Security

Not to be neglected - Data Protection and Security

Industrial espionage, malware and other attacks on data security are a real threat on the Internet. But other forms of data - either on paper or electronic storage media - also require protection from misuse or loss. This is achieved by a catalogue of countermeasures:

All documents which are not currently being dealt with are kept under lock and key.
Data storage media and papers which are no longer needed are safely destroyed.
The latest security patches are always installed for operating systems as well as application software.
All data processing equipment is protected by up-to-date virus protection and firewall software.
Sensitive data is stored encrypted.
E-mail encryption with either PGP or S/MIME is supported.
Regular backups are performed to safeguard against loss of data.

I adhere to the recommendations issued by the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI). For further detail please refer to the web pages of the BSI.
