20 Minimum Technical Requirements with a Strict Deadline

Let CapaSystems help you to the finish line with 8 of them

The Centre for Cyber Security, the Danish Agency for Digital Government, and the Danish Data Protection Authority have jointly set a razor-sharp deadline.

ALL state authorities must comply with 20 minimum IT security requirements by 1 January 2023.

The objective is clear: To secure a standard high level of security across the State.

And the requirements are mandatory.

The 20 minimum technical requirements for IT security for state authorities were issued right before the summer holidays — which now leaves four months to ensure everything is in place.

“Our solutions are simple, intuitive, and do not require much after-sales consulting. I have gone over the list — and the way I see things, we can lend a hand with 8 of the requirements. And help make sure that these important check marks are ticked off in good time,” says the Chief Product Officer of CapaSystems, Martin Søndergaard.

1. Firewalls must be implemented on all clients
2. Client hard drives need to be encrypted
3. The security of client OSs and client applications must be kept up to date
4. Regular user accounts must not be assigned administrative rights to clients
5. Clients must run the newest operating system
6. MDM (Mobile Device Management) must be implemented on all mobile devices
7. The security of the operating system and apps of mobile devices must be kept up to date
8. The security of the authority’s Internet-facing services must be kept up to date
