- Definition, Objectives, and Normative Foundations of the 360° Security Check
What is an IT security audit, and what standards apply?
AnIT security auditis a structured review and assessment of a company’s IT infrastructure, processes, and policies. The goal is to identify potential vulnerabilities, conduct a thoroughrisk analysis, and verify compliance with regulatory requirements such asBSI IT-GrundschutzandISO 27001. Axsos’s360° Security Checkis based on both standards and combines experienced IT security consulting with customizedvulnerability analysisrather than simply working through checklists.
BSI IT baseline protection
A standard from the Federal Office for Information Security that includes modules for IT security, catalogs of measures, and process models for risk analysis.
ISO 27001
An internationally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS) that specifies requirements for risk assessment, documentation obligations, and control mechanisms.
Vulnerability Analysis
Customized analysis instead of simply working through checklists: Technical scans, configuration checks, and document reviews provide a realistic picture of the security situation.
Risk Analysis
Structured assessment of all identified risks based on the protection needs analysis. Categorized vulnerabilities with risk assessments and specific recommendations for action.
Audit & Penetration Test
Easy-to-Understand Audit Reports
All results are documented in clear reports with practical recommendations that are easy to understand for both IT managers and senior management.
- APCOA PARKING Deutschland GmbH
Reliable IT Infrastructure for the Opening of BER Airport
For the opening of Berlin Brandenburg Airport, APCOA’s entire parking infrastructure had to be up and running on schedule. Axsos completely modernized the scalable IT infrastructure: outdated servers were replaced, the network design was optimized, and new services such as FlowANPR and digital taxi management were integrated. This gave APCOA the stability and reliability it needed to focus on providing dependable service to millions of travelers.
- APCOA Deutschland GmbH
Modern Controlling Instead of Manual Spreadsheet Maintenance
APCOA’s controlling team was working with error-prone Excel reports and lacked standardized processes. Axsos implemented a complete Power BI environment and converted existing reports into automated dashboards. Recurring analyses now update automatically. The controlling team now has more time for strategic tasks rather than routine work and makes decisions based on transparent, standardized data processes.
- Railway and Transportation Union (EVG)
Manage 400 cases securely, transparently, and automatically
EVG used to manage the process for reporting supervisory board appointments for over 400 positions manually using Excel and email. Security risks associated with the exchange of sensitive compensation data and a high administrative burden were weighing on the organization. Axsos developed a secure web application with automated workflows, a protected in-process chat feature, and centralized control. Today , the entire process is audit-ready, transparent, and secure.
- Railway and Transportation Union (EVG)
Secure data management that reduces the workload for members and staff
For a long time, the EVG managed member data manually via mail and email. This led to errors and delays. Axsos developed a secure digital member portal that allows members to manage their own data directly. Automatic validation reduces sources of error, and a complete change history ensures transparency. This significantly reduces the workload on administrative staff, freeing them up to focus on value-added tasks.
- Railway and Transportation Union (EVG)
94% automated: Membership verification with measurable results
Rising application volumes and manual verification processes across two systems were placing a significant burden on EVG’s case processing. Axsos implemented a rule-based, automated verification process using encrypted web services and a central process dashboard. Today, 94% of all verifications are handled automatically. The ROI was achieved in just three months. A scalable solution that grows with EVG’s needs.
- Hosokawa Alpine
98% Customer Satisfaction in Three Months: How Hosokawa Alpine Revamped Its IT Services
Hosokawa Alpine was using siloed systems without a shared database. KPIs were barely visible, and decisions were based on experience rather than data. Axsos implemented Xurrent as a central ITSM platform, featuring a structured service catalog, a self-service portal, and customized KPI dashboards. The result: 98% customer satisfaction and a full rollout in three months.
- Gustav Magenwirth GmbH (Magura)
IT Security as a Strategic Foundation for Growth and Partnership
As a Bosch partner, Magura faced clearly defined security requirements: a robust information security management system (ISMS) and TISAX certification. Axsos worked with Magura to develop a cloud-based ISMS and establish a security awareness program that embeds IT security throughout the entire company. Within eight to nine months, IT security became an integral part of the company’s culture.
- Oxfam
Digital educational initiatives that remain effective even under difficult conditions
Oxfam coordinated training programs for 29 partner organizations in Palestine, Gaza, and Jerusalem using manual email and Excel processes. There was no central platform for course management, learning progress tracking, and reporting. Axsos developed a secure digital education portal with automated registration and integrated Power BI reporting. The organization is achieving time savings of 60 to 70% and has gained a scalable foundation for its educational work.
