Information Security, Cybersecurity, and AI under control

Q: What is the difference between information security and cybersecurity?

Information security establishes the organizational framework: responsibilities, policies, risk analysis, and evidence. Cybersecurity protects the systems themselves from specific attacks, for example through hardening, intrusion detection, and penetration testing. The two are intertwined; an ISMS without technical implementation remains merely on paper, while technical measures without governance remain piecemeal.

Q: Which standard or regulation applies to our company?

That depends on your industry, company size, and customer requirements. ISO 27001 is the cross-industry standard. TISAX® is required by the automotive industry. NIS-2 and KRITIS stem from the BSIG and apply to specific sectors above defined thresholds. We’ll clarify which combination applies to your company during our initial consultation.

Q: Do you also advise companies without an SAP environment?

Yes, we advise not only companies with an SAP environment but also organizations without a focus on SAP. Our services in the area of information security include, among other things, ISMS consulting, ISO 27001, TISAX®, NIS-2, KRITIS, audits, and training for companies across various industries.
