IT and Information Security Consulting
Because your most valuable company data is only as secure as the weakest link in your security chain.
Companies are facing an increasing threat to their IT systems. Attackers are using innovative methods, often supported by artificial intelligence (AI), to access sensitive company data. This makes the protection of this information more urgent and important than ever.
Challenges of IT and Information Security
In practice, there are several challenges that affect the digitally-driven world of work:
Fast-paced environment
A combination of changing security requirements and tight deadlines makes it clear that a rapid adaptation to current standards is necessary.
Legal requirements
Additional complexity arises from legal requirements such as the NIS Directive, the Cyber Resilience Act and the AI Act. Failure to comply can result in substantial fines and reputational damage.
Order acquisition
Mandatory safety certifications are often a prerequisite for securing contracts. Companies unable to provide this certification are at a clear disadvantage compared to their competitors.
Protection
Data loss and cyber-attacks can result in substantial financial and reputational damage.
The introduction of an information security management system (ISMS) and the structured assessment of your IT risks will enable you to define the necessary measures and improve information security within your company in the long term. Certification according to ISO/IEC 27001 or a TISAX® label can serve as proof of compliance with the relevant requirements. The systematic management and adequate protection of information are crucial for a company’s survival.
Together, we can increase your security, minimise your risks, and make sure you stay competitive.
Our individual consulting services
We provide expert guidance on implementing information security management systems that align with ISO/IEC 27001 and TISAX® standards, as well as on developing customised IT security solutions.
Effective IT risk management is the foundation of every successful information security strategy. We support you in systematically identifying, assessing and treating IT risks within your company so that your risk manager can confidently and independently continue the task. We can also assess your existing risk management and the measures derived from it, integrating missing aspects to improve your long-term security and compliance.
We guide you through the process of setting up and implementing a structured information security management system (ISMS). We will advise you on creating the necessary documentation and guidelines, and on integrating the ISMS into your existing business processes. By the end, you will have a thorough understanding of the TISAX® requirements according to VDA ISA and ISO/IEC 27001. Our goal is to work alongside you to establish a practical system that supports your business processes, rather than hindering them.
In addition to advising you on setting up and implementing an ISMS, we also provide conceptual guidance on the technical implementation of potential solutions. With our support, you can bridge the gap between theoretical security concepts and effective technical implementation, meeting both your requirements and the relevant standards.
We offer internal audits in which your ISMS is reviewed by an independent body according to the relevant standards. As a result, you will receive a comprehensive audit report, which includes detailed documentation of any discrepancies and specific recommendations for improvement. This thorough preparation reduces the likelihood of any surprises during the official certification audit, saving you time and resources.
We are a TISAX®-audited and ISO/IEC 27001-certified company. With our experience, we can optimally prepare you for your TISAX® and ISO/IEC 27001 audits and certifications. We can assist with every step of the process, from conducting a gap analysis and preparing the necessary evidence to providing support during the audit. We are familiar with the auditors’ requirements and can help you meet them efficiently. Our TÜV-certified lead auditors will ensure you are fully prepared for your audit.
