In-house Certificates

Many companies today are increasingly faced with the challenge of having to fulfi l regulatory requirements regarding their IT and information security as well as governance & compliance. The most eff ective way to demonstrably fulfil these requirements towards third parties is to certify various areas in IT and information security as well as governance & compliance. This results in multi-layered auditing processes, which usually lie in diff erent areas of responsibility of the company.

Information is the basis for the course of business, production processes and for communication with customers and partners. To provide appropriate protection for business information, effective processes, such as those that are mapped in an information security management system (ISMS), are required. The ultimate goal of the ISMS is to protect all information assets from loss of confidentiality, integrity, availability and authenticity. The construction of an ISMS therefore essentially includes processes for the analysis and assessment of risks resulting from IT operations as well as the selection and monitoring of appropriate security measures to treat these risks appropriately. The Federal Off ice for Information Security (BSI) has developed their own standards for the establishment of an ISMS in accordance with ISO 27001 based on IT-Grundschutz, illustrating the according procedures in detail.

If an ISMS is set up according to these specifications, the next possible step is certification. This certification is applied for to the BSI, which also acts as the certification body. Performing the certification audits requires the participation of at least one auditor who has been appointed by the BSI as an ISO 27001 audit team leader for audits on the basis of IT-Grundschutz. We have a number of experienced and BSI appointed auditors, who can carry out this certification.

Your benefits

Communication over the Internet, be it professionally or privately, is nowadays indispensable. Technically, this is primarily made possible by web browsers as a central interface between users and the Internet. Adversaries attempt to exploit vulnerabilities of the Web browser in order to intercept, manipulate or destroy data and information, which can have a lifethreatening impact on businesses. In order to provide users with an orientation guide to the increasingly important criteria of data protection, data security and protective mechanisms under the aspect of “information security”, we have developed the “TÜV TRUST IT Trusted Application” certification.

Modern information technology offers many new business models. The area of cloud computing is one of them. The use of appropriate cloud services allows companies a very flexible scalability with optimal performance and thus brings enormous cost-saving potentials with it. However, the opportunities of cloud computing also face a number of risks. Cloud service providers can only succeed in the market if they exclude the potential risks to their customers, such as inadequate service availability or privacy issues. So that cloud providers can prove this externally, we have developed the “TÜV TRUST IT Trusted Cloud Service” certification. With this standardised test method, the quality of cloud services can be objectively checked and certified on the basis of the according regulations and standards.

Secure soft ware is the foundation of secure IT operations and effective IT security management. In addition to meeting the functional requirements, soft ware today must ensure at least the three fundamental information security objectives of confidentiality, integrity and availability. This is not only true for software for which information security is explicitly defined as a requirement. Rather, the ever-increasing interconnectedness and digitisation of everyday life increases the risk that insignificant components of IT systems or IT infrastructures may be the target of attacks, thereby jeopardising the desired protection goal. However, software cannot be proficiently secured by merely implementing generic security measures such as encryption or role-based concepts, but security must be anchored as an integral part of the development process itself. To ensure that companies can prove the security of their soft ware development processes, we have developed the “TÜV TRUST IT Trusted Development” certification.

Your benefits

Demonstrate to your customers and business partners that security is an integral part of your software development process

In the context of information security, not only an effective information security management system (ISMS) and the use of secure soft ware play an important role, but also the hardware used must be subjected to a detailed security assessment. In particular, network components are increasingly targeted by adversaries. To ensure that companies can prove the secure design and configuration of their network components, we have developed the “TÜV TRUST IT Trusted Infrastructure” certification.

Meanwhile, for companies the focus no longer solely lies on extending services, but rather on improving their quality. In order to succeed in the market, companies have to stand out positively from the competition with their offers and not just distinguish themselves in some minor regard. Because the success of a company on the market increasingly depends on smoothly functioning IT, the quality standards for IT services and IT service management are also constantly increasing. They must ensure high availability, especially in the market-oriented business processes and service provision, and in the event of a disruption, ensure fast solutions through incident management so that disruptions cannot even become a problem. Until now, there were only complex methods to clearly present and evaluate the quality of the IT services for the business processes and services to be provided. For this reason, we have developed a manageable certification procedure for proving the quality in the IT services and the underlying IT service management, the “TÜV TRUST IT Approved IT Service Quality” certification. All or even individual services can be certified.

Proof of the quality level of your service provision to your customers and business partners

Whether refrigerator, smartwatch or industrial plant – in times of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0, more and more devices in the private and corporate environment are digitally networked. They off er new business opportunities, enhanced benefits and simplified and more efficient processes. But as practical and user-friendly as the increasing interconnectedness is, this trend also brings with it enlarged attack surfaces. Especially since IoT devices contain significantly more complex infrastructures than classic IT. IT security aspects should therefore be included early in the planning, design and implementation of IoT projects. To this end, we and the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence GmbH (DFKI) have developed a test catalogue that allows for an independent and objective evaluation and protection of IoT devices.

Your benefits

Usability is an important consideration in the design of products because it is concerned with the extent to which the users of products are able to work effectively, efficiently and with satisfaction. The usability of products can be improved by incorporating features and attributes known to benefit the users in a particular context of use. Planning for usability as part of the design and development of products involves the systematic identification of requirements for usability, including usability measures and verifiable descriptions of the context of use.

These provide design targets which can be the basis for verification of the resulting design. There is a need for an evaluation and official certification approach in quality of use to ensure product can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals in a specified context of use. Therefore, we have developed the “TÜV TRUST IT Trusted Usability” certification.

Proof for your customers and business partners that your app meets the required level of quality and satisfaction
