New Guideline on Cyber Security for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises

Corporate security often comprises the classic fields of fire protection, electronic and physical security (burglary, theft, sabotage). Natural hazards are another topic (e.g. flooding, heavy rain) – and so are, at least nowadays, all aspects of cyber security.

Modern IT technologies are required for the management of any business. They are necessary to ensure logistical and technical processes and, of course, internet access, which is essential to survive in today’s market. Unfortunately, the increasing digitisation is creating new opportunities for cyber criminals.

Together with its technical experts and based on German national requirements, CFPA has developed a working document helping to face this challenge on a supranational basis. It is tailored to small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). The document helps SME to improve the status of their information security so that they can withstand cyber threats with a better outcome. The status of SME regarding their cyber stability can be subjected to audits and certification to ensure a higher standard of safety, and to inform e.g. their business partners accordingly.

Insurers and/or customers may even ask for certified cyber security. So it is important to check one’s status of cyber security – starting off with the Cyber Quick-Check (cf. CFPA-E.eu) which is completely free of charge.
