Why self-made ISMS?
Cyber security is becoming increasingly important for SMEs - and at the same time increasingly complex. Many standards such as ISO 27001, TISAX® or BSI baseline protection are helpful, but are often too complex or too technical for small companies. Selfmade ISMS closes this gap: A pragmatic system that you can implement yourself - step by step, with immediately noticeable improvements.

Testimonials
"I think the content of the book and the structure are really good, something like this would have been a great help to me when we were certified.
Otherwise you don't know where to start and what to expect, and you're faced with a huge mountain of problems.
Your step-by-step explanation is very useful."

Motivation
Where did the idea come from?
Existing offers for implementing IT and information security in companies are often difficult to understand or very expensive and therefore not affordable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Based on their many years of experience in IT and information security, the authors of this book have developed a special framework for SMEs with which you can achieve a great deal in cyber security with little effort - explained in a beginner-friendly way.
Get to know the basic best practices of IT security with the “Selfmade ISMS” and receive tips on how you can implement them directly yourself.
Get to secure business processes in a targeted manner and learn how to overcome the dangers and challenges of cyber security in everyday business life. Be it the threat of a crypto Trojan, the question of how best to exchange confidential data with business partners or how best to protect your business data from technically induced data loss.
With our quick wins, you can achieve cyber security in your company in 7 steps and achieve quick results and improve your security level. You can set your own priorities and achieve your individually secured SME step by step. This also includes common certifications such as ISO® 27001, TISAX® or BSI, which are widely used and recognized in Germany and Europe and can give you a competitive advantage.
