Source: Bundesregierung / BKA, Bundeslagebild Cybercrime 2025

Scope: Germany local-market cybercrime reporting context from the Bundesregierung summary of BKA Bundeslagebild Cybercrime 2025. Registered and reported figures do not capture all hidden or unreported incidents and must not be presented as German business incident prevalence, industry-specific evidence, compliance achievement, certification or security outcome proof.

Methodology: Official Bundesregierung summary of BKA Bundeslagebild Cybercrime 2025. Figures are Germany local-market cybercrime reporting context. They describe registered or reported cybercrime/threat signals and do not measure all incidents, hidden incidents, all German business incident prevalence, or industry-specific incidence. Bundesregierung explicitly notes a significant dark field, meaning actual threat levels may be higher than registered figures.

The 15 percent figure concerns successful cyberattacks requiring active response. Attack-method percentages refer only to affected companies. Statistics are not represented as BSI official statistics.

Methodology: Representative Ipsos survey commissioned by TÜV-Verband among 506 companies in Germany with 10 or more employees.

The 15 percent incident value describes successful cyberattacks requiring active company response. Attack-method percentages refer only to affected companies and must not be displayed as shares of all German companies. The study was publicly presented with BSI participation, but the published statistics are attributed to TÜV-Verband / Ipsos rather than represented as BSI official statistics.

What structured security support changes

The Security File turns risk signals into decisions.

Official market data shows where risk exists. The BilgeQor Security File connects that context to your real websites, apps, accounts, payment flows and team responsibilities, so leaders can decide what to fix first.

Why this matters

The file gives your team one place to understand what was reviewed, what matters, what changed, and what still needs a decision.

BilgeQor Method

What the Security File contains

A Security File is not a generic report. It is a structured decision record for the assets, workflows and risks covered by the agreed scope.

01

Market and sector context

We connect official market signals and industry exposure to the business surfaces in scope.

02

Exposure map

We map websites, apps, accounts, payment journeys, admin roles, vendors and customer-facing workflows.

03

Priority register

We separate urgent risks, important improvements and lower-priority findings so the next action is clear.

04

Executive summary

We provide a concise summary that leadership, operations, vendors or insurers can read without needing raw technical detail.

05

Remediation roadmap

We turn findings into a 14 / 30 / 90-day action path with ownership, evidence notes and follow-through guidance.

What it is not

  • Not a guarantee of perfect security.
  • Not a certification or compliance verdict.
  • Not a per-company loss estimate or fear-based claim.
