Cybersecurity & Compliance
Our methodical approach includes several steps to analyze and implement appropriate security measures and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and regulatory requirements.
Our approach:
A basic assessment of the IT system landscape together with the business model provides the first information about which security measures should be implemented or which are already be in place.
Together with experts from your company, we analyze existing systems / applications, networks and data. We review legal and regulatory requirements, industry standards and regulations.
The result:
Potential security risks as well as compliance requirements are identified and documented. Gaps are listed and described in a detailed report which is accompanied by graphics.
Our approach:
Based on the identified risks and requirements, we jointly develop comprehensive policies and procedures to enhance your cybersecurity and compliance.
The result:
Clear instructions on data security, access control, incident response and other relevant areas in the company. Depending on the level of detail, we create a risk and control system for all or selected areas based on standard market methods, tailored to your company.
Our approach:
We create concepts and support their implementation for the introduction or improvement of technical and organizational security measures. These include firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection systems (IDS), regular software updates and strong authentication procedures.
The result:
Design and documentation of the IT security concept and its implementation.
Training concept and implementation of awareness training for employees to create or increase cybersecurity awareness.
Our approach:
Implement mechanisms to continuously monitor networks and systems to detect suspicious activity. We use information and event management (SIEM) systems to identify and respond to potential threats.
The result:
Cybersecurity as a Service (CaaS) - We continuously monitor your systems and provide support in the event of an attack.
Our approach:
Based on our experience in the professional handling of incident management, we create concepts and checklists with you and your IT provider for a professional handling in case of an incident. Based on your industry and the legal requirements, we provide the right procedure for dealing with security incidents.
The result:
The threat can be isolated, we support the company and the IT provider in the recovery of the system and the communication with relevant parties.
Our approach:
Regular internal and external audits should ensure that all cybersecurity measures are effective and compliance is maintained.
We support the preparation of these audits, help building a solid evidence base and develop concepts how manual tasks can be automated. We are happy to assist you with the implementation of these internal and external requirements by ensuring that they are met.
The result:
Recommendation and / or adaptation of policies and procedures based on new threats or regulations.
Regular review and testing of compliance and evidence generation (reporting).
Training of employees in relevant areas (HR / IT / managers in general).
Continuous improvement
Cybersecurity and compliance are dynamic areas. Continuous improvements are based on experience from already occurred incidents, supported by technology improvements as well as a changes in regulations (regulatory requirements) which ensure a goal-oriented security concept for your company.
Strict adherence to this approach can build a robust cybersecurity infrastructure and ensure that compliance requirements are met.
