Solution
We decided to improve the areas of information security and data protection in our company and implement a comprehensive information security strategy. We decided to enlist the support of the experienced consultants at BREDEX GmbH, an experienced team of experts who continue to support us in the implementation of our strategy.
The team helped us with various aspects of information security, including security checkups, DSGVO compliance management, awareness training, hiring an external ISB and auditing relevant processes, documents and systems.
A security checkup was first performed to identify potential vulnerabilities in our IT infrastructure and systems. After the checkup, we received detailed reports with recommendations for action that enabled us to fix the vulnerabilities and improve our IT infrastructure.
BREDEX helped and continues to help us implement the GDPR requirements. This included the review of our data processing, the implementation of new policies and procedures, and the necessary adaptation of documentation. The awareness training sessions that the team conducted were very helpful in informing our employees about the importance of data protection and information security, as well as educating them about the risks of cyberattacks.
Furthermore, the team provided us with an external ISB to support us in implementing our information security strategy. In addition, our internal ISB was trained to support the implementation of the strategy.
We highly recommend the team of experts. Thanks to their support, we have significantly improved our information security and now feel better prepared for the constantly changing threat situation.
