ICE says revised detention rules 'reduce the burden' on contractors

Contractors running Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities can rely more heavily on artificial intelligence tools to communicate with detainees and continue refusing to pay wages for detainees’ “voluntary work." ICE released revised detention standards on Monday governing the for-profit contractors and jails that hold its detainees. The agency says they were revised to “reduce the burden on our detention operators.” Experts said the changes would help contractors limit legal liability, reduce costs and get more operational flexibility while doing little, if anything, to improve conditions for roughly 60,000 people currently detained. The revisions come as ICE detention facilities are reporting deaths in unprecedented numbers.

Kann mir jemand (ggf. @HonkHase?) erklaeren, was es mit #8a #BSIG und der besonderen #Prüfverfahrenskompetenz auf sich hat?

Es gibt dafür wunderbare Kurse und Prüfungen, es gibt einen Nachweise der Kompetenz, das BSI schreibt dazu: "Bei dieser Fortbildung handelt es sich um keine Zulassung, Anerkennung oder Zertifizierung eines Prüfers, sondern um eine empfohlene Zusatzqualifikation." (https://www.bsi.bund.de/DE/Themen/Regulierte-Wirtschaft/Kritische-Infrastrukturen/Infos-fuer-Pruefer/Pruefverfahrenskompetenz/pruefverfahrenskompetenz_node.html)

Bringt es mir irgendwelche Vorteile, so einen Wisch zu haben? GIbt es für Prüfungen in diesem Umfeld noch weitere Anforderungen, beispielsweise branchenspezifische Kenntnisse? Und wie ist diese Prüfung mit beispielsweise einem Audit nach z.B. 27001 zu vergleichen?
