Due to the large number of voluntarily registered users, the BSI can only distribute such information by e-mail or fax. Postal services are only seldom used. The form for voluntary registration will be found in the annex. To create transparency as to which sectors employ IT baseline protection, the BSI publishes the names of those registered institutions which agree to have their names published. The BSI regularly queries the registered users on this matter.
