Audits with clarity.
Lead auditor for information security, business continuity and privacy — appointed and certified by renowned accredited certification bodies. Fair, well-founded and easy to follow, in English and German.
Audits that are more than a tick in a box.
I audit management systems against the relevant standards — and translate requirements into measures that actually work inside your organisation.
Information Security
Set-up, assessment and certification audit of your ISMS — from risk assessment to the Statement of Applicability.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022 02Business Continuity
BCM audits for stronger organisational and process resilience — not just recovery, but robustness that holds under pressure.
ISO 22301 03Privacy Management
A PIMS extending your ISMS — evidence that personal data is governed in line with the GDPR.
ISO/IEC 27701 04TISAX
Information-security assessments for the automotive industry — preparation and support based on VDA ISA.
TISAX · VDA ISA 05Critical Infrastructure
Assessment of KRITIS operators and implementation of NIS2 requirements — with the BSIG in view.
KRITIS · NIS2 06Quality Management
QM audits that sharpen processes instead of producing paperwork — focused on what creates value.
ISO 9001 07AI Management System
Audit of your AI management system to ISO 42001 — structured evidence in the context of the EU AI Act.
ISO/IEC 42001 08IT Consulting
Planning, delivery and operation of IT systems for smaller companies — more than 20 years of experience.
IT systems · SME 09Advisory & Implementation
Implementation and consulting through our sister company — deliberately separate from the independent audit.
Opitz Dechant GmbH ↗From first contact to proof of conformity.
Whether it's initial certification, a TISAX assessment or transferring an existing certificate — the process follows a clear sequence. You always know where you stand.
Contact & scoping
We clarify standard, scope and timeline — initial certification, TISAX or certificate transfer.
Planning & preparation
Review of documentation and maturity; for a transfer, also the existing certificate.
Assessment
Assessment of effectiveness, on site or remote — matched to the standard and assessment level.
Report & evaluation
A clear report with findings and a recommendation on certificate or label.
Maintenance
Surveillance, recertification or label maintenance on the relevant cycle.
Someone who understands what goes on in your organisation.
Complex processes, many stakeholders, competing interests — and still keeping a clear view. That is the discipline A-PC stands for.
Instead of ticking through a checklist, you get an audit that speaks your language: that of IT as much as that of management. Audits are carried out in English and German.
