Does GUARD fulfil the monitoring duty under the KRITIS umbrella act?

GUARD delivers documented monitoring proof — regular guarding flights, alarm response and exportable event log. Legal classification is your compliance team's responsibility; we provide technical and operational documentation.

What does GUARD cost?

Fixed monthly contract per site — predictable costs, scaled to your needs. Hardware, operations, piloting, insurance and compliance in one rate. The site check is free.

Do we need our own LUC?

No. GDDC operates under its own LUC (since 09/2023) — you do not need your own permit.

How quickly can GUARD go live?

Site check (approx. 2 h) → pilot phase → GUARD contract. Within days to weeks depending on site and airspace.
