Our colleagues around Stefanie Fischer and Samantha Murmann have launched a new product called CyberRisikoCheck (CRC). The CRC offers small and medium-sized enterprises and local authorities an efficient way to assess their current security status and receive targeted recommendations for action. The product is particularly well suited for cross-selling purposes.

The CyberRiskCheck (CRC) shows you how secure your company’s IT is. Given the increasing threats posed by cybercrime, protecting IT and information security is essential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as local authorities. The CyberRiskCheck (CRC), based on DIN SPEC 27076, provides an efficient way to assess your current security posture.

What is the CyberRiskCheck?

The CyberRiskCheck (CRC) is an information security assessment method designed specifically for SMEs and local authorities. It evaluates the current situation and offers a clear overview of potential risks and the existing level of security. This assessment tool was developed under the leadership of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and Der Mittelstand. BVMW e.V.

The CRC acts as an initial step towards enhancing information security, with responsibility for implementing the recommendations resting with the organisation itself. TÜVIT is available to provide support if required.
