Knowledge on the Topics of Data Transfer and Data Storage

Cloud Computing

In the early days, cloud computing was primarily understood as the provision of storage capacity via central data centers. Instead of buying storage, you could rent it flexibly and as needed.

This is still largely the case today, in various forms, but the range of services offered by cloud providers has expanded to include many other interesting options.

Backup

A backup is a safety copy of data that can be used for recovery if the original data is damaged, deleted, or encrypted.

Ideally, a backup should be stored in a different location than the original data – preferably in a cloud. Find out here why this is important and what it has to do with ransomware attacks.

GDPR, ePrivacy

With the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, expanded requirements came into effect, especially regarding the protection of personal data – including severe penalties for violations.

Read here what impact the GDPR has on you and your company.

We also cover the ePrivacy Regulation, which is currently still in progress but will establish binding data protection rules that are intended to apply within the EU in the future.

GoBD

Data and documents that are to be recognized by tax authorities for tax evidentiary purposes must be handled in a specific way according to the Principles of Proper Bookkeeping (GoBD).

We explain the most important facts about archiving and storing electronic records.

Encryption

In the digital age, data protection and data security play an outstanding role.

To prevent electronic data from being viewed by third parties and to prevent data misuse, it must be encrypted. This applies both to storage and, above all, to transmission over the public internet.

You can find deeper insights into the topic of encryption here.

Ransomware

Ransomware attacks have increased significantly in recent years. After a successful attack, all data on your computer is encrypted. From that moment on, you have no way to access it. The economic damage to businesses is often enormous.

Find out here how you can protect yourself against digital extortion.

Security by Design

Especially for software designed to protect users’ data from unauthorized third-party access, software and data security must be considered and integrated throughout the entire software lifecycle.

Find out here why this is very important and how you, as a user, benefit from it.

E-Invoicing

Since 2025, e-invoicing has been a central topic for businesses in Germany: in the B2B sector, companies must be able to receive electronic invoices. The obligation to issue them is being expanded step by step.

Find out what characterizes an e-invoice, which formats such as XRechnung and ZUGFeRD are relevant, and what companies should keep in mind regarding processing, archiving, and the transition.
