Always ready for audits thanks to a centrally controlled ISMS
The Challenge
As the largest regional telecommunications provider, NetCologne places great emphasis on information security, compliance, and the protection of sensitive data. To consistently meet these high standards, legal and regulatory requirements must be regularly reviewed and verified through multiple audits each year. Early on, the company decided to establish its own Information Security Management System (ISMS) to tailor processes precisely to its own organization. As the scope grew, new data sources emerged, and requirements increased, the need arose to further develop the system in a targeted manner: making it more flexible, transparent, and optimally prepared for upcoming audits. Instead of implementing a standard solution, NetCologne relied on HyPlus’s comprehensive expertise to adapt the solution to its own needs.
Our solution
Since 2022, we have been supporting our customer in the continuous development of a customized ISMS based on Oracle APEX. In close cooperation with the information security officer, requirements are prioritized and implemented in an agile manner. New audit requirements are incorporated directly into further development via a Kanban board and daily coordination meetings. The solution comprises three central applications:
- Application management, including GDPR maintenance
- asset management
- risk management
The result
NetCologne is always ready for audits. Risks, assets, and measures are transparently linked and clearly traceable for all parties involved. Asset managers and implementation managers can see at a glance where action is needed. Open measures can be prioritized in a targeted manner and tracked efficiently. This makes audits more structured, faster, and significantly less manual.
