IT Compliance

IT compliance ensures secure, efficient and legal data handling | TÜV Rheinland

Implementation of legal requirements with IT compliance

Compliance with legal requirements such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the e-Privacy Directive/Regulation, the Cybersecurity Act, or the EU Trade Secrets Directive is crucial for ensuring effective and secure IT systems and processes.

"IT compliance refers to the knowledge of and compliance with all regulatory guidelines and requirements placed on the company, the initiation and establishment of appropriate processes and the creation of employees' awareness of compliance with regulations, as well as the control and documentation of compliance with the relevant regulations vis-à-vis internal and external addressees.” (Source: Rath/Sponholz, IT Compliance, 2nd edition 2014)

Our experts advise you on adherence and conformance with legal requirements and support you in creating a verifiable compliance management system. We also assist in the field of IT compliance laws, IT governance, information technology, General Data Protection Regulation GDPR, development and the implementation of data exchange platforms or forensic data backup for reliable evidence collection.

Due to the extensive spectrum of IT compliance content and its relevance for digital economic development, it is worthwhile for you to consult a recognized and experienced partner. We offer you corresponding services for legally adherent and economically efficient IT compliance, while raising the awareness of its necessity among your employees.

Functional framework as a comprehensive GRC system for IT compliance | TÜV Rheinland
Governance, risk and compliance are important factors for a functioning company.

"Governance" in this context means ensuring the feasibility and controllability to increase the effectiveness of the measures taken. "Risk" deals with the identification and evaluation of business-specific IT compliance risks. The term "compliance" ultimately refers to the company's regulatory compliance.
