Information security as part of the company philosophy
At EXCON, information security is an important cornerstone of our corporate philosophy. The protection of sensitive data is a core element of successful companies today. It is therefore of vital importance to us to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of this data. Our information security measures are designed to minimize risks and ensure that the data of our customers, partners and employees is optimally protected.
Information Security in the Corporate Culture
At EXCON, information security is not just a technical challenge, but part of our philosophy. We are convinced that a conscious and responsible handling of data strengthens the trust of our customers and partners and secures our business success in the long term. That is why we are constantly working to improve our measures and adapt to the latest challenges.
The role of management
At EXCON, information security is not only the responsibility of the IT department. Our management has recognized the importance of this topic and ensures that it is an integral part of our corporate strategy. The management ensures that the necessary resources are available for the implementation of our security measures and actively supports a security culture throughout the company. This also includes compliance with important legal requirements, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as well as the development of company-specific guidelines that are specially tailored to the requirements and needs of EXCON.
An overview of our information security practices
Technical Security Measures
We use state-of-the-art technology to keep our IT systems secure. This means that we regularly update and monitor our IT infrastructure. This helps us to identify and prevent potential threats. We use powerful firewalls and specialized intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS). These protect our networks and prevent unauthorized access. We also encrypt sensitive information so that only authorized individuals can access it. To protect against malware such as viruses and Trojan horses, we use anti-malware programs that are constantly updated.
Organizational measures for better security
In addition to technical protection, the organization within the company is also decisive for security. At EXCON, we have introduced our own Information Security Management System (ISMS) in accordance with the international standard ISO 27001. This system helps us to systematically identify and manage security risks.
To ensure that all employees are always up to date, we conduct regular training sessions. This training teaches our employees how to handle data securely and what precautions to take in their daily work. We also have clear rules about who can access what information. Only authorized individuals have access to sensitive data, and that access is strictly monitored. We conduct regular security reviews and audits to ensure that our measures remain effective over time.
Fast and efficient processes
We have clear processes in place to act quickly and decisively in the event of an emergency. These incident response protocols help us respond immediately to an attack. We identify the problem, stop it, repair the damage, and then carefully analyze what happened to learn for the future.
