Service providers are legally obliged to provide authorities with access to certain communication data – from inventory data to traffic data to telecommunications surveillance (lawful interception). The technical and organizational implementation of these requirements is complex and permanently associated with considerable effort.

With our managed service for TKG compliance , we take over these tasks completely for our customers. For more than 25 years , we have been supporting network operators, Internet providers and providers of electronic communications services (traditional telecommunications providers, satellite communications providers, e-mail platform operators and automotive) in the legally compliant implementation of legal requirements.

TKG Compliance as a Continuous Process

The legal obligations under the Telecommunications Act (TKG) affect numerous operational processes within a service provider.

These include, in particular:

Provision of inventory data

Information on traffic data

Implementation of telecommunications surveillance measures (lawful interception)

Implementation of the automated information procedure

Inquiries from authorities must be legally examined, technically implemented, documented and answered in a timely manner. At the same time, technical systems must be permanently operated, monitored and regularly adapted to new legal requirements. TKG compliance is therefore not a one-time technical implementation, but a permanent operational process.

Our approach: Managed service for TKG compliance

We not only support service providers in the technical implementation of the legal requirements – we take care of the entire operational process. As a managed service provider, we act as a central point of contact for our customers for authorities and are responsible for processing inquiries.

Our service includes, among other things:

  • Receipt of official inquiries via ETSI-ESB or e-mail ESB
  • Formal review of court decisions
  • Queries and coordination with authorities
  • technical implementation of the ordered measures
  • Audit-proof documentation and auditing

Processing by security-cleared personnel and, if required, in 24/7 operation. As a result, our customers do not have to set up their own organizational structures for processing inquiries from authorities.

Connection to customer systems

For the manual information procedure (MAV) in the area of inventory data and traffic data, our systems are integrated directly into our customers’ infrastructure via API interfaces.

Different systems can be connected, for example:

  • CRM systems
  • Customer databases
  • Traffic data systems
  • Network Systems

The required information is automatically determined from the respective systems. Our employees don’t have to manually search for data in our customers’ systems. This process reduces operational effort while improving data protection and process traceability by keeping access to customer systems to a minimum.

Highly secure infrastructure

Our technical infrastructure is operated in an ISO-certified high-security data center. There, we operate our TKG Compliance Platform in a multi-client architecture. This shared service approach enables service providers to implement legal requirements with little effort for their own infrastructure. Our systems and processes are regularly audited by the responsible supervisory authorities – in particular the Federal Network Agency.

24/7 operation and monitoring

Government enquiries can be received at any time and must be processed in due time. Our operation is therefore carried out 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from two geo-redundant locations.

In addition to processing government requests, we also monitor the relevant infrastructure, including:

  • Network elements in the field of telecommunications surveillance
  • Interfaces for inventory data and traffic data queries
  • VPN connections to customers and authorities (SINA network)
  • Technical integrations of the information systems

Service Offerings

Our managed service covers all relevant legal requirements that are mandatory for service providers in the context of legal requests from authorities.

TKG compliance without operational burden

With our managed service for TKG compliance , we take over the operational implementation of the legal requirements completely for our customers.

Our customers benefit from:

  • Over 25 years of experience in the field of TKG compliance
  • 24/7 operation
  • security-cleared personnel
  • highly secure infrastructure
  • proprietary technology platform with ETSI-ESB and e-mail ESB
  • Automated integration into customer systems
  • Optional support for JVEG billing

This allows service providers to focus on their core business, while we ensure that their legal obligations are reliably met.
