Information Technology (IT) Cybersecurity

We are increasingly dependent on information technology to manage our key business processes at work, as well as in our personal lives. A wide variety of new services are typically connected via IT systems, networks, software, and the Internet. This, in turn, makes them more vulnerable to hostile or accidental security breaches. Bureau Veritas, as an independent third party, verifies that your organisation (and your suppliers) comply with cybersecurity legislation and standard criteria to reduce this risk.

DESCRIPTION

We can no longer live without information and communication technology (ICT). But the constant threat of hackers exploiting vulnerabilities in services highlights just how important security, protection, and privacy are for all of us and for our businesses.

Because of its social significance, cybersecurity has also become a subject of legislative regulation. In Europe, for example, privacy is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Operators of Essential Services (OESs) and Digital Service Providers (DSPs) must comply with the EU Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive.

How can you be sure that your organisation and systems are secure and compliant? To answer this question, there are numerous standards, best practices, and methodologies, such as ISO 27001, ISO 27017 for cloud security, the OWASP standard, and the NIST standard.

As a global leader, Bureau Veritas provides the necessary independent cybersecurity services to assess and certify your IT systems.
