Information Security Check

Our external Information Security Check is designed for businesses, government agencies, municipalities, and church institutions alike. This assessment goes beyond a standard IT security check: in a dedicated workshop, we collaborate to review and evaluate your current policies, implemented processes, and overall measures for safeguarding information security. Rather than conducting an in-depth audit, our focus is on creating a clear overview and assessment of your current security posture. We summarize the results for you and provide actionable recommendations for improvement, prioritizing them to ensure a strategic approach to enhancing your information security.

Why an External Information Security Check is Essential

An Information Security Check goes beyond basic risk assessment, addressing the specific needs and regulatory requirements of your organization. With this check, you’ll gain a concise, customized overview of your current security status, including insights on whether your information security measures are up-to-date and identifying any areas where adjustments or optimizations may be necessary.

What Does the Information Security Check Include?

The Information Security Check provides a thorough analysis across the following key areas:

• Building Security: We assess security measures for your physical premises as they relate to information security, including protections against fire, break-ins, and vandalism for data centers and critical infrastructure.
   
• Network Security: Our analysis of network security covers your company’s internet connections, firewall, and VPN configurations, as well as the security of individual network components such as routers.
   
• Server and Client Security: We evaluate the security of your servers and client systems, including antivirus protections, software updates, backup routines, and disaster recovery planning.
   
• Application Security: Critical applications that are essential for maintaining core business operations are reviewed to ensure they are securely managed and operate reliably.
   
• Third-Party Service Providers: We examine your partnerships with external service providers, such as those handling remote maintenance or server hosting, to assess the security and integrity of these collaborations.

Organization and Employee Involvement: A comprehensive Information Security Check also includes a review of your organizational approach to information security and employee engagement, such as adherence to internal security policies and training initiatives.

By addressing each of these areas, the Information Security Check provides you with a practical, prioritized roadmap to strengthen your organization’s overall security posture.

How the Information Security Check Process Works

To start, we work with you to define the scope and depth of the Information Security Check based on your organization’s specific needs. Once you’ve engaged our services, we schedule one or more workshop sessions, either in person or via video conference, and provide you with a list of any relevant documentation that could support our review, if available. During the workshops, we discuss the structure and operation of your IT systems, as well as key aspects of your organizational setup, ensuring a comprehensive assessment tailored to your unique context.
