Fehlentscheidungen bei Scope/Vendor-Auswahl durch unklare Compliance-Anforderungen
Definition
BFSG applies to specific product categories (computers, ATMs, ticketing machines, routers, game consoles) and services (banking, telecom, passenger transport, e-books, e-commerce). Exemptions exist (pre-2025 media, legacy systems with transition period). Companies without expert legal assessment misidentify compliance scope, select vendors targeting wrong products, or invest in tools addressing non-applicable standards.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Average vendor selection error cost: €10,000-€100,000 in wasted software/consulting spend. Scope misidentification: €5,000-€50,000 in misallocated remediation budget. Rework/tool replacement: +€3,000-€20,000.
- Frequency: One-time (pre-June 28, 2025), but high probability: 60-70% of companies lack clear scope definition.
- Root Cause: BFSG regulatory complexity; poor internal legal assessment; vendor confusion over scope; inadequate documentation of affected products/services.
