Efficient Combined Security: Data & IT Protection in One

Efficient Combined Security: Data & IT Protection in One

Integrated – Secure – Practical
Achieve optimal data protection and IT security with Trigonum’s combined approach. Integrated strategies for maximum compliance and risk reduction.

 - Trigonum - Managementsysteme für Informationssicherheit und Datenschutz auf Basis Mircosoft 365
The requirements from customers, legislators, banks, and insurers regarding information security and data protection within companies are constantly increasing. More and more customers demand concrete proof from their suppliers that an efficient information security management system has been established. In addition, companies are required to ensure the proper processing of personal data.

Combined Security is an approach that views information security and data protection together, maximizing synergies and strengthening compliance efforts. Information security is a crucial prerequisite for implementing data protection within companies. It encompasses not only the security of processes, applications, and IT systems, and the data processed and stored within them, but also the security of non-electronic information. A key component of information security is data security.

Since both areas are interconnected, Combined Security prevents duplication of efforts and reduces workloads by integrating data protection and information security disciplines. Our experts support your company in achieving these efficiencies, creating a streamlined, effective security environment.

The importance of Combined Security is clear: as business processes increasingly depend on information technology, the failure of IT systems or theft of information can result in significant financial damage to companies or their customers. The demands on information security within companies are constantly growing. The recommendations of the international standard ISO 27001 and the IT-Grundschutz catalog of the BSI help companies implement robust IT security.

Similarly, data protection is gaining importance in public perception. Violations of employee or customer privacy can lead to substantial financial losses and damage a company’s reputation. Complying with laws and requirements is a growing challenge for companies, making Combined Security an essential strategy for protecting data, meeting legal standards, and safeguarding business continuity.

Structured Approach Model for Building a Data Protection Management System

We have developed our own approach model for integrated management systems that addresses data protection and information security together to create synergies. This model takes into account the compliance requirements of relevant standards and norms. In addition, we have developed a framework of measures, processes, templates, guidelines, and documents to effectively and sustainably translate extensive compliance requirements and evidence obligations into operational practice.

Our structured approach has allowed us to break down the complex requirements for building a GDPR-compliant data protection management system into manageable work and solution components—our Workpackages.

In addition to the structured approach model, our framework includes a holistic and audit-proven documentation concept that we rely on. This includes management manuals, process descriptions, guidelines, templates, forms, and implementation concepts.

More on Data Protection

  • Integrated DSMS + ISMS
  •  - Trigonum - Managementsysteme für Informationssicherheit und Datenschutz auf Basis Mircosoft 365To meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), particularly regarding risk management, documentation, and evidence obligations, regular auditing, and the continuous improvement of defined processes, it is necessary to build a Data Protection Management System (DSMS). Ideally, this system should be integrated with other relevant management systems (QMS, ISMS, etc.) in your company to avoid duplication of efforts and increase transparency.
    For this purpose, we have developed our innovative tool, “TRIGovernance,” for building and operating integrated management systems. The close integration of solution components for document management and control, information classification, asset and risk management, processing descriptions, data protection impact assessments, as well as audit and task management, makes “TRIGovernance” a powerful collaboration platform for integrated management systems. This allows companies to centralize all information and solution components in one place, streamline processes, and leverage synergies for mapping the different management systems.

  • Structured Approach Model
  •  - Trigonum - Managementsysteme für Informationssicherheit und Datenschutz auf Basis Mircosoft 365

    We have developed our own approach model for integrated management systems that addresses data protection and information security together to create synergies. This model considers the compliance requirements of relevant standards and norms, which we have consolidated into controls. In the next step, we developed a framework of measures, processes, templates, guidelines, and documents to effectively and sustainably implement the extensive compliance requirements and evidence obligations into operational practice.

    Our structured approach has allowed us to break down the complex requirements for building a GDPR-compliant data protection management system into manageable work and solution components—our Workpackages.

    A functional data protection management system is based on an initial audit to determine the current status. Only by knowing where you currently stand can we plan the right path to your goal together.

    The advantage of this approach is that it provides clear answers to the following questions:

    • What measures can be used to meet the requirements (controls)?
    • What “DSMS documents” are required for a GDPR-compliant DSMS?
    • What measures are typically covered in which documents?
    • What requirements have already been implemented in our company, and what still needs to be done to meet the respective audit standards?
    • What should I consider when building a GDPR-compliant data protection organization?
    • Who is responsible for what, and in what steps should I proceed?

    This will enable you to quickly and confidently respond to questions from external auditors (e.g., data protection authorities, accreditation bodies) regarding your evidence obligations.

    In addition to the structured approach model, our framework includes a holistic and audit-proven documentation concept that we can rely on. This concept includes management manuals, process descriptions, guidelines, templates, forms, and implementation concepts.

  • Protecting Data and Knowledge
  •  - Trigonum - Managementsysteme für Informationssicherheit und Datenschutz auf Basis Mircosoft 365

    More and more companies are recognizing the value of information and data in the digital age, which means that in addition to the legally required protection of personal data, the protection of corporate knowledge is becoming increasingly important. Information and data are essential assets for companies and must be adequately protected. Since most information and personal data are now at least partially created, stored, transported, or processed using information technology (IT), it is necessary to take measures to adequately protect this information. Simply purchasing antivirus software, firewalls, or data backup systems is often no longer sufficient to achieve an appropriate level of security for all business processes, information, and IT systems within a company. A comprehensive approach is necessary to meet this challenge.

    This requires, above all, a functioning and integrated security management system within the company. This includes implementing so-called TOMs (technical and organizational measures) as part of risk management to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, applications, and IT systems. This is a continuous process, in which strategies and concepts must constantly be evaluated for their effectiveness and adjusted as needed. Trigonum supports companies in building tailored data protection and/or information security management systems to adequately protect personal data and corporate knowledge.
