Using standards and specifications helps increase IT security in communications within and between companies. Higher security also supports the development of innovative technologies. By laying down uniform technical and organizational measures, standards address the three main objectives of IT security: safe access, reliability and integrity. IT security standards and specifications ensure:
- A greater transparency in security solutions (creating trust)
- The dissemination of best practices
- Descriptions of generally accepted security solutions
- Uniform terminology
- The harmonization of existing standards
