In case of damage, it’s not only data that is lost. The damage to the company’s image can even endanger its existence. This applies especially when incidents become public. Questions of compensation and liability often follow, hitting the management in a vulnerable spot. This is because they have to face the question which preventative measures they had taken against IT-attacks – and which not.
Though IT-compliance, the rules and regulations for the protection of ones own data-processing and saving for which the company itself is responsible, could be provided fast with little effort. Also just as simple, is recognising missing IT-compliance and holding the people responsible – mostly the members of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board – accountable. IT-compliance is crucial in limiting the liability of the company’s top-management. Therefore IT-compliance is the deliberate decision for internal company-security and to be given top priority.
