Code of Conduct

Digitization and mobility are changing the world, enabling global communication in fractions of a second and offering even small companies opportunities in global cooperation.

Tomorrow nothing will be the way our parents' generation got to know the world. The change to the digital economy, the unstoppable advance of apps for smartphones and tablets and advancing digitization are changing our daily lives.

But with the advantages of the digital world, there is also a great deal of responsibility. The responsibility for a peaceful coexistence and humanity, a responsible use of the available resources of our world as well as the trustful handling of the available data - your data and our data.

We at ISEC7 stand for clear rules, because our mutual success is based on the trust of customers, partners and employees!

"The focus is on people, not technology!"

"ISEC7 assures customers that data and information will be
handled with confidence!"

"Careful use of resources. Go virtual whenever it's possible!"
