IT Security

Without adequate information security, digitisation is not possible. We offer advice on the legal aspects of IT and data security.

How we can help
  • IT Security

    We inform our clients which legal IT security obligations must be observed. The same applies to critical infrastructure operators (KRITIS).

  • Data security

    There can be no privacy without data security. We advise on the legal requirements of the GDPR and other data protection regulations for the introduction and documentation of technical and organisational measures.

  • Obligation to report

    We perform legal assessments of security incidents and check the existence of reporting obligations to authorities and affected persons. If necessary, we will prepare a report that safeguards your interests.

  • Liability risks

    We identify personal and company-related liability risks as well as compliance obligations with regard to IT security for the Executive Board and management.

  • Drafting of contracts

    In addition to drafting contractual clauses to ensure the confidentiality of information vis-à-vis business partners, we also formulate staff agreements. These include, for example, the appointment of IT security and data protection officers as well as the obligation to maintain employee data secrecy.

  • IT security concept

    We provide legal support for the introduction of IT security concepts. This includes, for example, the establishment of risk management or internal IT security guidelines, and also the implementation of a data protection impact assessment or legal support for certification procedures and security audits.

However, service providers of such digital systems are also affected. The requirements must be complied with from 17 January 2025.

IT Law

The Law of Information Technology in all its facets is an exciting cross-sectional subject matter that has been familiar to us since its inception. IT law characterises our daily work and engages our lawyers and teams across several law firms with a variety of focal points. Specific expertise is simultaneously concentrated on individual core competences. In doing so, we not only know the law, but also have an understanding of technology.
