Establishing Information Security in your Business
To us, information security means ensuring that all systems used to process and store data are aligned with the core security objectives: confidentiality, availability, and integrity. This commitment extends not only to technical systems but also includes non-technical processes and controls.
Leverage our expertise as external IT and information security officers, specializing in the ISO/IEC 27000 standards, IT baseline protection, and various industry-specific requirements. We guide you through the design and implementation of information security management systems (ISMS) according to recognized standards and best practices. In addition, our experience in Business Continuity Management (BCM) means we can help you enhance your existing system or create a tailored BCMS that fits your needs.
Our services also include penetration testing for networks and applications, along with comprehensive support in technical and organizational data protection—all backed by over 20 years of market experience.
