Information Security and Regulation

Information Security and Regulation

 

The goal of information security is to protect an organization's information and assets from loss, leakage, unauthorized access, theft, natural disasters, or other threats so that the information and assets remain useful only to their users.   

Although cyber protection is the responsibility of each individual company, it is necessary to ensure its functioning in the event of a sudden event from the point of view of the entire economy. A well-targeted attack can disable a company for months and cause tens of millions of crowns in damage. 

As cyber incidents can fundamentally threaten key infrastructure, the EU at European level, and hence the National Cyber and Information Security Authority (NCIS), is legislating on cyber security.


The impact of a cyber incident on organisations can be significant, ranging from reputational damage to operational and/or financial losses. 

So the message is: be vigilant and gain resilience. Organisations should focus not only on the technical aspects of information security, but also on physical security, operational resilience and overarching elements such as governance, risk management and compliance.

How BDO can help you


  • Do you want an objective assessment to determine if your business applications and infrastructure are resilient to cyber threats? 
  • Do you want to know if your organisation is adequately addressing legal requirements such as NIS2 or DORA?
  • Do you need to have a clear understanding of measures to prevent and address cyber incidents? 
  • Are you looking for the support you need in the form of training and consultation to make your stakeholders aware of the risks of cyber threats and the potential consequences?

The BDO approach


We will help you build information security in your organization from the ground up, starting with complete preparation and ending with final implementation. If you already have some parts implemented we will perform a complete audit in individual areas e.g. ISMS or compliance with the ZKB. At the same time, we also provide consulting services in sub-parts, such as the design of risk management methodologies, the establishment of security policies or the creation of security documentation.
