Information Security Management

To ensure the information security of our company and to be ISO 27001 certified, we operate an Information Security Management System, in short ISMS. This system must be maintained by a group of people with defined leadership.

  • The ISMS is a set of procedures and guidelines within a company, which serves to define, control, monitor, maintain and continuously improve information security.

  • ISO 27001 is an international standard that describes how information security in a company can be ensured with an Information Security Management System ISMS.
