common language. As a first step, the ICT
Security Encyclopaedia will explain the
technical terms used in the context of the
ICT Security Strategy. It has to be revised
and updated on a regular basis.
Developing and implementing a marketing
concept: In the framework of a marketing
and media concept, the brand and a
style guide will be developed to ensure
the positive positioning of ICT security,
professional presentation as well as the
30
highest possible level of awareness and
recognition.
Establishing public-private partnerships:
Different media and, in particular, different
communication channels are required
to implement the planned awareness
campaigns. Multipliers for the information
and communication required will be found
by establishing public-private partnerships
with other stakeholders in Austria. These
stakeholders will be published as PP
partners on the ICT security portal.
Establishing a coordination structure:
An appropriate coordination structure
covering all stakeholders involved must be
developed so as to ensure a harmonised
and coordinated approach (management
and control) within the framework of
comprehensive awareness measures.
Coordination and communication channels
have to be established between individual
stakeholders, the responsible points of
contact as well as implementation plans.
Developing and implementing monitoring
measures: Monitoring measures must be
developed and used regularly with a view to
ensuring the effectiveness and sustainability
of the measures taken. To this end, suitable
monitoring measures and responsible
stakeholders have to be defined. Existing
instruments and structures must be used,
and suitable projects should be continued or
extended. :
