Next-Gen Security & Compliance: Prevent, Don’t Just React

Mitigate Risks, Strengthen Reputation.

Protecting Value Means Creating Value: How to Minimise Risks and Maximise Your Reputation.

Digitalization permeates all areas of business and creates new business models. At the same time, cyber threats are increasing exponentially. Ransomware attacks and other forms of cybercrime target all levels of an organization – from business processes and IT systems to physical assets and supply chains. The manufacturing industry in particular, with its high demands on availability and data exchange, is an attractive target.

Recent attacks show that no sector is immune, and production downtime can cause millions of dollars in damage, requiring a well thought-out security strategy and compliance with standards such as TISAX, ISO/IEC 27001 and IEC 62443.

The challenges of industrial cyber security go far beyond conventional IT concepts. Effective solutions must take a comprehensive view of the entire company-internal value creation process and protect each potential gateway for attacks individually. Cost-efficient strategies and targeted training strengthen autonomy and process security, while continuous monitoring reduces risks.

Access to experts and leading technology partners is crucial in order to increase the digital security status and make production processes more secure and efficient.

Your Partner for Compliance and Technological Advantage

Whether TISAX, ISO standards or legal requirements such as NIS2: The requirements for industrial cybersecurity are diverse, vary greatly from region to region and are becoming increasingly important. Compliance can strengthen your competitive advantage today and be a prerequisite for market participation tomorrow. As regulatory advisors to leading industry bodies, we are often aware of new guidelines before they are introduced and share this knowledge with you.  

This enables you not only to meet current standards, but also to proactively address future trends such as AI-assisted security measures.
