360° Security Check: Is Your Company Really Adequately Protected?

"Cybersecurity is the top business risk and is perceived by companies as a threat to their very existence."

Cyberattacks have recently caused over200 billion euros in damagein Germany alone. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have been particularly hard hit. Ransomware attacks lead to system failures, data breaches, and business disruptions, all with the aim of extortion. WithAxsos’360° Security Check, we identify hidden risks in your company’s IT infrastructure quickly, precisely, and with a focus on SMBs. A professionalIT security auditis more than just a snapshot—it’s the start of a sustainable security strategy.

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.

A standard from the Federal Office for Information Security that includes modules for IT security, catalogs of measures, and process models for risk analysis.

An internationally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS) that specifies requirements for risk assessment, documentation obligations, and control mechanisms.

Customized analysis instead of simply working through checklists: Technical scans, configuration checks, and document reviews provide a realistic picture of the security situation.

Structured assessment of all identified risks based on the protection needs analysis. Categorized vulnerabilities with risk assessments and specific recommendations for action.

The IT security audit systematically examines infrastructure, processes, and policies. The penetration test simulates targeted attacks. Ideally, both measures should be combined.
 

All results are documented in clear reports with practical recommendations that are easy to understand for both IT managers and senior management.
