Principles of the T-Systems Security Solution

In the Service of Security

The data security and data protection measures and solutions that T-Systems undertakes comply with the data security requirements laid down in the fundamental ISO 17799/27001 standard. T-Systems is aware of its responsibility to provide customers with services of the highest quality. That is why we always inform and advise our customers proactively on potential security risks. Regular meetings with the people in charge on the customers’ side promote the exchange of information and help to identify in good time any need to make procedural changes. The T-Systems security solution is constantly reviewed and always kept state-of-the-art.

The methods, tools and processes that T-Systems uses to deliver the highest security standards have already gained several certifications. DQS, a German certification body for management systems, has certificated T-Systems in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001:2005. Independent management consultants Ernst & Young confirmed in their SAS 70 Type II report that all security checks are in use and are effective.

Living Security

Data security and data protection are top priorities at T-Systems. Involving the management ensures that security issues always command management attention. At the same time the management’s directions on security strategy ensure that all employees are suitably aware of the need to establish a code of security behavior in order to jointly achieve the security targets that have been set. At T-Systems security is an integral part of all business processes. All processes are constantly checked for security-relevant components and updated accordingly. Responsibility for ensuring that all of the necessary steps are really taken lies with each and every employee – up to and including the management.
