BSI 200-4: contingency plans that hold

The standard requires plans – they only become viable through infrastructure on which recovery and restoration actually work.

Why centron

What a contingency plan requires technically

BSI Standard 200-4 is staged – from a reactive BCMS to a standard BCMS. Technical requirements grow accordingly.

Backups beyond reach

With the object lock function of S3 Object Storage, backups are immutable – within the retention period they cannot be deleted, not even with stolen credentials.

Recovery instead of reprocurement

A prepared secondary environment shortens recovery to what the plan specifies – instead of waiting for hardware delivery times.

The same framework as yours

centron’s information security management system is certified to ISO 27001 based on IT-Grundschutz by the BSI (certificate BSI-IGZ-0773).

Exercises with participants

Contingency exercises need a provider that takes part. Named contacts help plan the test restore rather than administer it.

From risk analysis to operations

From protection needs assessment to recovery

The order is set by the standard: assess protection needs, run a business impact analysis, implement technically, exercise and evidence. The first two steps remain with you – they depend on your systems and your responsibility. From step three centron delivers: separated backups, a prepared secondary environment and the documentation your evidence trail needs.

In brief

What infrastructure does emergency management to BSI 200-4 require?

Emergency management to BSI Standard 200-4 requires backups an attacker cannot reach and a restoration that can be exercised. The core building block is S3 Object Storage from 5,00 € per month with object lock, complemented by cProtect for fast recovery and Managed Services for supported operations. The infrastructure runs in our own German data centres, certified to ISO 27001 based on IT-Grundschutz (BSI certificate BSI-IGZ-0773) and with an unqualified BSI C5:2020 Type 1 attestation.

Frequently asked questions

Does centron write our contingency plan?

No. The protection needs assessment, business impact analysis and the plan itself remain with your authority – they depend on your systems and your responsibility. centron provides the infrastructure on which the planned recovery times are achievable, plus the evidence: certificates with scope, documentation of technical measures and the data processing agreement in the Trust Center.

How does BSI 200-4 relate to the former standard 100-4?

BSI Standard 200-4 replaced Standard 100-4 and describes how to build business continuity management within IT-Grundschutz. It is staged: from a reactive BCMS through a development BCMS to a standard BCMS. Which stage suits you depends on your protection needs – the technical requirements grow accordingly.

Can contingency exercises be run with centron?

Yes. Test restores and recovery exercises can be planned and supported – with named contacts instead of a ticket system. That is the difference between a plan on paper and one whose recovery time you can evidence.
