Solution Areas
ISMS and GRC Management

Overview

The solutions from ibi systems GmbH are based on the services and products around the “ibi systems iris Diamond”. The four sides stand for specific solution areas with regard to “Security-Management”, “Governance-Management”, “Risk-Management” and “Compliance-Management”. The solution area “Sustainability-Management” can be seen as comprehensive.

This includes both individual aspects such as audits of outsourced units or information security risk management according to ISO 27001 or ISO 27005, as well as overarching topics such as the integration of IT risks in central corporate risk management.

The activities required from various requirements (BaFin audit, Kritis audit, data protection review, provider and customer audits etc.) can optionally be standardized and summarized. This not only enables significant labor savings, but also results in a significant improvement in follow-up activities (findings, risk assessments and measures, etc.) and in comprehensive reporting.

“The added value of the solutions, services and products of ibi systems is based on interdisciplinary know-how and the consequently optional cross-sectional and expandable application options via ISMS and GRC. ”
