Service Provider Audit

Our it experts are here to help

Compliance audit of your service provider

Your partners and service providers make a significant contribution to the success of your company. This makes it all the more important that the IT of your service providers is as efficient and secure as your own.

Can responsibility be outsourced?

Not knowing your partners or service providers is like not knowing your own IT. After all, you cannot correct security vulnerabilities or weaknesses in processes that you know nothing about. The responsibility for outsourced services always remains with you, contrary to many assumptions. In short: responsibility cannot be outsourced.
