The Hessian IT Security Act creates a legal basis for the Hessen CyberCompetenceCenter (Hessen3C), founded in 2019, which is required to effectively protect the information technology of the administration against cyber attacks. At the same time, the law with the obligations that also apply to universities (especially § 8-11) represents a legal basis for the central information security measures at the TU Darmstadt.

The Guideline for Information Security at the TU Darmstadt was adopted on October 15, 2020. It forms a binding basis for all organizational units for the IT Security process at the TU Darmstadt and the organizational structure required for it.

The Guideline for Information Security of the TU Darmstadt defines tasks and responsibilities in order to achieve confidentiality as well as integrity and availability of data and IT Systems – taking into account data protection law and other legal requirements.

The guideline is a first milestone in a continuous IT Security process for the TU Darmstadt. Further concrete steps and measures will follow.
