WGKD agreement: verinice with special conditions for church-related institutions

When it comes to the earthly affairs of the church, faith and trust are not always enough – at least not when it comes to protecting sensitive data and digital processes. This is precisely where the new framework agreement between the Wirtschaftsgesellschaft der Kirchen in Deutschland mbH (WGKD) and the SerNet GmbH comes into play: verinice is now available to church institutions at discounted rates.

Clerical organizations are facing growing demands for information security, data protection, and business continuity. verinice offers a ready-to-use tool that structures risks, makes measures traceable, and enables audit-proof documentation. And because digital sovereignty is at least as important today as a good backup, institutions using verinice retain full data sovereignty and independence from proprietary systems.

The open-source software supports recognized standards such as BSI IT-Grundschutz, ISO/IEC 27001, GDPR, NIS 2 and BCM. Open interfaces and modular domains also allow other regulations to be flexibly mapped—from industry-specific requirements to church guidelines. The result is an integrated management system that reliably guides you through all audit situations—without any miracles.

With the new WGKD framework agreement, affiliated organizations can purchase verinice at attractive conditions – both as an on-premises version (verinice.onprem) or as verinice. PRO until the end of 2026, and as a cloud solution hosted by SerNet (verinice.cloud).

Further information is available from the WGKD on the verinice framework agreement page. Or you can contact us directly.
