The sector is changing with mergers and acquisitions. Key challenges are value chain positioning, partnering, integration of different technologies, price pressure and new revenues sources, data security, service availability and quality and finally, sustainability issues and corporate governance.
Customers increasingly expect more advanced functionality, seamless integration between services, availability on mobile devices, and on the net, and finally 27x7 service availability with high quality. This has lead to more sophisticate and critical services, more complex systems, more complex supply chains and a need for flexibility and agility. The risks are large and increasing and to stay in business for the long run risk management and operational effectiveness continuously has to be in focus.
Environment, ethics and social responsibility is high on the news agenda around the world – mistakes or failures to comply with what is seen as responsible corporate behavior will influence reputation, market share and stock price.
In the future IT service providers will be under increasing pressure to reduce use of energy and to operate green data centers.
Today, more than ever, food quality and safety are an even concern for customers and civic establishment alike. This focus has been resistant by recent health scares. For every company in the food supply chain, managing the risks in the fields of Quality, Health & Safety, Environment and Social Responsibility has become critical.
The Federal Office for the Security of Information Technology (BSI) has further developed the basic IT security manual into a BSI standard. Companies can now be certified as per ISO 27001 on the basis of basic IT security. We will be at your side throughout the entire process: We will analyze your system and your security needs and work out the necessary measures and an IT security policy. We perform basic security checks, effectiveness analyses and basic IT security audits.
This puts you on the safe side
The development of the BSI 100 standard takes into consideration that an appropriate IT security level depends on the IT security management system and on individual technical measures. That is why we first offer you a site assessment – for example via a quick security check or a basic IT security assessment. Then we work out a tailored package for you consisting of measures, training courses and auditing programmers. On behalf of the BSI, we train specialists and BSI auditors for ISO 27001 on the basis of basic IT protection.
Money-making at a glance
You will receive a systematic and state-of-the-art, practice-oriented security management system, which always takes the price-to-performance ratio into consideration. You can be certain that your IT security process meets the requirements of the BSI and you will have a BSI-certified information security management system (ISMS) as per ISO 27001 on the basis of basic IT protection. This will show your customers and business partners that your institution values a holistic approach to information security.
