Raising awareness of the importance of information security among key decision-makers

Networking and digitalisation have changed the risk landscape of companies more sustainably and faster than our human risk awareness has been able to adapt. As a result, companies spend a significant amount of time and effort to manage elementary and classic corporate risks for their business operations, while risks that threaten the very existence of some companies in the context of IT remain unrecognised, unassessed and untreated. Information security is undoubtedly a cost centre that consumes funds and resources to implement and maintain preventive and reactive measures "just in case". Often, awareness of the need to deal with information security in a structured manner only rises after devastating incidents. The awareness seminar for management, IT managers, decision-makers and other stakeholders creates a basic understanding of information security, related goals and possible strategies. In addition, it shows the corporate significance (ROSI) and the benefits of a regulated approach to information security in the form of an information security management system.

Quick check and maturity analysis

With the help of a quick check, we quickly and effectively determine your location with regard to either defined information security goals, any standards (such as cyber risk check according to DIN SPEC 27076, ISO27001, TISAX, BSI IT baseline protection, regulation of critical infrastructure) or internal guidelines. The results show the delta to the desired target, outline a clear picture of the situation and provide a helpful decision-making basis for further action. Customers who have opted for a quick check can better evaluate their - individual - requirements, e.g. the information security of their organization, rethink correlations and modes of action if necessary and initiate targeted steps to sustainably improve the information security level of the organization and the degree of compliance with the requirements. If you would like a comprehensive and systematic audit, in particular of a management system (e.g. ISMS in accordance with ISO 27001), then we offer the right service package for you. By auditing the relevant area, you will gain valuable and detailed insight and transparency regarding opportunities, potential, risks, (implementation) gaps and blind spots. These findings can be used to derive the need for action and specific measures. Norms and standards specifically require such internal audits.

Business Continuity Management (BCM)

Companies are currently confronted with ever-increasing challenges to the performance of their business processes. Not only the constantly and massively growing dangers of cyber attacks on IT infrastructures, as well as losses due to theft, industrial espionage or sabotage, present companies with special tasks. Increasingly occurring threats such as pandemics, natural disasters and resulting bottlenecks in supply chains can also affect companies to such an extent that business operations cannot be maintained properly and company processes are impaired or even fail completely. Already every fifth company was on the verge of insolvency after a cyber attack. Far too often, there is a lack of appropriate awareness, sensitisation and, as a result, the necessary preventive measures, especially with regard to organisational security. Support is provided by an established business continuity management, with the help of which critical business processes are identified, and requirements for maintaining these business processes are set and implemented. Through the formation of crisis teams, the creation of business continuity plans, contingency plans, emergency concepts and recovery plans, companies are put in a position to be prepared in the best possible way for critical events such as emergencies as well as disasters. We are happy to support you in setting up a business continuity management system in accordance with ISO 22301 or BSI Standard 200-4. Of course, we are also at your side if you need help setting up your BCM in the context of the scope of your ISMS according to ISO/IEC 27001.

You take measures to mitigate business-critical risks and measure their effectiveness and efficiency. By continuously monitoring your environment, you derive new threats and potential risks and improve your information security through targeted measures. Furthermore, strengthen your reputation with a certification. Demonstrate your sensitivity for the topic to your partners and achieve further competitive advantages.

Basic check for municipalities

The challenge for municipalities in the area of information security is complex and great. They need standardized procedures for information security that are adapted to the individual security level of each municipality and that can be implemented with limited budgets and personnel. Our basic check for local authorities examines all the requirements and test questions of the BSI's basic local authority safeguarding and thus provides you with an initial overview of the current status of your information security, the identification of serious weaknesses in your infrastructure and the implementation of security measures through an implementation plan provided by Controlware.

Quick-Check – NIS2-Readiness

After the question “Am I affected by the NIS2 Implementation Act?”, further questions immediately arise: “What does the NIS2 Implementation Act require of me?” and “Where do I stand with regard to the NIS2 requirements?”. With our “Quick Check for NIS2 Readiness”, we help you to quickly and purposefully determine your company's current position with regard to the requirements of the NIS2 Implementation Act. In addition, we support you in determining and assessing the need for action and possible solutions to meet the requirements.

Quick-Check - ISO/IEC 27001

If you want to align your information security management with the internationally recognized ISO 27001 standard and, if necessary, have it certified according to this standard, numerous questions immediately arise. These include, for example: “Where is my personal starting point to get off to the best possible start?” or “Which areas should be prioritized?”. With our “Quick Check for Information Security according to ISO 27001”, we support you in quickly and purposefully determining the current status of information security in your company with regard to the requirements of this standard, as well as identifying and assessing the need for action to meet the requirements.

Cyber Security Check according to BSI

Threats due to digitalization and networking are increasing all the time. The perpetrators' actions are usually unpredictable. However, the damage they cause can be serious. Loss of information, recovery costs, loss of trust, the impairment or even the failure of business processes are just a few examples. For this reason, a cyber security check is essential. With the help of an action guide and checklist, you will be shown the current strengths and weaknesses in your company's cyber security. This will increase your awareness of cyber attacks. Furthermore, the check provides you with a valid basis for decision-making for further measures, for example vis-à-vis the management.

Organizations that are proactive in this area are not only better protected, but also gain a competitive advantage through increased resilience and trustworthiness. We support you in determining the maturity level and help you answer questions regarding your organization's current business continuity capabilities. We show you optimization potentials and support you in meeting the relevant requirements.

Our consulting services provide you with an assessment of the degree of implementation of the processes and measures you have already put in place. We evaluate their effectiveness and degree of fulfillment in comparison to the agreed standard and requirements. We also provide information on significant information security risks.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)

Networking, digitalisation and developments within society have rapidly and permanently changed the risk landscape of companies. IT dependency, but also regulatory requirements, have increased massively across all company sizes and industries. Controlware helps to overcome challenges in the context of information security strategy, business continuity, risk management and compliance requirements, thus creating the basis for secure, stable and efficient IT.

Pragmatic . Feasible . Effective

Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) forms the framework within which companies follow their internal guidelines, manage risks and comply with legal and industry-specific requirements. Companies must first create a framework and associated structures to identify and effectively manage information security risks. To do this, it is important to understand the business context and identify relevant requirements such as contractual or regulatory requirements. In business relationships, increasing importance is being placed on the information security of partners. Business partners expect information security to be taken seriously and proven in order to minimize their own risks. Standards such as ISO 27001 for information security management or BSI 200-4 for business continuity as well as industry-specific certificates such as TISAX® or B3S provide a solid basis for this.

If a company can answer the following questions, it shows that it lives and develops information security sustainably and considers and weighs decisions holistically:

What is the information policy and does it take into account the context of the organisation and the interests and requirements of all relevant stakeholders?
What information security risks is the company exposed to, what measures have been taken against them and are they effective?
Which processes and resources are critical to the organisation and what measures have been taken to make them resilient? Is there a plan in place if an emergency does occur?

As an IT service provider and consulting company, Controlware provides customers with pragmatic and practical support for all GRC-related issues. Starting at the strategic level with addressing goals and requirements in the area of information security policy & strategy to the introduction of a management system for information security or business continuity. In addition, our consultants support you in operational issues such as auditing, risk management and any other aspect you may require.

The basis of the cooperation to ensure the success of a project and the satisfaction of both sides is personal contact, thorough analysis of the requirements and challenges, as well as custom-fit, practical and pragmatic process models that are geared to the needs and maturity level of our customers and create sustainable results.

We offer customised consulting services in the following areas:
