The Rating Code:

The adequacy for the respective data security and data protection level will be expressed in a three-digit rating-code.

  • The first digit indicates the degree of adequacy of method and processes.
  • The second digit indicates the practical usability of the guide-lines and descriptions.
  • The third digit refers to amend-ments, which are either obligatory to reach a certain level of data security, or help to understand what measures help to reach better data security in terms of an “upgrade”.
Hence a complex matter can be easily understood and applied in daily use. The rating–code provides first orientation. If needed further explanation and advice are available.

Particularly when working with higher or highest data security applications, statements and comments relative to the respective results of the rating must also be considered.

The rating will be updated continuously, considering the latest state of technology.
