Information and cyber security
We process information every day, whether it comes in a digital, physical or verbal format. Every process, our products and even our conversations are shaped by information, which means that we protect all these things. At Bürkert, we protect all sensitive information. In doing so, we safeguard our company’s success.
As the need for information security continues to grow due to increasing digitalisation and work taking place in different locations, Bürkert takes a comprehensive approach to information security. Accordingly, we have implemented a comprehensive, secure and effective information security management system (ISMS) that is based on best-practice standards.
To increase the visibility of information security, here at Bürkert we have developed an internal logo, “B-Secure”, as part of a campaign of the same name. This logo can be found on all information published in relation to this subject, plus training materials and much more.
“For us, cyber security is more than just technology – it is an integral part of our corporate culture. To ensure we are effectively countering threats, at Bürkert we rely on a combination of state-of-the-art tools, clearly structured processes and our employees being in a constant state of awareness. Bürkert’s information security and business continuity depend on us being in an ideal position both technologically and in terms of personnel.”
Our information security is continuously being maintained and improved. As a global company, carving out a global focus is very important to us. The graphic below shows the topics we consider in the area of ISMS, such as IT security, physical security and awareness. Everyone in the company, from management to employee level, is obligated to protect information – from customers, from partners and their own data – as effectively as possible.
Our approach is to protect all sensitive information, such as strategic information, personal information and pricing information, regardless of its format (digital, physical or verbal). We protect this information from theft, unlawful access, misuse, unauthorised modifications or destruction.
We achieve this through the following three core values:
“As the member of the management team with responsibility for IT, information security is very important to me. For that reason, I support the constant efforts to keep our information security up to date and develop it further. To ensure our concepts are strong, we will provide the necessary resources for investing in technical and organisational solutions. We also ensure that Bürkert employees remain highly vigilant by providing regular training measures, protecting both our and their information.”
The pillars of our information security
“In the digital age, companies cannot afford to wait for criminals to strike. The costs of this would be incalculable. Therefore, it is important to proactively develop a solid cyber resilience strategy that protects the business against attacks. At Bürkert, we have created an excellent working foundation with the established ISMS and the B_Secure framework developed for it.”
