CIBORIUS® KRITIS protection: we protect what keeps society running
Critical infrastructure does not need individual products. It needs a connected security architecture. We build protection concepts that integrate people, technology and processes seamlessly and that meet the requirements of the KRITIS umbrella act und der NIS2 directive erfüllen.
Why isolated security solutions are not enough for critical infrastructure
Das KRITIS umbrella act calls for more than individual protective measures. It calls for a resilient system as a whole that detects, repels and documents physical and cyber-physical threats. The difficulty is that separate security systems have to work together seamlessly from access protection through video surveillance to emergency communication.
At CIBORIUS we think about security as a whole, connected and integrated. We orchestrate personnel, technical and organisational measures into a single, audit-ready system.
Our approach: four layers of protection. One system.
Instead of isolated products we build integrated security concepts in which people, technology, processes and documentation mesh with one another.
Personal
Qualified, background-checked security staff with KRITIS-specific training, directly connected to every technical system and escalation process. Digital duty records instead of handwritten reports.
Technologie
AI-assisted video analysis, autonomous security robots (CIBOTICS®), mobile surveillance towers (WatchDOME®) and electronic access control, with every system centrally controlled from one platform, with real-time monitoring and automatic alarm forwarding.
Prozesse
Defined procedures for normal operation, incidents and crises, aligned abgestimmt with your emergency plans, reporting chains and business continuity management. Clear responsibilities, documented escalation levels, regular exercises.
Three questions to ask yourself: do you meet the KRITIS umbrella act and NIS2?
The legal requirements on physical security keep rising. Anyone unable to demonstrate a complete security strategy risks fines, liability and the loss of client confidence.
Three questions to ask yourself
- Audit-ready documentation: Can you demonstrate your physical security measures completely to the BBK and the BSI?
- Connected systems: Do your security systems work as one, or are staff, video surveillance and access control separate islands?
- Supply chain security: Does your security concept meet what your KRITIS clients and partners require (KRITIS umbrella act and NIS2)?
Unser Fazit: If you answer even one of these questions with “no” or “not sure”, there is urgent work to do.
Connected security in practice
Integrated KRITIS security means every component, from perimeter protection through video surveillance to emergency communication, works together seamlessly. Each incident automatically triggers a defined chain of responses that keeps staff, technology and documentation in step.
Below are three scenarios from everyday KRITIS operations, and how our connected security architecture handles them. What matters is not any single technology but the intelligent interplay of all components, from the first alarm to the closing record.
Scenario 1: an unauthorised access attempt
- Remote video surveillance mobile or fixed, detects movement at the perimeter and passes the signal to the AI video analysis, which classifies the incident as critical
- Automatic alerting reaches the security staff on site and the central control centre at the same time, with the live picture attached
- An autonomous security robot oder Kameradrohne moves to the reported position and provides further visual reconnaissance from several angles
- The security officer receives a complete real-time picture on their mobile device, including camera position and the route to it
- Automatic documentation of the whole incident is written to the ISMS with timestamps and images, ready for the later audit trail
- Bei Bedarf: Direct escalation to the works fire brigade, the police or the BBK runs over predefined channels and carries all the relevant information
Scenario 2: routine patrol and prevention
- Security staff walk the scheduled round while the mobile recording system documents every checkpoint automatically and reports anything out of place
- An autonomous patrol unit (CIBOTICS) or a mobile camera system covers the defined routes in hard-to-reach outdoor areas at the same time and records the state of the plant continuously
- AI-assisted video analysis watches every fixed camera zone for anomalies and separates movement that matters from movement that does not
- The central control centre receives one consolidated picture from every data source and can reset priorities in real time
- Abweichungen such as doors left open or unusual conditions are recorded automatically, prioritised and escalated to the people responsible
Scenario 3: an inspection by the authorities
- ISO 27001-ISMS provides every required record at the touch of a button: resilience plan, risk analysis, training records and incident documentation
- Automatic reports show that every implemented measure is accounted for, with timestamps and named responsibilities
- Incident documentation is available in chronological order, timestamped and backed by images, with no need to prepare anything afterwards
- The technical systems can be demonstrated to auditors live, including alarm chains, video recording, access control and escalation processes
- Staff qualifications and the background checks carried out are documented centrally and can be evidenced at any time
KRITIS protection — FAQ: Frequently asked questions
What are the advantages of construction site monitoring?
Continuous monitoring of your construction site enables you to recognise potential problems at an early stage and react accordingly. Hazardous areas, stored material + machinery are efficiently protected and safety for construction workers and your construction project is improved.
24/7 construction site monitoring prevents unauthorised access and alerts you to unusual activities.
What does construction site monitoring cost?
The costs depend on the local conditions and the security level to be defined. In doing so, we always look for a cost-effective combination of utilising existing security elements, personnel deployment and the use of technology. We make your construction site safe – just ask us!

Technology-backed and audit-ready: physical security for critical infrastructure
CIBORIUS builds integrated security concepts for physical resilience under the KRITIS umbrella act, aligned with your business continuity management and in line with ISO 27001, DIN 77200 and BBK requirements. We combine current technology, from AI-assisted video analysis to autonomous systems, with qualified security staff and audit-ready documentation.
Perimeter protection
Layered protection of the site boundary, mechanical and digital:
- Mechanical barriers: fences, gates, barriers and walls, the first physical layer
- Mobile video towers: flexible video surveillance to reinforce a site temporarily during construction, modernisation or a raised threat level. WatchDOME® camera towers provide self-sufficient 4K surveillance with a detection range of up to 200 metres
- Digital fence: AI-assisted video analysis with virtual alarm lines, detecting intruders as they cross defined perimeter zones, before they ever touch the facility
- Sensorik: motion detectors, vibration sensors and infrared barriers for early detection
- Lighting concepts: deterrence and better camera illumination in critical areas
Combining mobile video towers with fixed systems allows the setup to follow a changing threat picture. Permanent camera installations provide the baseline, while mobile towers can reinforce critical areas at short notice or close gaps during building work.
