HFD IT-Security

Informationsecurity and Dataprivacy

Protecting information means more than just keeping computers running and keeping hackers out. It requires systems that prioritise data security, careful consideration of what information we collect and responsible handling of that data.

The Information Security Office (SIS) at Fulda University of Applied Sciences is responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring the information security strategy. Together with HFD CERT, SIS coordinates the response to security incidents, analyses them and takes appropriate countermeasures.

Our tasks include the creation and maintenance of security guidelines and procedures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. In doing so, we ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. We carry out regular risk assessments, identify potential security gaps and develop risk mitigation measures. We also sensitise employees to security issues through training and campaigns.
