SECURITY AWARENESS & GOVERNANCE

Security Starts with People
and Clear Structures

Roles, policies and awareness for information security that is actually lived

ORGANIZATION, POLICIES & AWARENESS

Strengthen Security Awareness. Define Responsibilities Clearly.

Even the best security strategy only works if it is actually lived within the company. Unclear responsibilities, outdated policies or a lack of risk awareness in day-to-day work are among the most common weak points — regardless of the technology in use.

GRASS-MERKUR helps companies establish clear responsibilities, make policies easy to understand and raise employees' awareness of information security for the long term.

Security thought through as a whole
We do not treat security in isolation, but as the interplay of infrastructure, processes, people and governance.

We support companies with:

  • Role and responsibility models
  • Security policies and processes
  • Governance structures and decision paths
  • Regular management reviews
  • Awareness training tailored to each audience
  • Phishing and social engineering simulations
  • Traceable documentation for audits

Challenges

Why Technology Alone Is Not Enough

Many security incidents are not caused by a lack of technology, but by unclear responsibilities or a lack of risk awareness in everyday work.

Even the best security architecture remains ineffective if no one is responsible for ensuring compliance or if employees fail to recognize risks.

Frequently asked questions include:

Who is actually responsible for what in our organization?
Do our employees know the relevant security policies?
How do we spot phishing and social engineering early?
Are our governance structures documented well enough to withstand an audit?
How do we embed security awareness permanently in day-to-day work?

For Whom

For Which Companies Is Security Awareness & Governance Suitable?

Security Awareness & Governance is suitable for companies where responsibilities are unclear, policies are rarely followed in practice, or where employee security awareness needs to be strengthened—regardless of industry or company size.

Particularly in demand at:

  • Growing teams with frequent staff turnover
  • Distributed locations and hybrid work models
  • Regular reporting requirements to auditors
  • Unclear responsibilities that have evolved over time
  • Increased risk from phishing and social engineering
