Business Software : Receives Quality Label “IT Security Made in Germany“

GBS becomes newest member of TeleTrusT - the German association for IT security

GROUP Business Software AG (GBS) is now a member of TeleTrusT - the German association for IT security. Founded 25 years ago, this network of excellence not only counts important government agencies and institutions, such as Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), among its members, but also global players, such as Microsoft, SAP and Deutsche Bank.

"Against the backdrop of increasing data security requirements and customer demands for elevated levels of security and confidentiality in email communication, becoming a member of TeleTrusT was a step in the right direction for us. Combined with the quality label 'IT security made in Germany,' it demonstrates the reliability of our email management solution iQ.Suite to our customers," argues Andreas Richter, GBS' Vice President of Marketing. He also regards this achievement as a validation of the company's 20 years of expertise in the field of email security. The quality label was awarded after a number of rigorous criteria set by TeleTrusT were met. The reliability of the IT security solution had to be confirmed, which included ensuring that its software does not contain any hidden access points and that Germany is the site of all IT security research and development.

The company, which operates globally in the field of technology and software, has been pursuing two crucial aspects of email communication, data protection and confidentiality, for years. The focus is primarily on central management, comprehensive safe processes and technological innovations, such as encryption methods. More than 5,000 customers and four million users trust in GBS' expertise in the leading platforms: IBM Domino and Microsoft Exchange.

"We are pleased to welcome GROUP Business Software as the newest addition to TeleTrusT. With the company's expertise in the field of secure email communication, we are convinced that it is an asset to our association's activities in the field of IT security in Germany and Europe," says Dr. Holger Mühlbauer, Managing Director of TeleTrusT - the German association for IT security.
