Barriers to Efficient Information Flows
Many companies rely on numerous systems with individual data sets that often run in parallel without true connectivity. Finding accurate and up-to-date information can quickly become time-consuming and inefficient.
Challenges when working with enterprise data:
Multiple systems
No consistent logic for filing and storage
Heterogeneous data sources
Different formats without a shared standard
GDPR compliance
Strict requirements for proper storage and use
Security risks
On-premises solutions are maintenance-intensive and vulnerable
Unclear access rights
Increased security risks due to inconsistent permission management
Limited scalability
Business requirements grow faster than internal data centers can support
Growing demand for cloud solutions
Collaborative work is becoming essential

IT Security From the Start
Protecting sensitive enterprise data is at the core of GFOS software solutions. Data protection and cybersecurity are therefore integral parts of the overall system architecture.
- Certified security: Hosting is based on ISO 27001 and meets the highest requirements for information security management systems, from provisioning and system connectivity to ongoing operations. Regular audits confirm compliance with these standards.
- GDPR compliance: Data is stored, managed, and processed according to GDPR requirements. If needed, GFOS also supports the implementation of individual data protection concepts.
- Secure cloud infrastructure: Data exchange with the cloud is encrypted by default. Core security mechanisms such as firewalls are regularly reviewed through external penetration tests to maintain high security standards over the long term.
- Crisis and incident management: Systems and data remain protected even in the event of a disruption. In addition to its own business continuity management concept, GFOS works with external incident response providers to identify and resolve potential disruptions quickly.
