Prepared?

What question are you wondering about?

01
Where do we need to take action?

First, we determine which requirements your company must meet and which risks are relevant to your business operations. By comparing these with existing measures and documentation, we can identify what is already adequately covered and where further action is needed.

In the case of a customer inquiry, for example, this means: What specific documentation is required, and by when must it be submitted? Once this is determined, it is possible to assess which existing documents and measures can already be used for this purpose and what additional steps are needed.

Our Services in This Area

• Free Initial Consultation – approx. 60 minutes. We’ll discuss your current situation and work together to determine the best next step.
• Information Security Quick Check
• If necessary, we will delve deeper into the issue, identify specific areas for action, and prioritize the next steps.

02
How can we meet security requirements without slowing down our day-to-day operations?

Recurring requirements can be handled through clear lines of responsibility and appropriate existing procedures. New regulations are added where there is a genuine need.

The key factors are the requirements and risks of your company as described above. Additional measures may be necessary, for example, if no one is responsible for a required task, if required documentation is missing, or if a relevant risk has not yet been adequately addressed.

It makes sense to first examine how these gaps can be closed within existing processes. To do this, it may be sufficient simply to clarify a responsibility or add to an existing step. Additional processes are required where existing workflows cannot be meaningfully expanded. This preserves functioning structures and limits the additional effort to only the necessary changes.

Our services in this area:

• Establishment of an Information Security Management System (ISMS)
• Implement security requirements with clear responsibilities, appropriate procedures, and actionable evidence within your existing organization.

03
Who handles information security when we lack the time or expertise in-house?

Even after the system is set up, information security remains an ongoing task: requirements change, new systems are added, and agreed-upon measures must be implemented and reviewed. That is why clear accountability is needed to ensure these tasks are not neglected in day-to-day operations.

It makes sense to determine which tasks can be handled internally and where technical support is needed. An external consultant can coordinate day-to-day tasks, assess changes, and prepare necessary decisions. This ensures that information security is continuously managed without having to establish a dedicated specialist position.

Our services in this area:

Continuously oversee information security, monitor agreed-upon measures, and prepare technical groundwork for decisions.

04
Are we prepared for the next customer or certification audit?

A reliable assessment requires a professionally qualified and independent review. This involves evaluating whether the relevant requirements are met, whether appropriate documentation is available, and whether the established procedures actually function in day-to-day operations.

Auditors should be able to evaluate the activities under review impartially and without any conflicts of interest. This allows discrepancies and areas for improvement to be identified early on and addressed in a targeted manner before the upcoming client or certification audit.

Our services in this area:

• Internal Audit
• Have information security independently assessed by certified auditors to identify relevant nonconformities and opportunities for improvement at an early stage.
