ConSense QM software provides a solid basis for an effective safety strategy
The new NIS2 directive came into force in October 2024, affecting significantly more companies than before. Cyber security now has a deep impact on business processes and is increasingly becoming a quality management (QM) issue rather than an IT task. A systematic, transparent QM system with ConSense software solutions supports the implementation of cyber protection measures.
Focus on cyber security: the role of quality management
The new NIS2 directive makes it clear that cyber security no longer only affects the IT area, but the entire organization. This means that QM plays a central role when it comes to cyber security. Data integrity and controlled access to information protect against production downtime and ensure the quality of products and services. NIS2 now requires companies to effectively anchor cyber security in their structures and establish comprehensive risk management.
Cyber security benefits from systematic QM
A systematic QM system can improve cyber security in several ways. With its standardized, transparent documentation of processes, it helps to identify weak points in existing procedures - potential gateways for cyber attacks. Regular checks and audits for continuous improvement in QM can also be applied to security precautions. Risk management, also a key QM component, enables specific risks of cyber attacks to be systematically identified and assessed, for example in the IT area. QM also emphasizes the transparent documentation of processes and measures. This can be extended to all security-relevant processes in order to document them in a comprehensible manner and define measures and procedures in the event of cyber attacks. Finally, ongoing employee training is anchored in the QM. With regard to cyber security, employee awareness of security risks is increased through training.
Integrated cyber security with ConSense software
The software solutions from ConSense GmbH offer valuable support in establishing cyber security as an integral part of quality processes and preparing companies for the NIS2 requirements. They are suitable for setting up accepted and practised QM and integrated management systems that are characterized by transparent structures and clearly defined access rights.

The ConSense software already offers companies integrated requirements catalogs and templates, for example for TISAX or for certification in accordance with CISIS12.
