ISO 27001 Assessment

RKON provided a low-cost ISO 27001 Assessment to get a consolidated view of risks and controls spanning the entire portfolio’s IT, OT, ICS and connected devices.

This current state assessment of controls allowed RKON to assess their maturity level and risks across the entire portfolio of companies.
