help AG’s approach involves integrated consulting of IT-security and information security. While among all company risks the proportion of the IT- and information-based risks is increasing, the significance of information security is growing. Information security encompasses the strategic and technical implementation within companies.
The dynamic assessment of how information risks are influential risk factors within the overall company risk is done by setting up an ISMS (Information Security Management System).

In addition to fulfilling current and future legal requirements (KonTraG, SOX, product liability, Solvency II, Basel II, AktG) ISMS is an important control instrument for the management of a company, and complements other management systems such as quality management (ISO900x), eco-management (ISO1400x) and IT-service management (ITIL and ISO2000x, not published).
Introducing ISMS into a company as a feedback control system is not a legal requirement, but with the increasing importance of information security for the security of a company, ISMS will be a vital tool within the framework of a company’s risk management in the future. Further advantages:
