ßnahmenkatalog

Maßennahmenkatalog? The term, usually written Maßnahm enkatalog in German, refers to a structured compilation of measures intended to mitigate risks, ensure regulatory compliance, or achieve specific objectives within an organization or public authority. It functions as a repository of actions that can be selected, prioritized, and implemented to address identified needs.

A measures catalog typically serves several purposes: it supports decision making by providing a catalogued list of possible actions; it facilitates planning and budgeting by associating each measure with resources and timelines; and it enhances accountability and transparency through clear documentation of responsibilities and expected effects. Measures are commonly organized by categories such as prevention, detection, response, and recovery, and are linked to goals, risk levels, prerequisites, costs, and success indicators.

Contents and structure of a Maß nahmenkatalog usually include for each measure: title and description, objective, category, required resources, responsible unit, implementation status and date, dependencies, estimated impact, cost, and measurable indicators. The catalog is typically maintained through a formal process of risk assessment, prioritization, approval, and periodic review to reflect changing conditions and new information. Version control and traceability are important for audits and compliance.

Applications span public administration, corporate governance, data protection, safety, and disaster or crisis management. A related concept is the Maßnahmenplan (action plan), which specifies concrete time-bound steps drawn from the catalog. The catalog supports standardization, repeatability, and efficient resource use while facing challenges such as keeping content up to date and ensuring measures remain contextually appropriate.
