The Management Board of secunet Security Networks AG, September 2022
The management's clear commitment to integrity gives rise to various measures. These are, firstly, training and counselling. secunet employees are regularly trained and sensitised to compliance issues. Participation in the training courses, which have taken place via online training since the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, is mandatory for all employees every two years.
The Compliance Office is available to answer any additional compliance questions. Secondly, guidelines define how conflicts of interest and corruption are to be handled. In the course of compliance training, attention is also drawn to compliance with the relevant guidelines and requirements by secunet's business partners.
The whistleblowing portal (BKMS® Incident Reporting) is at the disposal of employees of the secunet group or third parties to seek advice or draw attention to significant violations of the code of conduct – in particular illegal business practices.
