People you can TRUST grows: TÜV TRUST IT and ciphron join forces

The IT security world is moving a little closer together: TÜV TRUST IT is combining its activities with ciphron and thus consistently continuing its growth strategy. The result is a significantly expanded network of expertise for IT and information security – with greater impact, additional know-how, and a team of more than 200 security specialists who work together to make digital risks a little smaller.

With locations in Vienna, Cologne, Hanover, Dresden, Berlin and Bornheim, not only is the team growing, but so is its regional presence across the German-speaking region. Shorter distances, faster response times and closer proximity to customers and projects are the logical outcome. As a BSI-certified IT security service provider, TÜV TRUST IT, together with ciphron, covers the entire security lifecycle – from risk analyses and maturity assessments to penetration testing and long-term governance, risk and compliance structures. Or, in other words: from the initial security check to a sustainable security strategy, all from a single source.

The combined experience spans Critical Infrastructures (KRITIS), energy, health & public sectors and OT environments, as well as banking, finance & insurance and e-commerce platforms. The aim of the merger is an integrated approach to holistic information security, where expertise comes together and interfaces generate as little friction as possible – because security may be complex, but it doesn’t have to feel complicated.

For existing customers and partners, everything remains familiar: points of contact, processes and legal frameworks remain unchanged. Behind the scenes, however, an even more powerful organization is taking shape, enabling additional capacity and new specializations. The merger therefore marks an important step in the strategic development of TÜV TRUST IT – with the clear goal of supporting companies even more comprehensively in securing their digital business processes over the long term.

We are delighted to continue our successful collaboration within the expanded structure and to support companies even more comprehensively in securing their digital business processes in the future,” says the management of TÜV TRUST IT.
