The threat landscape—and thus the challenges facing information security and data protection—continues to grow. A manageable, effective, and streamlined set of tools is therefore essential for every organization.

ISO 27001, as the international standard for information security, provides the framework for the management system. Through directly applicable lean best practices, you can more easily derive manageable regulatory requirements that are both ISO 27001-compliant and cover the modernized IT-Grundschutz. Of particular importance are integration with data protection (EU GDPR) as well as the applicability to other requirements and implementation recommendations, such as TISAX or FAIT.
