Why information security?

Information is the basis for our daily business and shapes our decisions. We live in a time in which a constantly increasing number of companies, institutions and authorities go about their business online. At the same time, however, the number of threats to corporate networks and data is also increasing sharply.
A data leak can have serious consequences for a company or public authority, both financially and in terms of reputational damage.

The following is a brief overview of the service areas that can help secure your company:

We would enjoy accompanying and supporting you in sustainably increasing your information security level of protection.

ISO/IEC 27001

We are the experts for international norms and standards and can help you implement the requirements of the ISO/IEC 27001. Our team of experts consists of experienced lead auditors and security consultants. We will accompany you during the entirety of the certification process, and advise you about any questions that may arise at any time afterwards.

BSI IT-Grundschutz

Our certified BSI auditors and security consultants have the necessary expertise to increase your security resilience.

We will help you implement the BSI IT-Grundschutz requirements in an efficient and pragmatic manner. If aspired, we will help you obtain an ISO 27001 certification based on the BSI IT-Grundschutz.

 

VDA ISA

Suppliers and service providers in the automotive industry must prove to car manufacturers that they have an appropriate level of information security in accordance with the Information Security Assessment (ISA) catalog of requirements if they process sensitive information.

To this end, the ENX Association and the VDA (German Association of the Automotive Industry) have jointly developed the “Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange” (TISAX®) verification procedure. An assessment can be used to verify the company’s level of maturity with regard to the requirements defined in the VDA ISA at a specific location. The company can receive a so-called ‘label’ for the assessed location if it fulfills the relevant requirements of the VDA ISA.

Do you want to meet the strict requirements of the VDA ISA and obtain these labels? Then you’ve come to the right place!

We will help you reach the target maturity level and successfully pass the exam!

KRITIS/IT-Sicherheitsgesetz

The IT Security Act (IT-SiG) requires operators of critical infrastructures (KRITIS) to maintain a minimum level of IT security. We will work alongside you to implement and introduce industry-specific security standards so that you meet your legal obligations.

DFARS NIST SP 800-171

DFARS (Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement) and NIST SP 800-171 (National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-171) are two separate but related cybersecurity frameworks that apply to work in the U.S. defense sector.

The two frameworks are closely related, as DFARS mandates and monitors compliance with NIST SP 800-171 for domestic and foreign companies that enter into or perform contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Organizations must therefore implement the security controls and measures of NIST SP 800-171 to meet the requirements of DFARS and demonstrate their ability to securely process and store sensitive information under CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information). CUI is certain types of sensitive information that must be controlled and protected by the government but is not classified.

We at DS DATA SYSTEMS are experts in international norms and standards and will work with you to implement the requirements of NIST SP 800-171. We will also accompany you on the entire path to compliance and will be on hand to advise you at any time afterwards.

DEFCON DEF STAN Cyber Essentials+

DEFCON 658 and DEF STAN 05-138 are British standards for the security of defense information and facilities. While DEFCON 658 deals with the classification and marking of information, DEF STAN 05-138 regulates a variety of requirements, including certification to Cyber Essentials+. Certification to this standard is sometimes essential for companies that enter into contracts with the UK Ministry of Defense.

Cyber Essentials+ offers a comprehensive approach to cyber security that is not limited to the defense sector and can be applied by companies in all industries. However, Cyber Essentials+ certification alone is not usually sufficient to operate in the UK defense sector. Nevertheless, it can serve as part of a broader security program to improve the overall security of the organization.

We support you throughout the entire certification process and are also available to advise you after this step has been completed.

NIS 2.0

As the digitalization and networking of companies progresses, the requirements for information security are also increasing. NIS 2.0 (Network and Information Security Directive) is an important legal directive of the European Union that aims to strengthen the resilience of critical infrastructures and ensure the security of network and information systems.

Our team of experienced specialists offers you comprehensive advice and support in order to implement the requirements of the NIS2UmsuCG (NIS2 Implementation Act) effectively and efficiently in your company.

With our in-house, standardized test method we analyze we assess your existing security measures and evaluate them for NIS 2.0 compliance. In this way, we ensure that your company complies with current legal requirements and is protected in the best possible way at the same time.

CISO/ Information Security Officer

We also offer our services as external CISOs. They are the link between management, IT and users. Information security officers/ CISOs are responsible for ensuring that the information of an organization is adequately protected at all times, thereby not only achieving but also maintaining the desired matureness of information security. The implementation of an Information Security Management System (ISMS) plays a crucial role.

Regardless of what angle was used to establish (or plan to establish) your ISMS, our security consultants have the necessary, specialist qualifications to perform the role of the external information security officer in your company.

In addition, we can offer coaching for this role in your company to build the necessary know-how.

 

CMMC

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) was developed to enhance cybersecurity in the defense industry and protect sensitive, unclassified information. The certification sets new standards for the protection of sensitive information, ensuring that the U.S. Department of Defense supply chain implements robust and secure measures.

What can you achieve with CMMC?

  • Increased security through protection against threats and data loss
  • Increase your trustworthiness towards customers and business partners
  • Meeting the high safety requirements for defense contracts

How is your company currently positioned? Find out together with us and let us prepare you and your company for the CMMC security requirements.

Cyber risk check according to DIN/SPEC 27076

A CyberRiskCheck is not a certification, but a standardized IT security procedure of the BSI, which is based on DIN SPEC 27076 and may only be carried out by trained IT service providers or certified consultants. It offers a detailed assessment of the maturity level of your IT security and helps you to identify weaknesses and implement targeted improvements.

At DS DATA SYSTEMS, we offer this service to help SMEs analyze and improve their IT security status cost-effectively.

This allows you to react to possible failures in good time and minimize economic risks and reputational damage.

Security Awareness

Employees are an important link in a company’s security chain.
Individual measures, such as one-off training or the display of an information brochure, often have no lasting effect. Only a continuous and comprehensive approach, which relies on repetition and consolidation in different areas, creates a security culture in which awareness is lived. Every employee bears responsibility – and only by working together can information security be raised to a new level.

Our training and awareness-raising measures at a glance:

  • Training courses: Regular training on current threats and safe behavior in the digital space.
  • Campaigns: Digital and analog reminders through posters, everyday objects in the form of meaningful giveaways and promotional items, emails or videos that draw attention to risks.
  • Phishing tests: Simulated attacks to check and specifically improve vigilance.
  • Clear guidelines: Simple and understandable guidelines for password use, data sharing and device protection.
  • Central information source: Digital information source available at any time in the form of a wiki.

With our holistic security awareness solution, you can strengthen your company’s digital resilience and protect sensitive data from cyberattacks. Focus on prevention – for more security in your day-to-day work.
