چکیده

As part of the research project"Secure information networks of small- and medium-sized energy providers"(SIDATE), a survey about the IT security status of German energy providers was conducted. The project itself is focused on the IT security of small- and medium-sized energy providers. In August 2016, 881 companies listed by the Federal Network Agency were approached. Between, September 1 st 2016 and October 15 th 2016, 61 (6.9%) of the companies replied. The questionnaire focuses on the implementation of the regulatory requirements and on the implementation of an information security management system (ISMS). Additionally, questions about the energy control system, the network structure, processes, organisational structures, and the IT department were asked. Questions were asked in German, so all questions and answers are translated for this report. ----- Innerhalb des Forschungsprojektes"Sichere Informationsnetze bei kleinen und mittleren Energieversorgern"(SIDATE) wurde eine Umfrage zum Stand der IT-Sicherheit bei deutschen Stromnetzbetreibern durchgef\"uhrt.
