Management System Standards - Use and Impact

A first QI-FoKuS study (2019) sheds light on the use of different management systems. In a second study (2020), 125 companies of various industries and sizes in Germany were surveyed specifically on the use and of an information security management system in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001. Both studies are currently available in German only.
