The path to basic protection: on course with verinice

In cooperation with neam IT Services GmbH, SerNet publishes the additional module "verinice WiBA - Weg in die Basis-Absicherung" free of charge in the verinice.SHOP.  The "Weg in die Basisabsicherung" (WIBA) stands for a practice-oriented approach that the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has developed specifically for local authorities to facilitate and accelerate the implementation of IT baseline protection.

Through test questions in topic-specific checklists, WiBA enables institutions to make a well-founded assessment of their information security  - even without in-depth knowledge of the basic protection methodology. The BSI checklists form the basis for efficiently identifying and implementing the necessary security requirements. With verinice as a platform, the leading open source software for information security management, the implementation of the WiBA checklists is seamless: thanks to the specially developed sample organization and report templates, verinice provides users with a structured and clearly defined way to implement basic protection. The WiBA add-on module is available for both verinice.PRO and the verinice standalone version.

WiBA is tailored to the needs of local authorities. With the link to the IT baseline protection profile "Basic Protection for Local Government Version 3.0", WiBA enables a practical and directly implementable security strategy that confidently supports organizations on their way to improved IT security.

The additional module "verinice WiBA - the path to basic security" is based on the expertise of neam IT-Services GmbH. The company is a long-standing verinice partner and has also been awarded verinice contributor status with this contribution. Contributors are members of the partner network who also contribute to the further development of the ISMS tool in terms of content.
