Quality management promotes cyber security

The new NIS2 directive came into force in October 2024, affecting significantly more companies than before. Cyber ​​security now has a deep impact on business processes and is increasingly moving from being an IT task to being an issue for quality management (QM). A systematic, transparent QM system with ConSense software solutions supports the implementation of cyber protection measures. With existing structures, security standards can be implemented and continuously improved. This offers companies a strong foundation for a robust cyber security strategy.

Cyber ​​security in focus: The role of quality management

The new NIS2 directive makes it clear that cyber security no longer just affects the IT sector, but the entire organization. QM therefore plays a central role in all aspects of cyber security. Data integrity and controlled access to information protect against production downtime and ensure the quality of products and services. NIS2 requires companies to now at the latest effectively anchor cyber security in their structures and set up comprehensive risk management.

Cyber ​​security benefits from systematic QM

A systematic QM system can improve cyber security in several ways. With its standardized, transparent documentation of processes, it helps to identify weak points in existing processes - potential entry points for cyber attacks. Regular checks and audits for continuous improvement in QM can also be applied to security precautions. Risk management, also an essential component of QM, enables specific risks of cyber attacks to be systematically identified and assessed, for example in the IT sector.

QM also places value on the transparent documentation of processes and measures. This can be extended to all security-relevant processes in order to document them in a comprehensible manner and to define measures and procedures in the event of cyber attacks. Finally, ongoing training of employees is anchored in QM. With regard to cyber security, training increases employees' awareness of security risks.
