ISO 27001 Compliance in Munich
Munich is the undisputed insurance and reinsurance capital of the world, home to Allianz (€150B+ in revenue), Munich Re (the world's largest reinsurer), and Versicherungskammer Bayern. The city also hosts major banks like HypoVereinsbank (UniCredit) and BayernLB, alongside a booming InsurTech scene with companies like wefox, FRIDAY, and Getsafe. Munich's unique combination of traditional insurance giants and tech startups creates diverse compliance needs.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). With 93 controls across organizational, people, physical, and technological themes, it provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive information. ISO 27001 certification is increasingly a prerequisite for doing business in the EU financial sector.
DORA applies to insurance and reinsurance undertakings just as it does to banks. For Munich's insurance sector — managing trillions in global risk exposure — digital operational resilience is critical. Munich Re alone covers cyber risks worth billions, making their own ICT resilience a matter of systemic importance. BaFin's VAIT requirements (Versicherungsaufsichtliche Anforderungen an die IT) complement DORA with insurance-specific IT governance rules. The local InsurTech ecosystem, processing sensitive health and property data, also faces stringent GDPR and DORA obligations.
