What is your idea about?
Setting up an information security management system (ISMS) is a challenge for many companies. In particular, it is difficult to adapt to the requirements of different information security frameworks and combine them into an overarching corporate policy. This process is very time-consuming, expensive and personnel-intensive, which often overwhelms small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular.
How did you come up with your idea?
Stefan is an active researcher in Large Language Models, Markus has many years of experience in ISO 27001 certifications
Detailed description of your start-up
When setting up an Information Security Management System (ISMS) and pending certifications, companies are faced with the challenge of establishing conformity with the relevant information security frameworks. The basic foundation is the creation of a harmonized and company-specific information security policy.
Companies are often subject to requirements from several frameworks (including BSI basic protection, ISO 27001, SWIFT, TARGET, B3S, TISAX, PCI-DSS, etc.), which need to be combined in one policy. At present, almost every company starts from scratch when creating security guidelines - the relevant requirements have to be picked out, placed next to each other and linked in order to create their own policy. For companies
It is very time-consuming for companies to work their way through the frameworks and the employees involved are often busy with internal project and line activities. External employees who provide operational support and advice, on the other hand, are expensive. The cost of external consultants has often been too high for SMEs in particular. We help building up information security policies with AI.
