Based on internationally recognized information security standards, the recommendations of ISACA, ISC², ISF and the German Federal Office for Information Security, as well as current best practices, our security auditors conduct a Cyber Security Check at your premises. We thoroughly examine your processes and technology as well as the security awareness of your employees.
