VIP Security Check
VIP Security Check
Completely secure at work and in private life
In today's digitalized world, IT security is an essential component in both business and private environments. As a leading executive - whether as CEO, managing director, board member or owner - you are responsible not only for your company, but also for your personal data and that of your family. Cyber criminals are not only targeting companies, but also private individuals in order to steal valuable information or gain access to their corporate IT networks. By assessing the IT security in your private life, you not only protect your personal integrity, but also prevent potentially compromising your business information through your personal information and vice-versa. By taking a holistic approach to IT security, you set an example for your family and ensure that your personal digital presence is just as protected as your company.
Here, BDO Cyber Security GmbH is at your side as your competent and trustworthy partner. Our specialists will visit your residence and help you see your private IT landscape from an attacker's perspective. We will be with you every step of the way as we implement various safety measures together with you.
VIP Security Check - After all, hackers don't differentiate between work environment and leisure time!
The core idea of the VIP Security Check is to ensure that your IT security and protection level are maintained to the highest possible standard in your private life as well. After all, weaknesses in your personal IT landscape could, in the worst-case scenario, also have an impact on your company!
As part of this personalised assessment, our IT security experts work with you to check the following aspects at your home:
- Handling and protecting passwords: In addition to checking the passwords of your online accounts for strength and uniqueness, we will set up a password safe for you that guarantees the best possible protection for your passwords, PINs, and other sensitive data - making forgotten, weak or reused passwords are a thing of the past.
- Account security: Many online services, whether social media or home banking, provide different login methods - together we will select the most secure and suitable option and configure secure use for you. This includes, for example, the selection of an adequate and secure two-factor authentication or the necessary preparations for a seamless account recovery process.
- OSINT: Sometimes information about individuals who are particularly exposed is available on the Internet, which puts them at a higher risk from an IT security perspective. As part of our open-source intelligence analysis, we will compile a small dossier for you.
- Security Software and Updates: We ensure that your antivirus software is up to date and configure regular security updates for your operating system, applications, and devices. This way, you don't have to worry about it, and you can always maintain secure systems.
- Network security: We check the encryption strength and configuration of your wireless networks (WLAN). We can also help you segment your network, for example into a personal and a guest WLAN network. The available options here vary based on the router model you have, which is why we talk to you in advance and plan a replacement if necessary.
- Secure devices: We assist you in physically protecting all your devices, including computers, smartphones and tablets, with passcodes or biometrics (fingerprint or facial recognition). If you have old devices that you no longer use, we can delete or destroy all data stored on them properly.
- Security of smart devices: Security of smart devices: If you have smart devices in your household (e.g. smart TVs, smart home controls, etc.), we will check for you that they are both securely configured (e.g. by using secure passwords) and receive regular security updates - to ensure that they remain secure in the future.
- Home office security: If you work from home, we verify that the corresponding connection (VPN) for accessing company resources is securely integrated into your home network.
- Security Awareness for Partners and Children: Attackers will not hesitate to target your children or partner via the internet to reach you. We would be glad to provide an explanation of the threat situation to all family members, especially the danger posed by so-called “deepfakes” created using artificial intelligence, so that they are aware of how to act safely online.
All inspections and changes are discussed and documented with you - our experts take care to ensure that your comfort of use is maintained, whilst allowing you to feel safer in the future.
