the BSI isn't an obscure agency, it fills it's function well - e.g. ISO 27001 vs IT-Grundschutz certification, or newsletter with sec. warnings



Can you explain in more detail what it does?


The BSI is in the German media fairly regularly with advice about private and commercial information security and has a good reputation.

Since it doubles as the German equivalent of the NSA, I don't think it is worried about justifying its existence.
